Quilter: Three English Dances Op.11 - 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 songtradition.



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 his Three English Dances Op.11

Arranged wind quintet.

Timing of the Dances on the Video are:

0:00 Dance Number 1
