I've spent the summer doing WW5 things. Cambiata Winds, my Greensboro-based quintet, is wending its way piecemeal this weekend to Granville, New York (our flutist has a second home there), where we are scheduled for five or six gigs over the next two weeks. If you are on Facebook, look us up and give us a "Like".

Rachel, we are playing the wonderful R.E. Sheldon arrangement of the "Pavanne" from Gould's "American Symphonette #2". Any of you WW5 types out there who don't know this piece should check it out. Oboe-heavy. Lots of fun, and universally well-received at our performances. (I am, for better or worse, old enough to remember when this piece was featured on the radio . . .)

Also doing two children's concerts with "Peter and the Wolf" as the centerpiece.

Other than those two, it's mostly run-of-the-mill pop quintet transcriptions. We do have the Barthe "Passacaille" and the Colomer "Menuet" and the Grainger "Walking Tune" on the programs, as well as three pieces arranged expressly for us by a fellow named Charlie Dana -- "Old Devil Moon," "Papa Loves Mambo," and "Pick Yourself Up".

This is the best part of being retired -- being able to take off on an adventure with the quintet for two weeks!

Did you know (I didn't until I was researching my program notes) that "Old Devil Moon" is from "Finian's Rainbow"? That seems like a stretch.
