â??French
composer and conductor,
Henri Tomasi (1901-1971)
published Three
Divertissements for
Clarinet Quartet in 1964.
As with his other wind
compositions, Three
Divertissements 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 into his
compositions. The Three
Divertissements are
named; 1) Proceedings, 2)
Masquerade, and 3)
Rounds. This Tomasi piece
is suitable to an
advanced Clarinet
Quartet, providing an
exciting alternative
addition to the ensemble
repertoire.â?.
