Quintet, op. 23

by John Simon (b. 1944) - English composer
I. Lento- energico
II. Molto adagio me mesto
III. Scherzino
IV. Moderato assai
This wind quintet was originally composed in 1972 while Simon was studying composition at the Royal College of Music. He was asked by John Lambert to write a trio for flute, oboe, and bassoon, and feeling this to a rather dry combination, instead offered to write a wind quintet. The work was composed at Walton on Thames in the same year. It received its premiere in 1977.
