Hi,
I am just after some advice for repertoire. We have just formed a wind quintet and are not sure where to start with the repertoire.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

There's a list in Brymer's book.
I seem to recall he comments "there is much rubbish in this medium". Be warned.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.
To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

There is a collection of about sixteen wind quintets in a yellow book. I am not presently at home and forget the exact title or publisher, but any music store should be able to look it up with that description. Something like "Sixteen Grande Quintets"--perhaps someone else can provide the correct title. It is a great collection of ww quintets and will provide you with a sufficient repretoire to perform your first concert. I have it in my quintet library and highly recommend it for any quintet "just starting out".
I'll check this post again when I return home and if no one else has come up with the info, I'll get it to ya' then....................

Yes, Rob, do you have the twenty-two Woodwind Quintets book published by Southern Music? That is a good start if you don't have it. The Milhaud Cheminee du Roi Rene (Chimney of King Rene) is also lovely, and different than the repertoire in the 22 quintets book. Have fun!

I will second the 22 Woodwind Quintets published by Southern. Considerable variety in style and level. If you have good players and your oboist or bassoonist belongs to the International Double Reed society, check out the (24) Reicha, (9) Danzi and (3) Cambini quintets that are available at <www.idrs.org> in impressive editions for FREE download. Awesome!
Best regards,
jnk

Don't forget to give a bass clarinetist an opportunity to shine in Janacek's Mladi (Youth) Suite..........

If you're after challenging material, try:
Berio, Opus Number Zoo
Harbison, (can't remember name...is it just Quintet?)
Barber, Summer Music
If you're looking for easier stuff, try:
Ibert, Trois Pieces Breves
Arnold, (something about sea shanties...Three of 'em?)
The Milhaud is nice, as is the Janacek, and if you're after anything expanded, try the Poulenc Sexted (with piano) or the Mozart and Beethoven Quintets for Piano and Winds (no flute).
There's a looooootttttttt of stuff out there...be warned!

Reicha and Danzi are obvious places to start if you haven't done so already. I must say though, my favorite piece that our group has played is the Poulenc Sextet, only if you have a strong pianist though.

chicagoclar--
The quintet I am in is looking at getting the Poulenc. What's is like to play? How's the clarinet part?

The Malcolm Arnold "Three Sea Shanties" are incredible and a lot of fun
I've heard the Nielsen Quintet is very good (even though I've never heard it).

Oh...yeah, DH...I KNEW there was one I'd played that I had forgotten!
The Nielsen is absolutely amazing. But then again, I like his clarinet concerto the best too, and if I remember correctly it had left you cold...
And the "3 Sea Shanties" is the one I was trying to remember how many of them there are...LOL!

Juaques Hetu of Quebec wrote a super piece in 1967 which I performed a few years back. It was called Divermento of Divertissement for Wind Quintet as part of the centennial celebrations....great fun and difficult....worth looking into if you want to try a real challenge!
