John Holloway's "Wood-Up quick Step" was so popular in it's day that it became the test piece for a famous competition between Ned Kendall, playing the keyed bugle and ..... playing the cornet.

Written to prevent potential envy arising from the excluded hornist in the saxophone version. A sort demonstration piece for the standard woodwind quintet. For my colleagues at the Capital University Conservatory of Music.

We would play them offstage before entering. #2 was written for performance at the International Double Reed Society's conference at the Louisiana State Unversity. Tavern Fanfare was written for a wind octet to play a concert at, you guessed it, a tavern! The Seven Eight Fanfare was composed in 1998 for no particular ensemble or event.

Margaret Barstow's short fanfare for woodwind quintet with humorous verses describing concert etiquette spoken by the musicians. A different way to start a program that avoids the usual P.A. announcement.

The first Bagatelle from the Six Bagatelles for piano, Op.126. In the key of G with a short clarinet 'eingang'. Parts for A and B-flat clarinet parts are included. A good introductory work for any program or a fine encore when you wanted to calm down the crowd. Moderately difficult.

This short arrangement for the underserved trio repertoire for flute, B-flat clarinet and horn in F. Similar to but not exactly the same as the other trio versions.

A short, easy work for program variety.
