PASTORALE is both a departure and a return for Tingstad and Rumbel; a departure from more elaborate and experimental ensemble work and a return to the simplicity of guitar and woodwinds and the tradition of Scot-Irish pastoral forms. Though based in an ancient musical tradition,
the 11 tunes are original compositions, so the spirit of the old shepherd ballads is evoked and blended with a more modern sensibility.
