To
this day, Eugène
Bozza (1905-1991) remains
a prolific composer for
wind instruments, despite
being a violinist
himself. However, his
compositions for other
instrumentations have not
gone amiss, Evening
Star being no
exception. During his
studies at the Paris
Conservatoire, Bozza won
prizes for violin,
conducting and
composition, as well as
the Grand Prix de Rome.
He then conducted the
orchestra of the
Opéra-Comique and
became Head of the
Conservatoire in
Valenciennes, whilst
remaining a prominent
composer. Composed in
1946, Bozza's Evening
Star is based on a
poem of the same name by
Alfred de Musset, a
prominent poet during the
early 1800s. This choral
work is arranged for
female voices; Soprano,
Mezzo Soprano and
Contralto. Containing
much musical variation,
Bozza's Evening
Star is an exciting
addition to the choral
repertoire.
