Description

Pastorale et Arlequinade
for flute, oboe, and piano
by Eugene Goossens (1893-1962) – English conductor and composer

I. Pastorale

II. Arlequinade

Dedicated to Leon Goossens

The Piano, which starts the Pastorale on its own during six measures, is joined by the Flute and followed seven measures later by the Oboe. This first movement is quite slow, with sounds reminiscent of the countryside. The Arlequinade begins with the Flute and Oboe which are then followed by the Piano. More cheerful from the beginning, it features a dialogue between all three.
