About this item
From a set of pieces originally written by de Boismortier for five treble instruments, this arrangement by Robert D. McCashin offers a number of performance opportunities for your orchestra. The opening Adagio is excellent for working on a full-bodied sound while developing a moderate to weighty bow arm. The Allegro section can be performed either as a full tutti work or in a concerto grosso fashion, giving you the flexibility of featuring your outstanding individual players while still programming the work with a younger ensemble. Outstanding! Strings

Composer
Joseph Bodin De Boismortier (1689-1755)
Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (23 December 1689 – 28 October 1755) was a French baroque composer of instrumental music, cantatas, opéra-ballets, and vocal music. Boismortier was one of the first composers to have no patrons: having obtained a royal license for engraving music in 1724, he made enormous sums of money by publishing his music for sale to the public.
The Boismortier family moved from the composer's birthplace in Thionville (in Lorraine) to the town of Metz where he received his musical education from Joseph Valette de Montigny, a well-known composer of motets. The Boismortier family then followed Montigny and moved to Perpignan in 1713 where Boismortier found employment in the Royal Tobacco Control. Boismortier married Marie Valette, the daughter of a rich goldsmith and a relative of his teacher Montigny.
