Esprit rude/Esprit doux II was composed for the celebration of Pierre Boulez’s 70th birthday on March 30, 1995, in Chicago. The title, translated as “rough breathing/smooth breathing,” refers to the pronunciation of classical Greek words beginning with a vowel or a ρ. With esprit rude (rough breathing), the initial vowel is to be preceded by a sounded H, and is indicated by a reversed comma above the letter. With esprit doux (smooth breathing), the initial vowel is not to be preceded by H and is indicated by a comma above the vowel. In Greek for seventieth year (transliterated as hebdomekoston etos), the initial epsilon of the first word has a rough breathing sigh while the epsilon of the second has a smooth one. – Elliott Carter

Akira Yuyama's Divertimento for Marimba and Alto Saxophone was composed in 1968 at the request of renowned Japanese marimbist Keiko Abe for one of her recitals. Inspired by Abe's artistry, Yuyama paired the marimba with the alto saxophone, creating a colorful dialogue that highlights the unique character of both instruments. Written in a rondo with variation form, the work combines virtuosity with a lighthearted, entertaining spirit, true to the meaning of "divertimento."
