in this Fall’s Come to the Concert series examines the interplay of
music created for one such group, a quintet consisting of flute, oboe,
clarinet bassoon and horn, the standard “wind quintet.” The

(Elizabeth Raum), American (Brandon, Fine, and Coleman) and British
(Alan Bullard), but with great variety, rhythmic vitality, lyrical
depth and charm.
