Woodwind Ensemble, Woodwind Quintet Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute, French Horn, Oboe - Level 2 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.1598699
Composed by Edward Elgar. Arranged by Ray Thompson. This edition: pdf. 20th Century. 7 pages. RayThompsonMusic #1169441. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1598699).
The Wand of Youth Suites No. 1 and No. 2 are works for orchestra by Edward Elgar, first performed in 1907 and 1908 respectively. The titles Elgar gave them were, in full: The Wand of Youth (Music to a Child's Play) First Suite, Op. 1a (1869–1907) and Second Suite, (Op. 1b).
The music was drawn from material written by the composer in his youth and orchestrated forty years or so later.
This is mvt III from the first suite "Minuet (old style)" arranged for wind quintet by me.
The Minuet, in G major, is a 17th-century pastiche originally dating (in short score) from 1881.
Marked andante in 3/4, the opening bars have the annotation "The two old people enter". (In the play - the parents!)
Kennedy calls the movement "an affectionate tribute to Handel" with nothing of Haydn or Mozart in it.
Reviewing the first performance, The Times commented, "It may be doubted whether the mature composer would have given the name of 'Minuet' to a movement that is unmistakably in the saraband form".
In my arrangement: Rather than have the quintet play tutti through out, the quieter passages are played as a trio of clarinet, horn and bassoon.
