Elgar: Wand of Youth Suite No.1 Op.1a I.Overture - wind quintet

Arranged wind quintet

Mp3 is at minim = 72, rather than 88 (88 feels rushed and 72 is a much more comfortable speed for the players)

The Wand of Youth Suites No. 1 and No. 2 are works for orchestra by Edward Elgar, first performed in 1907 and 1908 respectively. The titles Elgar gave them were, in full: The Wand of Youth (Music to a Child's Play) First Suite, Op. 1a (1869–1907) and Second Suite, (Op. 1b).

The music was drawn from material written by the composer in his youth and orchestrated forty years or so later.

This is mvt I from the first suite "Overture" arranged for wind quintet by me.
