" This Piece can be play as is or by a clarinet orchestra, with several musicians per part, such that all the entire class can play together. Please note that the Clarinet 4 part can be played by a bass clarinet instead. The second movement of that Piece is well suited for an optional improvisation with wood spoon from Canada. Enjoy! " - Jean-Michel MAURY

A Piece with an outstanding energy. Listen, you'll love it!

" Blues des bacs à sable allows young players to play as the "big ones": a constant harmonic formula, a slow tempo and of course... choruses! " - Alain LOPEZ

" As the light whose reflection in the water is sometimes broken by the waves, I used ascending and descending movement in the melody. The pervasive use of syncopation also enabled me to exacerbate the impact felt by the ebb and flow. " - Alain LOPEZ

" Composition directly inspired by Glenn Miller composition. Its theme is exposed 3 times differently, in an "exotic mood". " - Alain LOPEZ

" A romantic composition dedicated to my Director Jacques Andrieu and to his husband Danièle (pianist). The seventh intervals (range rarely used), major, minor or diminished allowed me to create a tender and touching melody. " - Alain LOPEZ

" When one starts learning music, rhythmn can become rapidely a showstopper. I wanted to demonstrate in this quartet that once the arcane secrets of rhythm are understood, music becomes a real pleasure. " - Alain LOPEZ

" The title of this Piece is a pun on Cubans rhythms. The opposition between the tone and used homonymous tone, as well as the rhythmic formula chosen on theme "B" are a typical feature of South America music. Concerning the melody, it is a stylistics composition on quarter note triplets! " - Alain LOPEZ
