I'll log in again in about 40 minutes after I've watched Osma Vanska and the BBCSO play Nielsen's 4th (BBC Music magazine DVD picked up in a charity shop).

Double concerti providers?

[Norfolk Born]

One full-blown concertante work and two others for smaller ensembles.

[subcontrabass]

One full-blown concertante work and two others for smaller ensembles.

Hoddinott: Doubles, Concertante for oboe, strings and harpsichord

Spohr: 4 double string quartets (Louis Spohr was the son of Carl Heinrich Spohr, a doctor who was a pioneer of homeopathic medicine)

[Norfolk Born]

Two down, one to go!

[Norfolk Born]

As subcontrabass has got two of the three, I think he should be asked to set 'E' as soon as somebody has identified our third composer.

a double quintet ???

[Norfolk Born]

Yup. Easily googled....

[mercia]

Gunther Schuller, but I've temporarily lost the name of the work

EDIT - Double quintet for brass & wind

[Norfolk Born]

Double Quintet for Wind and Brass Quintets.
To recap: Gunther Schuller Double Quintet; Louis Spohr Double Quartets; Alun Hoddinott 'Doubles'
scb for the 'E', I think? I'm off to watch Part 1 of 'Great Expectations'.
