John Baptiste Calkin was a prominent 19th-century English composer, organist, and educator, known for his hymn tunes and sacred music. His works, including the famous Fling out the Banner and the Christmas carol I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day, remain widely performed. Night Winds That So Gently Flow was originally published in Novello’s Part-Song Book (No. 98) and later included in The Orpheus choral series.
This wind quartet arrangement brings Calkin’s elegant harmonies and gentle phrasing to woodwind players, offering a fresh interpretation of this charming Victorian part-song.

School & university wind ensembles
Chamber music recitals
