The album FOUR MINUTES for woodwind quartet contains 18 four-minute works, written by 18 composers from 9 countries. A woodwind quartet, sometimes casually called wind quartet, is an ensemble of four woodwind instruments, or music written for four instruments. The usual scoring is flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon. The instruments in a woodwind quartet usually have different ranges that allow for rich harmonies with high and low tones. Since these four instruments are from different subgroups of the instrument family, wind quartet music has timbral variety from each instrument's resonance. The composers of the album include: Giovanni Albini, Aaron Alter, Jerome de Bromhead, Ricky Chaggar, James C. Danly, Lars Fetzek, Martin Lennartz, Chan Wing Lun, Allen Molineux, Claudio Passilongo, Andrew Sigler, Randall Snyder, JosÃ© Jesus de Azevedo Souza, Stamatia Statherou, Alan Terricciano, William Toutant, Michail Travlos and Douglas Wagoner.
