TOURS – Intermezzo – CELLO and PIANO

Other Identification:
Berthold Tours (b Rotterdam, 17th Dec 1838; d Hammersmith, London, 11th March 1897) was an English composer, organist and violinist of Dutch birth. He later studied at the conservatory in Brussels and, from 1857, at the conservatory in Leipzig. He lived in Russia from January 1859 to April 1861. Later in 1861 Tours emigrated to London, where he remained until his death (although retaining his Dutch citzenship). In London, he composed and taught, and played the violin, at first in the orchestra of the Adelphi Theatre. In 1872 he became an assistant musical adviser and editor at Novello, Ewer & Co., and in 1877 was appointed Novello’s chief musical editor.
A prolific composer, he wrote for the piano, the organ and other instruments, and composed a large number of songs, some of which, including ‘Forget-me-not’ (1868) and ‘L’alouette’ (1869), achieved great popularity. However, his services, anthems and hymn tunes for the Anglican church, including the Easter anthem God hath appointed a day (1878) and the Service in F (1887), are probably his best work.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
