Nicole's Aria was written for the daughter of the composer. The piece is modal, based on an aeolian scale, sometimes referred to as a natural or pure minor scale. The composer wrote in a minor mode trying to fill the void of minor-keyed songs for this age as most children's songs are in major keys. This is beautiful writing for a developing alto saxophone player with piano accompaniment.
