Donald Bousted & Celia Ireland - Air and Two Eclogues: Air

from Barry Tone​’​s Fantastic Adventure by Donald Bousted

about

These three pastorals were written as a direct response to Donald Bousted’s call (in the ‘Lockdown spring’ of 2020) for new pieces for ukulele and recorder. I was struck, when I heard recordings of these instruments, singly and combined, of a certain ‘innocence’ of sound which seemed to return one to a far distant time (to ancient Greek or Roman days) when such simple piping and strumming was commonplace amongst the shepherd folk of the hills and meadows, as well as in the more sophisticated environment of the villas. Hence my use of the titles, Air and Eclogues (the latter being used for pastoral verse by poets such as Virgil and other Roman poets).–Peter Thompson
