Cecile Chaminade was born in Paris in 1857. Her music is accessible and entertaining, but also with a depth to it that remains of musical interest to this day. Probably her flute concerto is the piece best known, but she wrote a great many fine pieces. This piece, the Pastorale Op. 114 was written for piano and published in 1904. This arrangement is set for 3 flutes by John Gibson.
