“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.”“”.

A regal celebration of a time-honored hymn is displayed in this festive arrangement! Classic brass motives define the introduction, raising the curtain on a joyful unison presentation of the well-known ELLACOMBE theme.

Driving to a climactic conclusion, the anthem explodes in a sensational sonic moment worthy of cathedral or concert hall.

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. The softly joyful key of D major with optional harp (playable by piano) and glockenspiel will add a moment of classical lightness to any winter or holiday concert.
