Alvin Etler: Wind Quintet No. 1 -- New York Woodwind Quintet



The New York Woodwind Quintet:
Samuel Baron, flute
Jerome Roth, oboe
David Glazer, clarinet
Arthur Weisberg, bassoon
John Barrows, horn

Alvin Etler was a good composer who I suspect is remembered a lot less than his music merits.  The only pieces of his I played were for recorder trio, two altos and a tenor.  As I remember one of them imitated mourning doves rather ingeniously, though that was going on fifty years ago.  I wish I still had the music, they don't seem to be posted anywhere in performance online.
