I'm looking to add one more piece to the program for my senior recital in March, and I've asked my woodwind quintet to play. I'm looking for a piece about 5-10 minutes long. Our bassoon player is having her senior recital later that day, so I don't want to choose anything too bassoon-heavy, but otherwise, I'm pretty open to any suggestions!
Here are the pieces we've played in the past:
Rosetti - Quintet
Agay - Five Easy Dances
Rameau - Gavotte with 6 Doubles
Zaninelli - Dance Variations
Farkas - Hungarian Dances
Andriessen - Sciarada Spagnuola
Arnold - Sea Shanties

Oh, we've also played the Haydn Divertimento in B-flat and the Persichetti Pastorale (one of my favorites!).

The Ligeti Bagatelles is fun, although it could be a little complicated to put together. Well worth the challenge!

Looking in my ww5 folder:
Beethoven Op 71 cut-down for 5. Good clarinet lead in the first movement, and if you can get the hornist to bring in the 2nd movement the way you want to phrase it, you can sing there. Last movement, well, many can recall the Mickey Mouse song. This is in the Sougthern Music Company (no defunct) Collection B-208. Probably not hard to find.
Two from the Imani Winds:
Umoja The First Day of Qwanzaa by Valerie Coleman (Imani on youTube to see how Mariam wails the clarinet stuff)
<http://www.internationalopus.com/cgi-bin/io.pl?mode=composer&composer=18>
Oblivion by Astor Piazzolla and arranged by the Imani Hornist, Jeff Scott.
<http://www.internationalopus.com/cgi-bin/io.pl?mode=composer&composer=87>
Franz Danzi Quintett Op. 67, No. 2 You can get the score at IMSLP:
<http://imslp.org/wiki/3_Wind_Quintets,_Op.67_%28Danzi,_Franz%29>
It uses your A Clarinet. He wrote two others (No. 1, and No. 3), but we have not tried them out.

^Was just about to mention, how about some of the Reicha Quintets? Good music. More specifically the later ones. The early ones were, meh, imo.

Barber is 11 minutes long. Amazing piece and a very good showcase for pretty much everyone.
It's difficult though, takes quite a while to get together well.

the Ibert of course. There is a Bozza piece but I can't remember the title, kind of a theme and seven variations, very nice but takes some work.

Diemer: Woodwind quintet #1
Washburn: Suite for woodwind quintet
Milhaud: Two sketches
Or you might string together 2 short contrasting pieces, such as:
Grainger: Walking tune & Lisbon
Debussy: Girl with the flaxen hair & Golliwog's cakewalk
Handel/Holcombe: Water Music excerpts
Or a Bach prelude and fugue (IMSLP has several)
Bozza's op. 42 is Variations on a Free Theme
Your choice might be guided by what's already on your program; if there's a particular century or nationality that's not represented, that might be the way to go.

If you liked the Malcolm Arnold you could try Paul Patterson's Westerly Winds. Quite light-hearted and based on folk tunes.
