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

Written and performed by The Ohio State University Symphonic Band, Richard L. Blatti, director.

2. "Bold Wolfe"
