This month the freebie sheet music is "Three Landlers" by Giuliani set by John Gibson for flute quartet, clarinet quartet, and woodwind quartet (flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon - with alternate bass clarinet part). A Landler was an early form of the waltz. Very cheery music for the new year!

Matthew is a teacher, performer and published writer living in Brockville, Ontario, Canada. He has submitted a number of fine woodwind quintets that are now online. They have the advantage of having alternate parts provided so a clarinet could play the oboe part, or a bass clarinet could play the bassoon part if those instruments are not available.
Here is a list of Matthew's pieces. You can get more information and make your purchases by clicking on the link.

A good part of what your audience hears is really what they see, so take a video of yourself playing. Do you dance around like a dizzy giraffe or scowl like an angry cobra ready to strike? Ease up a little and keep your audience's eyes in mind.
Have fun playing!
Sincerely,
John Gibson JB Linear Music
