"The Fable of the Tortoise and the Hare"
for Wind Quintet
Instrumentation

- Clarinet in Bb
- Horn in F

The vernacular charm and wit of Don Gillis’s music provides a giddy, cartoon-like set of moods for an instrumental setting of the tortoise, the hare, and their fabled escapades. SUITE NO. 1 is a perfect solution for quintets performing school and family concerts, providing delightful music and a well-loved story, plus opportunities to teach about musical contrasts. While light-hearted in style, the work is also a satisfying 12-minute addition to the quintet recital repertoire.
