Hey Andrew, no worries in the future you can contact us if you have any transcriptions needed :)

Indeed it is Cathy Well said!

Thank you Sean! Happy that you have enjoyed my recording - I'm so glad I even managed to record and preserve it. The embellishments were something I thought to just differentiate (without veering too far off) my recording from others' who tend to follow the written score to the tee.

@@OriolePublishing It was great!

Hello! Thanks for your compliment This rendition is just a reference - the wind quintet is free to perform it at any tempo they determine :)

Thanks for your comments! We have carefully considered your comments and these are our responses At Oriole Publishing, we closely model the arrangements after Composer’s original scoring (as far as we can tell from an original scoring), striving to adhere to Composer’s original intentions for the scorings. We do not endeavour to come up with any unnecessary markings that may or may not obscure from what they had in mind. Some Composers are more directive in their markings whilst others are not highly prescriptive in every dynamic or markings. This is to be expected. As best as we can, we strive to follow the Composer’s original intentions for the scoring, and then leave it to the performer to work out their own interpretations. On the point of the lower/middle register of the flute: If you or any flute player have an issue getting a good sound around the middle or bottom part of the register for fear or not being able to deliver an adequate sounds vis-à-vis other performers, maybe they should work on their own tone first and reconsider playing in a very small group such as a wind quintet, let alone an ensemble, a wind band or even an orchestra. Perhaps the level of difficulty of the music is not suitable. Composers since time immemorial have intentionally written passages whether solo or not for the middle and lower registers of the flute to bring out different tone colours or deliver a different expression. We don’t see them restricting themselves to writing for the higher registers of the flute all the time just because someone felt the middle/bottom notes of the flute are “hard to get a good sound”. Thankfully, they did not restrict themselves, otherwise we won’t have some of the most famous orchestra flute solos such as in Dvorak’s New World Symphony, Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night Dream, or Debussy’s Afternoon of a Faun. At Oriole Publishing, we take the same approach of arranging parts for the flute that showcases the beauty of the flute sound in all of its registers, low, middle or high. It will be a tremendous mis-opportunity to write exclusively higher registers for the flute just to make the part easier for the flute player. We expect that the Wind Quintet and flute player, in choosing to play in a small ensemble such as Wind Quintet, have attained a suitable competency in their respective instruments to be able to not only hold their own, but listen, respond to and partner adequately with their Quintet colleagues, in ways that retain the integrity of the music and deliver an engaging performance. By the way I am a real flute player and I love to express lower and middle registers in the Wind Quintet arrangements because they deliver different tone colours in melodic messages or a chance to better tone down to blend with my colleagues in accompaniment passages. I believe that Wind Quintet is a teamwork and every of the 5 instrument should have a chance to shine. Being the highest sounding instruments does not mean the flute needs to shine and stand out all the time.

Have fun and practise hard! I'm sure it would be fun for you :)

Thank you for your very kind words Sarah. I wish you all the best and I believe you can do it!

Thank you for your kind words! Yes I tried to keep exactly what you said, the right amount of freedom!

To Rite of Spring territory? Bold! Will it be a range suitable for intermediate players?

Yeah you would probably need 3-4 years of experience to get those out at a reasonable tone

@@plunger9165 I would probably add an optional 8va over the solo passage!

@@OriolePublishing ok

Thank you for your very kind words!

Thanks for your optimism but i don’t think this will hit millions of views. I would be happy with 10000 views:)

As an arranger for Wind Quintet, I agree with you! It is also very fun to arrange for Wind Quintet (and yes countless research needed too!)

Thanks Suzi! Your comment is so fast; I only just uploaded this!

@@OriolePublishing If music comes up when I'm holding my phone, I jump right on it! I play along ... :)

@@suzibikerbabe8073 nice! Better still you can purchase my arrangement and perform it with your group :)

@@OriolePublishing I have saved it in a folder with more from you so when this covid crisis is over and we can meet again, we can decide which ones we all like.

@@suzibikerbabe8073 Fantastic! Looking forward to it. If you have multiple purchases, I can extend a discount to you :) Let me know

Hello Anthony! I use Sibelius Best Regards Ernest Lin

Hi @NY-AN, yea definitely will explore that! High registers on High Bassoon sounds good for solo, abs many composers have utilitised that too.
