Publisher Desc.  Lyrical Music for Woodwind Quintet -Or- Life is Too Short Not to Play Slow Music. I have heard it said that life is too short to play slow music, but that to me is so very wrong! Sometimes it is a joy to slow down in our busy lives and what better way than to play slow, beautiful music. This group of five pieces gives your group enough to choose from in selecting a quiet piece to perform or just enjoy. This was set for woodwind quintet (flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, F horn, and bassoon) by John Gibson. It includes 1. Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, 2nd Movement, 2. J. S. Bach, Aria from The Goldberg Variations, 3. Haydn, Symphony #88, 2nd Movement, 4. Ravel, Pavane for a Dead princess, 5. J. S. Bach, Concerto for Two Violins, Largo. All music of surpassing beauty and meaning!
