Johann Friedrich Fasch’s CONCERTO FOR 3 WIND BANDS (Concerto für drei chöre, FWV L:D 13) is possibly the largest known instrumentation for winds and percussion in the baroque era. It requires a much larger ensemble than Handel’s Musick for the Royal Fireworks. The four movements are antiphonal (but not in echoes) and have a surprisingly lacy texture.

This portion of a Beethoven piano sonata makes a fine warm-up, ensemble exercise or short concert selection. For 2Ob, 2Cl, 2Hn, 2Bn

Sophisticated (but fun!) settings of ‘Row Row’, ‘Frère Jacques’, ‘3 Blind Mice’ and ‘Lovely Evening’.

Tried and true selection for school concerts. The audience can sing along, but there are some amusing twist and turns to throw them off (a little bit!).

Settings of the Burgundian melody attributed to Bernard de la Monnoye (1641 – 1728). A Christmastime favorite.

Two dances, “Buckley’s Favorite Reel” and the “Saratoga Hornpipe” can be found in early 19th century collections of American dance music. The setting recalls the jubilant, foot-stomping, rhythmical drive of the country fiddlers, banjoists and washtub-bassists who played the music.

A march in 18th century style with some surprising use of traditional rhythms. Also available for 2Cl, Bn, 2Hn [7206A].
