Published by Sjoerd van der Veen (A0.546756).The Entertainer - Scott Joplin | Sparkling Arrangement for Woodwind Quintet
Bring the infectious rhythm of 1902 to your next concert with this professional arrangement of Scott Joplin’s ragtime masterpiece. Expertly voiced for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn, and Bassoon, this version captures the authentic "St. Louis" swing while celebrating the unique colors of the woodwind family.
Why this arrangement works for your quintet:
Idiomatic Writing: Unlike simple transcriptions, this arrangement is written with woodwind players in mind. Each instrument is used in its most effective register to ensure the syncopations remain crisp and the textures transparent.
Democratic Distribution: The iconic melodies and playful counter-lines are shared across the ensemble. While the Flute and Clarinet often sparkle on top, the Oboe and Horn take turns with lyrical fragments, ensuring an engaging experience for every player.
Solid "Stride" Foundation: The Bassoon and Horn work together to create the essential "kick-and-afterbeat" feel of a ragtime piano, providing a rock-solid foundation that drives the piece forward without overpowering the ensemble.
Audience Favorite: Ragtimes are the perfect "crowd-pleasers." This arrangement is an ideal choice for recitals, weddings, garden parties, or as a high-energy encore.

Instrumentation: Standard Woodwind Quintet (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet in Bb, Horn in F, Bassoon).
