Par TOMASI HENRI. French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Concertino for Flute in 1946. As with his other wind compositions, Concertino 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. Concertino for Flute and Piano Reduction is a highly unusual and modern work in three movements; 1) Cadence and Allegretto, 2) Largo, and 3) Finale. This Tomasi piece is suitable to advanced flautists, providing an exciting, alternative addition to the instrument's repertoire./ Répertoire / Orchestre Flûte Traversière et Piano

Par CAENS. Thierry Caens' Short Studies In The Keys for Trumpet. I am very happy that Hamelle is publishing the collection I have been planning to produce for several years. This collection includes works written or arranged for myself, as well as a representative selection of my own compositions (original works or arrangements). It should be of interest to all kinds of groupings, from the most standard (Trumpet and Piano, Trumpet and Organ, Trumpet and Orchestra, Wind Quintet, Trombone Quartet) to the most unusual (Cornet and Brass Quintet, large Brass Ensembles, Trumpet and Trombone with Organ), and it of course also includes teaching material(studies, exercises, competition pieces). My concern has been to present useful new pieces, but above all to awaken and develop the musical sense of brass instrumentalists. & Thierry Caens/ Etude / Trompette

Par TOMASI HENRI. French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Le Tombeau De Mireille in 1959. As with his other compositions, Le Tombeau De Mireille for Galoubet (Pipe), Piccolo or Oboe, with Tambourine, Toneless Snare Drum or Piano 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, in1921, 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. Le Tombeau De Mireille is a highly unusual and modern work, not only in instrumentation, but in its use of varying time signatures, complex rhythms and a range of performance directions. The composition exploits tonality, rhythm and structure amongst other aspects.
