Product Description

The Wand of Youth Suites No. 1 and No. 2 are works for orchestra by Edward Elgar, first performed in 1907 and 1908 respectively. The titles Elgar gave them were, in full: The Wand of Youth (Music to a Child's Play) First Suite, Op. 1a (18691907) and Second Suite, (Op. 1b).
The music was drawn from material written by the composer in his youth and orchestrated forty years or so later.

This is mvt II from the first suite "Serenade" arranged wind quintet.

The Serenade (andantino) in F is a gently lilting movement.

Elgar's orchestration has an initial clarinet melody later taken over by the violins and then alternated between strings and woodwinds.

My quintet arrangement retains the initial melody on the clarinet.
