" This composition was created for young musicians (mostly teenagers), and will be played as a pop song. Indeed, its texture (silky and polished) is related to the use of triplets and harmonic series built on the principle of 'verse / chorus'. Its tempo (close to the human body beat) and duration (3 minutes) will make it the hit of the summer! " - Alain LOPEZ |

" The purpose of this composition is to familiarize yourself with the unusual 5/4 metric, often associated to the famous jazz standard by Paul Desmond, Take Five. Rhythms and articulation are varied but without major difficulty. This piece is dedicated to the saxophonist "Michel Itier". " - Alain LOPEZ |

" A rythmic composition in which the cells "quaver / two semiquaver" and " two semiquaver / quaver " are like a leitmotiv until the end of the Piece. The numerous triplets are a wink of "Rhapsody in Blues" from George Gershwin. My goal was to facilitate the listening, the exchange and the mimicry betwenn the two associated players: no tandem ("Temps d'M") without that! " - 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 |

" 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 |

" a Jazz waltz (dedicated to my uncle who was so benevolent during my early stages!) that may remind Erik Satie's Gymnopédies or the famous "Bluesette" from Toots Thielemans " - Alain LOPEZ |

" Composed during the nineteenth century, this piece is one of the "standards" of Trombone repertoire. It is also often played in national and international competitions. Felix Alexandre Guilmant managed here at the same time to reveal many musical aspects of Trombone and to offer a great freedom of interpretation to the player. Enjoy! " - Olivier LACHURIE |
