    Default L.C. Desormes: "Le Soir", evening prayer for 2 mandolins

    "Le Soir -- Prière de L.C. DESORMES"

    Written by Louis César Desormes (1840-1898)
    Arranged for two mandolins by Janvier Pietrapertosa Fils

    From "Mandoline-Album", available for download from:

    This contemplative piece for two mandolins is described as a "prayer" in the score, which suits the mood. Played as a duet on two vintage Italian bowlback mandolins.

    1890s Umberto Ceccherini mandolin
    1915 Luigi Embergher mandolin



    Desormes was a French romantic orchestra leader and composer -- Andy Boden has previously posted his piece "Serenade des mandolines" here. Michael Reichenbach has recorded the same piece here.
