French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Five Secular and Sacred Dances for Wind Quintet in 1963. As with his other wind compositions, Five Secular and Sacred Dances was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother in to his compositions. Five Secular and Sacred Dances is a reduction arrangement of his work of the same name for Chamber Orchestra. Comprising five movements; 1) Rural Dance, 2) Secular Dance, 3) Sacred Dances, 4) Bridal Dance, and 5) Warrior Dances, Five Secular and Sacred Dances is one of three Wind Quintets by the composer. This Tomasi piece is suitable to an advanced Wind Quintet, providing an exciting alternative addition to the ensemble repertoire..

Adventures with Music Book 3 WWII is ending, but the musical adventures are just beginning World War II enters a new phase, summer is in full swing, and Dale Kingston, the boy who saved the Conn Musical Instrument factory from burning to the ground in Starting Early (Volume One in the Adventures with Music series) faces his biggest adventure so far: Junior High School. As Dale and his friends climbed the steps to the junior high, a tall dark-haired boy stepped in front of them. Dale looked up and said, Can you tell us where the band room is? The boy smirked and looked over at his friends, who were leaning against a railing. “Hey aren’t you that hot shot cornet player from Emerson School, the one who saved the town from the fire?” The boy stared down at Dale, his feet planted firmly on the ground, blocking the entrance to the school. “Well, don’t think you’re coming to my school and taking it over. You’re on my turf and don’t you forget it.” .
