Don Gillis
Woodwind Quintet. 1. They're Off!|2. The Hare Dreams|3. And Mr. Tortoise Wins the Race
The vernacular charm and wit of Don Gillis’s music provides a giddy, cartoon-like set of moods for an instrumental setting of the tortoise, the hare, and their fabled escapades. SUITE NO. 1 is a perfect solution for quintets performing school and family concerts, providing delightful music and a well-loved story, plus opportunities to teach about musical contrasts. While light-hearted in style, the work is also a satisfying 12-minute addition to the quintet recital repertoire.
