Composed by Francois-Joseph Gossec. Arranged by James Strauss. Classical. Score and parts. 10 pages. James Strauss #5298019. Published by James Strauss (A0.1035221).François-Joseph Gossec was a veteran composer and a leading figure in French music by 1789. He had spearheaded a revival of instrumental music in France, composing symphonies and string quartets, and he held posts at the Opéra. His sacred music includes the Requiem, a notable influence on Hector Berlioz. From 1789 he devoted himself to meeting the musical requirements of the Revolution. On 14 July 1790, the anniversary of the fall of the Bastille was celebrated with the Fête de la Fédération on the Champ de Mars, an event presided over by the King, Lafayette (commander of the National Guard), and Talleyrand (Bishop of Autun). Gossec provided the music, which included a Te Deum (for 1000 voices and a large orchestra) . This was perhaps the last occasion on which the unity of the nation, the monarch, and the church seemed to be a serious possibility; and indeed two days earlier the National Assembly had voted the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, which was to be an important element in fracturing such unity. The Present Tambourin its from his Stage music from Le Triomphe de la Republique, herein a version for flute and orchestra immortalised by James Galway .
