French
composer and conductor,
Henri Tomasi (1901-1971)
published Three
Pastorales for Flute Trio
in 1964. As with his
other wind compositions,
Three Pastorales 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
in to 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 learned
during the summers with
his Grandmother in to his
compositions. The Three
Pastorales are named; 1)
Bolivian, 2) Cretan, and
3) Sicilienne. This
Tomasi piece is suitable
to an advanced Flute
Trio, providing an
exciting alternative
addition to the ensemble
repertoire..
