A reduced instrumentation version of the largest of Reicha's two monumental works for 3 wind bands. This performing edition calls for 14 musicians (or more if parts are doubled) as follows: 1 piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 B-flat clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns in F, 2 trumpets in C (or B-flat), 1 double bass, 1 field drums and 1 bass drum. If you can't find enough players for the original instrumentation, perform this version because the music is very good and deserves to be heard. We also publish the original full instrumentation [1114A,B]

An arrangement of the famous piece from the 12 hundreds for woodwind choir. Calls for piccolo, 2 flutes, oboe, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 2 alto saxes, tenor and baritone sax.

Ignaz Jakob Holzbauer (1711 - 1783) composed this Divertimento in C with six short movements. This edition has horn parts in F and bassoon parts without any tenor clef. The second horn has a lot of notes below the treble staff but some higher notes are shown. We have also prepared a version of the same work for four bassoons [1007B]. Total duration 6'30.

A transcription for 10 players of a piano piece discovered in a 19th century collection from my wife's ancestors. A delightfully buoyant dance. Scored for flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinet in B-flat, 2 bassoons, 2 horns in F and double bass or contrabassoon. I speculate that the composer used initials as identification to remain anonymous.

Two Canadian Folk Tunes for wind nonet is an arrangement of two melodies found in "Come 'A Singing Canadian Folk Songs" by Marius Barbeau, et al (Ottawa: the King's Printer, 1947). "My Lonely heart" came from the singing on Mme. Bolduc, Quebec City, 1918; "the Jolly Raftsmen" is a French Canadian Ottawa River song. I later set "The Jolly Raftsman" for woodwind quintet [9513] and for twelve orchestral woodwinds as "Merry Raftsmen" [7905].
