This song is a graceful and refi ned Mexican Danzon full of humor. The 'Danzón' is a rhythm of Cuban origin, but since the early 20th century it developed deep roots in Mexico and is also considered part of the popular culture of that country. The 'Danzón' was created by the Cuban composer Miguel Faílde (born ca. 1879), and it is derived from the European 'Contradanza' (see under Aniceto Rondón) which was infl uenced by African traditions and became known the Creole Cuban Dance or Habanera. It is a sen sual, expressive and syncopated dance. Usually accompanied by fl ute, timbales, guiro, claves and piano. Other dances, such as the the 'Cuban Son,' 'Chachachá' and 'Mambo' originated from the 'Danzón.'.

Bruce Tippette's setting of the Johnson poem is gentle and graceful, capturing the music-themed text. The piano accompaniment is supportive yet has an orchestral quality that moves with the dynamic vocal contrasts and melodic phrases. “No nights are dark, no days are long, while in my heart there dwells a song I softly sing.”.

“Having won many prizes at the Paris Conservatoire during the 1920s-1930s, Eugène Bozza went on to conduct the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and to become Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes. As a major figure on the classical music frontline, Bozza's compositions were well-received by audiences, Evening in the Mountains for Flute and Piano being no exception. This Bozza piece for Flute is characteristically French, with lyrical and graceful melodies, displays of the beautiful, lower register of the Flute and fast, flourishing semiquaver passages, accompanied by spread chords and staccato in the Piano. As music educationalist, Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza's compositions, ”“his works reveal melodic fluency, elegance of structure and a consistenly sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities.”“”.

This graceful arrangement elegantly weaves together four classic winter melodies: Waltz of the Snowflakes from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, Skater's Waltz by Émile Waldteufel, In the Bleak Midwinter by Gustav Holst, and Winter from The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. Scored in 3/4 time with a consistent tempo throughout, the piece allows every section of the orchestra to shine with melodic material.
