Ayotte - For All the Saints (Organ and Woodwind Quintet)
For All the Saints — For Organ and Woodwind Quintet by Benjamin Ayotte
For All the Saints by Benjamin Ayotte is an original setting of the beloved All Saints' hymn text for the distinctive combination of organ and woodwind quintet — a pairing that brings together the grandeur and sustaining power of the pipe organ with the agility and timbral variety of the woodwind ensemble. The result is a work of ceremonial warmth and festive dignity, ideal for the Feast of All Saints and any occasion calling for music that honors those who have gone before.
Crafted with the professional engraving quality and idiomatic writing that define the Ayotte catalog, this work is a distinguished addition to the repertoire for this unusual and rewarding combination.
