The Program music Cansoun per ma mio (Song for my love) illustrated a picture of countryside simplicity. A pianist started with a group of minor third intervals phrase at different range. Tenderly, a saxophone arrived after an introduction by the piano, it soloed gently to calmed audiences mind down. When piano appeared again accompanied saxophone, it coupled with a disjunct melody and conveyed a sweet intimacy. This made audiences fantasize a romantic countryside story that happened in Provence. Time seemed to be slowed down, it was so relaxing that the elderly couple sat in front of me closed their eyes, and a man folded his hand on his lap. At this moment, audiences were touched by the soft music. The simplistic of the music generated people’s long for slow life in a quiet country. When piano kept doing few coherent high-pitched chord it was like imitating the water in the light stream. The saxophone created a turning point by a group of falling notes. A thin and homophony texture is provided by saxophone, which soloed a melody accompanied with Piano. I noticed the song has an ABA’ form because at the end the melody went back to its beginning with small modifications, and brought peaceful feelings as before.
This form made audiences feel familiar to the story because the repeated parts told us that song is coming to the end. The story of a tender and poetic pastoral life accompanied with a reminiscent of the past has ended. The next song La Bohémienne (The Bohemia Girl) , had a charming and playful tune. After a comparison with a peaceful song like Cansoun per ma mio, the moods of audiences uplifted by this dance music is magnified. The enthusiasm of this exotic dance is contrasted with simplicity of country life of the previous song due to its relaxing atmosphere and exciting rhythm. In contrast to the last one, variety range made this song sound thicker, with much more density, and it also has homophony texture.

This song opened with repeating dense piano chords, which set the tone of wildness and fervency. Then the saxophone introduced a conjunct melody and repeated at high pitches. The musicians made eye contact with each other, creating a dialogue with each other. At one moment, pianist soloed a tight melody, which was repeated at a lower pitch in the saxophone solo. The song introduced an consequence sequence. A same melody was performed by two instrument alternately, an ask-and-answer structure is presented to audiences. I was fond of it because the gypsy girl’s temperament is illustrated by the strongly emphasized rhythm, and also piano was more likely to be a protagonist than a supporting role. When musician playing conversational melodies, the tacit cooperation between musicians developed ardent atmosphere.

The La Bohémienne expressed a AAB form with an impressive ending. Saxophone soloed a magnificent rising melody suddenly after the pause of piano. It gave me an image of a lively gypsy girl wearing a bright bohemia dress dancing. However, the story has not ended yet, and the girl was ready to start a new journey.
