Quilter: Three English Dances Op.11 No.1 - wind quintet
Roger Cuthbert Quilter (1 November 1877 – 21 September 1953) was a British composer, known particularly for his art songs. His songs, which number over a hundred, often set music to text by William Shakespeare and are a mainstay of the English art song tradition.
Probably his best known work is "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal."
Quilter wrote mostly songs, but there are a few piano pieces, some orchestral pieces and some incidental music to theatrical works. There are a few chamber works, too: these are almost always arrangements of his other pieces.
This is my arrangement of No.1 from Three English Dances Op.11 (Allegro giocoso)
Arranged wind quintet.
