“Born
to an Italian father and
a French mother,
Eugène Bozza
(1905-1991) divided his
music studies between the
Academia Santa Cecilia in
Rome and the
Conservatoire de Paris,
where he was taught by
Henri Büsser and
Henri Rabaud. His chamber
music compositions reveal
a marked predilection for
wind instruments, as
reflected in Fantaisie
pastorale for oboe and
piano (1939) and
New-Orléans for
bass saxhorn and piano
(1944). During his stay a
few years earlier at the
Villa Medici in Rome
(1936), Bozza had written
his Aria Pour Saxophone
Alto Et Piano ' a free
adaptation of the third
movement of Johann
Sebastian Bach's Organ
Pastorale in F major BWV
590. This expansive and
nostalgic melody, which
unfolds over a regular
meter, has become one of
the most widely played
SaxoEphone pieces in the
world. Having enjoyed
such success,
Éditions Leduc has
decided to supplement its
republication with an
audio version that will
enable saxoEphonists to
carry out 'full-scale'
practice.&rdquo.
