French
composer and conductor,
Henri Tomasi (1901-1971)
published his Corsican
Song for alto
saxophone and piano in
1932. As with his other
wind compositions,
Corsican Song was
well-received by
audiences. Tomasi was
born in Marseille, but
his father and mother
were originally from La
Casinca in Corsica.
Despite being pressured
into musical studies by
his parents, Tomasi
dreamed of becoming a
sailor, and during the
summer, he stayed with
his grandmother in
Corsica where he learnt
traditional Corsican
songs. However, in 1921,
he began his studies at
the Paris Conservatoire
and went on to become a
high profile composer and
conductor. Tomasi did not
forget his Corsican
routes, often
incorporating themes of
the songs he had learnt
during the summers with
his grandmother in to his
compositions, as is the
case with Corsican
Song. This Tomasi
work is unusual in
composition through its
exploitation of tonality,
rhythm and structure
amongst other aspects.
However, this Tomasi
piece, suitable for
advanced saxophonists,
provides an exciting,
alternative addition to
the repertoire.
