Windscapes is scored for the traditional quintet; flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon. However, with the wide variety of optional parts provided, these tunes can be played with almost any five wind instruments. You'll need a flute to play Part 1, but Parts 2 through 4 can be covered by a combination of wind instruments. The bass line can be performed by nine different wind instruments, cello, or keyboard. The ranges and technical demands are suitable for high school players. Each volume contains five complete arrangements of general hymn selections suitable for worship all year.
