Score and parts for ‘flexible’ Wind Quintet (or mixed wind ensemble in five parts).Part One: Flute (Piccolo)Part Two: OboePart Two: Clarinet 1 in BbPart …Three: Clarinet 2 in Bb or Horn in FPart Four: Bassoon or Bass ClarinetThe Winnie-the-Pooh Suite was composed during September 1997 for the woodwind quintet at Yateley School in Hampshire. The group had enormously enjoyed preparing and performing Homage to Beatrix Potter by Christopher le Fleming and asked Gwyn Parry-Jones for a companion piece. As he is a great fan of the Pooh stories, these became the inspiration for a short suite, which was first performed at Yateley School on October 23rd 1997.
The first editon of this Suite, published by Phylloscopus Publications in 1998, was scored for flute/opt. piccolo, oboe, two clarinets and bassoon, with alternative parts for horn in F (thereby allowing performance by a standard wind quintet) and also a bass clarinet part as alternative to the bassoon. This new edition presents the same flexible scheme.
