Summary of This Score
A major composer of 20th-century French music, Eugène Bozza influenced several generations of musicians through writing that is both expressive, structured, and particularly attentive to the possibilities of each instrument. After winning numerous prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris in the 1920s-1930s, he pursued a career as a conductor, notably at the Opéra-Comique, before becoming director of the Conservatoire de Valenciennes.
Written in 1962, "New Orleans" is among his most appreciated works for low brass. Originally conceived for bass saxhorn, the score was adapted by Bozza himself for bass trombone and tuba to ensure the piece's lasting dissemination as the bass saxhorn became rarer. The piano is not merely a support: it dialogues with the solo part and provides rhythmic relief and harmonic color.
The influence of jazz, at the heart of New Orleans' identity, permeates the character of the work: singing phrasing, rhythmic energy, urban atmosphere, and expressive contrasts. This score is thus ideal for working on musicality, articulation, and style, while developing a solid sound presence in the low register. Highly appreciated by teachers and often selected for auditions, it is an essential choice for instrumentalists wishing to enrich their repertoire with a piece that is both brilliant and accessible.
