The Wand of Youth Suites No. 1 and No. 2 are works for orchestra by Edward Elgar, first performed in 1907 and 1908 respectively. The titles Elgar gave them were, in full: The Wand of Youth (Music to a Child's Play) First Suite, Op. 1a (1869–1907) and Second Suite, (Op. 1b).

The music was drawn from material written by the composer in his youth and orchestrated forty years or so later.

This is mvt VI from the first suite "Slumber Scene" arranged for wind quintet by me.

My arrangement takes a slightly faster tempo than Elgar’s.

This movement is in G major, 4/4, moderato,.The original is written for muted strings with two bassoons and a single horn.The double bass line uses only the open strings: Elgar noted, "the simplicity of the bass made it possible for a child who knew nothing of music on any instrument to grind out the bass".Diana McVeagh comments that Elgar's harmonic shifts over the bass are "a tour de force, the soporific rhythm soothing, never monotonous".

Check out my other Elgar arrangements and other mvts from this suite.
