Concierto pastoral

The Concierto pastoral is a flute concerto by Joaquín Rodrigo. Rodrigo wrote the work from 1977-1978 on commission from James Galway, who had first encountered the composer's work in 1974 when he asked permission to transcribe the Fantasia para un Gentilhombre for flute. Galway gave its premiere on October 17, 1978, in London, with Eduardo Mata conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra.

Movements

The concerto is in three movements, the second of which is the source of the name "pastoral":

  • Allegro
  • Adagio
  • Rondo (allegro)

The first and third movements contain many intervals of sevenths, octaves and ninths, as well as considerable use of grace notes and appoggiaturas.[1]

gollark: I wonder what you could do to encourage more trading. More spread out ore veins, so you can set up some giant base somewhere to harvest copper and whatnot.
gollark: For example, people don't really do Botania stuff all that often, so you can sell them that sort of equipment.
gollark: Not everyone makes everything in a kitchen sink pack, mind you.
gollark: Not Krist-as-actual-economy.
gollark: That's just Krist-for-artificial-gating.
