After a promising start as composer, earning respect and awards (a Grammy nomination, a Charles Ives Scholarship, a Fulbright Scholarship, etc.) along the way, Martin turned to Wall Street for almost two decades. Returning now to his first love, he brings us four woodwind quintets written during the years 1971 through 1980. These four quintets, taken together, offer a glimpse into the compositional ascent of a rising composer.
