Working on Tchaikovsky’s Album of the Young for woodwind quintet. My goal is to arrange about 6-8 parts for a beginning woodwind quintet. The challence is to write within the playing range, but yet colorful. And with maximum 3 sharps or minors.
Also comming up:
horn quartet: Pavane by Fauré, Easy WInners
horn quintet: Pavane by Fauré
Clarinet quartet: Bach – Presto form the Italian concerto
A graceful melody that almost everyone knows: Minuet and Trio from the string quartet in E by Luigi Boccherini. Arranged in the classical style, as if it were written for wind quintet.
Especially in these difficult (Corona) times for the symphonic bands, I arranged the spirited Dance of the Miller by Manuel de Falla for a mixed ensemble. Special price till Januari 31th!

Last week I got the request to adapt the woodwind quintet version of Tico Tico to a version with alto saxophone and bass clarinet instead of french horn and bassoon. Of course, it would be very simple to change these parts one to one, but the alto saxophone has a higher range and a different sound then the horn. So I chose to re-arrange the piece.
You can see and here the result here: Tico Tico for flute, oboe, clarinet, alto sax and bass clarinet:
Tico Tico no fubá | Zequinha de Abreu | wind quintet (flute-oboe-clarinet-alto sax-bass clar)
Beautyfull music, composed for piano in 1890 arranged for woodwind quintet (also availbable for clarinet quartet) in 2 different keys (D and C). Sounds great in combination with Cadiz from Suite Española (Albeniz) and Zarabanda from Danzas Españolas (Granados) and the “Spanish” parts from Carmen!
Just finished 2 arrangements of Wagners Bridal March for clarinet quartet and horn quartet. I think I will make one more for woodwind quintet….
Now working on The Entertainer by Scott Joplin for clarinet choir as well for clarinet quartet. Really fun working on this. Just had the idea to make it also for horn sextet 🙂
And of course, the Christmas Medley must be finished! Level easy-medium
Any suggestions for an arrangement? Let me know!
Arranging this peace is so much fun!
Coming up this month for clarinet quartet!
Especially for the Netherlands and Belgium:
Binnenkort verkrijgbaar een Sinterklaas medley met bekende Sinterklaasliedjes in een ander jasje. Zo is er o.a. een Rumba, een wals, een mazurka en ook de tango ontbreekt niet!
