Pour Alto Saxophone et Piano-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 JohannSebastian 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 Saxo­phone pieces in the world. Having enjoyed such success Éditions Leduc has decided to supplement its republication with an audio version that will enable saxo­phonists to carry out “full-scale” practice.

Composed by Jeanine Rueff Chanson Et Passepied for Saxophone is a piece for advanced players written in two parts. The first part “Chanson” (Song) is a lyrical part written in Andantino Tempo starting with a very simple yet beautiful melody and organised in the format of a Question/Answer. It is then followed by a second melody with the same organisation and by the first melody that is played by the piano. The second part “Passepied” which refers to a Baroque dance is composed in Allegretto and has an A/B/A structure. A is quite melodic while B is more like a Valse. Wonderfully composed verytechnical yet also lyrical this piece is really enjoyable and can be used for recital or contests. Jeanine Rueff composed numerous pieces for Saxophones often used in contests as well as many pieces for Saxhorn Clarinet Horn and Cornet.
