Enchant your audiences with this intermediate arrangement for woodwind quintet of Charles Stanford's beautiful "Beati Quorum Via," based on Psalm 119, from his Three Latin Motets, Opus No. 38--instantly downloadable for your next performance.  It is perfect for recitals, church gigs, background dinner music gigs, funerals, educational outreach, and children's concerts. This arrangement was written for most ensembles, ranging from advanced high school ensembles to professional woodwind quintets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon.

 Sir Charles Villiers Stanford was an Anglo-Irish composer, organist, music teacher, and conductor of the late Romantic era. He taught composition at the Royal College of Music in London and was Professor of Music at Cambridge University. A well-respected educator and composer, he is best known for his choral works. His "Beati Quorum Via," often described as pastoral or sublime, is a staple of Anglican choral music and is often performed in liturgies and concerts. Originally written for an SSATBB choir, I hope you enjoy this unique setting for winds.
