Eugène Joseph Bozza (4 April 1905 in Nice – 28 September 1991 in Valenciennes) was a French contemporary composer and violinist. He remains one of the most prolific composers of chamber music for wind instruments. Bozza’s large ensemble work includes five symphonies, operas, ballets, large choral work, wind band music, concertos, and much work for large brass or woodwind ensembles. His larger works are rarely performed outside his native France.
Bozza's wind instrument writing often demanded technical skill but without losing the expressive, melodic style of typical of the 20th century French music.
Trois Pieces for Trombone Quartet is a popular piece in the trombone quartet repertoire.
Here are audio excerpts from an excellent recording of the Bozza by John Grodrian.
