Tomasi, Henri - Chant Corse

Chant Corse for Horn and Piano by Henri Tomasi.

Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) was an important French composer of the middle half of the 1900s. He wrote several pieces reflecting in some way the music and landscape of the French-ruled island of Corsica, one of the three large islands that lie to the West of Italy in the Mediterranean. "Chant" here means "Song." The song, as unwinding in this piece, expresses many emotions in quick order, mostly gentle. Sorrow, fitfulness, and playfulness are all present in the three and a half minute piece.
