It is responsible for increasing the repertoire and prominence of woodwind quintets throughout the United States and the world including many premieres and several commissions of new works for quintet. In addition, it revived the older repertory for the medium. The Quintet is one of the first American wind chamber groups to enjoy a worldwide reputation.</p><p>This history shows how the New York Woodwind Quintet has greatly influenced the musical repertoire and popularity of woodwind quintets as a viable chamber ensemble. Oral histories were conducted with former and current quintet members. In addition, members' personal programs and clipping files were used for further information on repertoire and premiere dates. Other research materials were available through the Samuel Baron Collection at the Library of Congress, and clipping and program files at the New York Public Library. The discography and filmography were researched using OCLC, RILN abstracts and the Baron Collection. The Library of Congress concert listings were found through the Library of Congress Catalog. Member biographies were found through members themselves, university web sites, orchestra archivists, or journal articles.</p><p>The history of the New York Woodwind Quintet includes many performances at the Library of Congress, and world tours to South America, Europe, the Far East, and the Soviet Union. The history also includes numerous tours around the United States, children's concerts for Young Audiences, Inc.; collaborations with many well-known composers and numerous recordings; residencies at various universities and colleges, including Summer Evenings of Music at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee, a continuing summer residency at Yale University's Norfolk Festival and a current residency at the Juilliard School.</p> 1999 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1261061176 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1261061176 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
