My Sonatina for wind quintet was written in January 2002. The three movements of the work (Moderato, Andante Sostenuto and Allegro con brio) are very much based in both structure and idiom on the classical tradition and gesture - the transformations in the first movement, everything kept in place in a tight classical form. The wind quintet's many commedia dell'arte masks are presented with humour, and the work recalls works from musical history where composers have been inspired by spontaneous popular gaiety. Anders Koppel, 2003.

Postcards was written in 1991 for the Vega Wind Quintet, who first performed it at the Huddersfield Festival in the same year. It is a reworking of a set of eight Bagatelles written in 1965: each movement has been rewritten and enlarged to a greater or lesser extent. The title was chosen to emphasise the nature of the pieces, which are in a sense brief postcards from different genres (fugato, dance, etc).
John McCabe (1939-2015) was a British composer, pianist and music administrator. He studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music and built a career as a virtuoso pianist. However, he also wrote several hundred musical compositions,ranging from large-scale orchestral works to chamber music and solo instrumental pieces - it is said the only classical genre he did not write for was opera.

Four contrasting movements. Giocoso, Sostenuto, Allegro and ComodoThe Couperin family’s influence extended over five generations and was as important to French music as the Bachs’ to German music. François 1668-1733 (known as ‘le Grand’) was, like his father, organist of St. Gervais and in 1693 became organist to the King at Versailles.He excelled as a composer of keyboard music and produced an instruction book L’Art de Toucher le Clavecin, which is valuable for the light it throws on contemporary practice in harpsichord playing.J. S. Bach knew and admired François Couperin’s music and the two did correspond. Alas, the letters disappeared when, (according to an article in Grove) they were used as lids for jampots!Arranged by Bryan KellyFormer Spartan Press Cat. No.: SP1115.
