Program Notes
The Braintree Quintet is a contemporary presentation of traditional hymns found in the hymnals of the Community First Baptist Church of Braintree, Vermont. The five movements of the quintet explore the old hymns with energy and affection. This music can be played in concert version, as written; or as was done at the premiere performance at the Braintree Hill Meetinghouse, the audience/congregation may sing each hymn before the winds play their instrumental interpretation. [For this purpose, the hymn tunes are provided in the appendix to the score.] Gwyneth Walker

Review
"not just fun, it's not just spiritual, it is beautiful!" <BR> "Gwyneth's music speaks to everyone somehow, some way... whether through her humor, sense of retrospection or tenderness, sheer joy, or seriousness. Sometimes there's a more obvious mission, such as literal story-telling, where she includes a narrator. Gwyneth allows the story to come alive right before us so that there's a sense of immediacy in its creation and we become a part of it. Other times, such as in her Raise the Roof, the spirit gathered in the room is collectively effusive, alive, warm and soulful in its joy. In her Braintree Quintet, where at one moment there is laughter in the audience as the oboist and bassoonist simulate sounds of bleating sheep, and at another there is the undeniable sense that the audience has unified; an unforeseen group meditation experience. I am not only moved by that specific movement, but I feel that the audience is at once with me and yet far away into themselves. How could I not want to share all of that? <BR>--Carole Lemire, EQUINOX CHAMBER PLAYERS
