This is a Concerto for trio d'anches and string orchestra (with harp or piano). There is no piano reduction available. The parts for string orchestra are available on a for-hire basis from the publisher. This set includes parts for oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, as well as one study score.

Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured into musical studies by his parents, he dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother in to his compositions.
