The rags in this collection are early compositions of David Lovrien, written when he was as young as 16 years old. Interlochen was written in 1980 and is dedicated to his girlfriend of that summer at the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan. It also owes a debt to another friend, Gregory Loselle, whose Broadway-musical-in-progress inspired the trio melody. Lewisville (1987) is subtitled A Slow Drag – referring to the specific ragtime dance style and probably not the character of the town of Lewisville, Texas where the composer lived when it was written. A Shy Smile (1979) was written after meeting a particularly cute french horn player in San Antonio, Texas during the TMEA All-State convention.

Following on the success of her two operatic works for children and teens ? Douce et Barbe Bleue, Les Fables Enchantees, Little Thummie and Cendrillon (based on Perrault), as well as the adaptation of Maupassant?s short story The Dumpling (2014) ? Isabelle Aboulker once again hits the bull?s eye with Myla and the Boat-Tree, a commission from the Villecroze Music Academy. In 2015, this musical tale for narrator, children?s choir and instrumental accompaniment, was awarded the ?Music for Young Performers Prize? by the French Music Publishers Association. Both in the French version and Marci Meth?s excellent English translation, it provides the material for an enthralling educational adventure in which children between the ages of five and eight are invited into their first experience of opera and choir singing. With her trademark finesse and sensitivity, the composer tells the story of a little girl dealing with the death of a person she?d cherished above all: her grandfather. Written for choir in unison, this tale wafts shimmering melodies over an instrumental accompaniment suffused in turn with gentle melancholy and light humour. An art that speaks from an open heart. The work was written in three versions:? for narrator, children?s choir and piano (AL 30 732)? for narrator, children?s choir and trio (clarinet in B b, cello and piano: AL 30 733)? for narrator, children?s choir and instrumental ensemble (flute, oboe, clarinet in B b, bassoon, horn, trumpet in C, trombone, percussion, 2 violins, alto, cello, bass: AL 30 734) Choral score: AL 30 743 .
