The first two movements ("Plein Jeu" and "Fugue") from Nicholas deGrigny's great organ setting of the plainchant "Veni Creator Spiritus," arranged for woodwind quintet. (The "translation" of this music from the medium of organ solo to that of wind quintet is a natural one, since these movements were composed in five-part counterpoint, and given that the combination of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon is a tonal palette very similar to that of a French baroque organ.) Score and parts have been thoroughly edited, such that any good quintet should be able to produce a stylistically-appropriate performance using the articulation, dynamics, and ornamentation provided, whether or not the players have any prior acquaintance with the genre.
