The five movements of The Wildflower Quintet for Reed Quintet (Oboe/English horn, Clarinet, Soprano/Alto Saxophone, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon) are based on the imagery from several poems from the book The Wildflower by Bette Woolsey Castro, a friend of Lady Bird Johnson who founded the Lady Bird’s Wildflower Research Center in Austin, Texas.
The Wildflower Quintet is a re-imagining of Jenni’s work The Wildflower Trio (oboe, bassoon, piano). for oboe, bassoon, and piano, commissioned by the College of Fine Arts of the University of Texas at Austin to honor the life and environmental work of Lady Bird Johnson.
In this newly re-imagined version for Reed Quintet that was commissioned, recorded, and premiered by the Kalliope Quintet, the colors of the quintet add additional voices to the many wildflowers in Texas and across the United States. These instruments help to paint a broad picture of colors, shapes, and majesty of the flowers, and continue to honor the legacy and work of Mrs. Johnson.
