Jehan Alain (1911-1940) was a French organist and composer. His Aria for Organ was composed in 1938 and was superbly rearranged for Flute and Organ later that year by his brother Olivier Alain. Alain studied with Organ virtuosos Guilmant and Vierne and was primarily an organist and composer of religious music. Whilst at the Paris Conservatoire he won many prizes and his composition catalogue comprises some 140 works. Alain's Aria remains popular suitable for intermediate flautists. As a lively piece for Flute its Organ accompaniment as opposed to Piano accompaniment is unusual.Yet Alain's Aria is an exciting and varied piece for aspiring flautists.

Le mysticisme et la danse sacrée sont en parfaite harmonie dans cette oeuvre composée pour le 'Duo de Champagne, constitué de Thérèse Gérard à la flûte, et de Vincent Freppel à l'orgue. La méditation, dont la flûte expose le premier thème, emprunt de foi et d'espoir, puis le second (mesure 22) d'inspiration pastorale, est accompagnée, durant l'exposition, par l'orgue, dans une registration aigue, tournée vers les hauteurs célestes. / Flûte Et Orgue
