Jehan Alain (1911-1940) was a French organist and composer. His Aria for Organ was composed in 1938 and was superbly rearranged for Flute and Organ later that year by his brother, Olivier Alain. Alain studied with Organ virtuosos, Guilmant and Vierne and was primarily an organist and composer of religious music. Whilst at the Paris Conservatoire, he won many prizes and his composition catalogue comprises some 140 works. Alain's Aria remains popular, suitable for intermediate flautists. As a lively piece for Flute, its Organ accompaniment, as opposed to Piano accompaniment is unusual. Yet, Alain's Aria is an exciting and varied piece for aspiring flautists..

Composer and conductor Eugene Bozza (1905-1991) was a pupil of Henri Busser and Henri Rabaud at the Conservatoire de Paris, and received the first Prix de Rome in 1934. It was during his stay the Villa Medici that he wrote his Aria Pour Saxophone Alto Et Piano ? an adaptation of the third movement of Johan Sebastian Bach?s Organ Pastorale in F Major BWV 590, which was to tour the world. This nostalgia-imbued melody, which expands over a regular meter, has, in turn, been the subject of numerous transcriptions, first for clarinet, then for Violin (or Flute) and Piano. Editions Leduc have chosen to republish this last version, with the added bonus of an audio version that should be of valuable assistance to all musicians!.

Chen Yi describes the cheery interplay of HAPPY TUNE as one instrument playing a lively melody, while the other plays a vivid rhythmic pattern as accompaniment. The pair of instruments imitates primitive Chinese folk song singing, as well as the traditional wind instrument sheng, a mouth pipe organ. One of the composer’s favorite themes to develop for different textures, HAPPY TUNE is a variant from Chen Yi’s Three Bagatelles from China West, both versions appearing in several scorings.Composed to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival, HAPPY TUNE was originally written as a violin/viola duet for Kim Kashkashian and Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, and premiered at the festival on June 16, 2018. The flute/cello adaptation was created in 2021.I fondly remember being invited by the GLCMF (directed by Prof. James Tocco) to be the dual Stone Composers-in-Residence with my husband Zhou Long, along with the Stone Composer Fellow Nicholas Omiccioli in 2011. We had a dozen of our chamber works performed excellently by the outstanding chamber ensembles and musicians during the week, meeting enthusiastic audiences and supporters of new music in various venues at the festival. The experience was truly inspiring, and I created HAPPY TUNE to honor the GLCMF, with hopes to carry on the high spirit in our new music society.In this duet, when one instrument plays a lively melody, the other plays a vivid rhythmic pattern in the accompaniment. The pair of string instruments imitates the sound of primitive Chinese folk song singing, as well as the Chinese traditional wind instrument sheng, a mouth pipe organ.
