The solo group consists of a sextet of the woodwind instruments which are normally doubled with more regular members of the orchestra: these six strangers now brought to the fore are piccolo alto flute cor anglais clarinet inEb bass clarinet in Bb and contrabassoon. They make a motley group diverse in colour as in register and one of the tasks of the piece sets itself is to have them blend and cohere both together as an ensemble and in partnershipwith the string orchestra (which itself is used with unusual variety and subtlety). Another evident task of the work is to provide fine solos for each member of the woodwind sextet: bright dances for the piccolo recitativesfor the alto flute a stoical song from the contrabassoon in the extreme bass. The work is cast as a single movement which begins in the composer's first-movement style of rapid regeneration. This is interrupted by slowinterventions including one for divided strings which gives rise to a sextuple cadenza for the soloists. Out of this comes a slow movement or sequence of short slow movements followed by a dancing finale with its own slowepisodes. Altogether this is music of songs and dances heavily tinged with Scottish rhythms and tonalities: one might think of a magic bagpipe having six chanters and a drone of variegated string texture.

For brass sextet: 2 trumpets French horn 2 trombones and tuba.-The sea depicted in 'Poems of the Sea' from which this 'Chanty' was taken are neither as dramatically stormy as in 'The Flying Dutchman' nor as reflective as Debussy's in 'La Mer'. Instead they are gentle without being placid andenergetic without being turbulent. 'Chanty' itself is far removed form the kind of sea shanty exemplified by 'What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor' - this is a reflective piece with a touching melody. It is here arranged forBrass Sextet by R.W. Landes.

French composer Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) significantly contributed to the wind repertoire. Sinfonia Da Camera for Wind Sextet was published in 1965 and remains prominent in the ensemble repertoire. Dubois' music is characteristically light-hearted with unusual harmonic and melodic textures. Sinfonia Da Camera for Flute Oboe Clarinet Saxophone Horn and Bassoon reflects Dubois' compositional characteristics and is made up of three movements; 1) Entrance 2) Gigue and 3) Variations. Sinfonia Da Camera is essential to the advanced Wind Sextet repertoire. Dubois'work makes for an exciting varied and enjoyable performance for players and audiences alike.

Tango avec une différence : n'a ne pas marqué pour bandonéon ou le típico sexteto commun, mais convaincante pour quatuor à cordes. Que ce soit comme un morceau solo ou encore humoristique d'une soirée de concert classique and ndash - les mélodies de tango un peu nostalgique auront l'effet désiré sur l'auditoire. / Quatuor A Cordes
