A sweet miniature composed for solo piano in 1937, Mystic Flute consists of two voices: a simple melody in the harmonic minor scale balanced by an ostinato accompaniment in 7/8 meter that gives the work a hypnotic and ceremonial spirit. The melodic line begins in the top voice, before moving to the bass voice, and returning to the top voice with small ornamentation. No notes were removed from the piano score in this guitar arrangement by Aaron Larget-Caplan, and all dynamic and phrase markings follow the original score as well. This arrangement was premiered on July 29, 2018 at the Coaster Theater in Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Marc-André Hamelin's Suite à l'ancienne is, as the title might suggest, a Baroque-style suite in six movements, each with the unmistakable wit and virtuosity that characterizes Hamelin's compositions. Hamelin's Praémbule" takes J. S. Bach's "Chromatic Fantasy" as the jumping off point for a wild flight of fancy followed by, the deceptively amiable amble of the "Allemende", the moto perpetuo sprint of the "Corrente", the decadent embroidery of the "Air avec agréments", and the "Gavotte et Musette's" contrast between staccato strut and pedal-heavy pedal point, before concluding with a spectacular "Gigue". Rachel Naomi Kudo commissioned the Suite à l'ancienne, about 16 minutes duration, after impressing Hamelin with her performance of his "Toccata on L'homme armé" in the Van Cliburn International Competition. Funding the commission with her Gilmore Young Artist Award, Kudo suggested the idea of a work inspired by the music of J. S. Bach and went on to premiere the Suite in a performance streaming from Pordenone, Italy on February 21, 2021, presented by the Irving S. Gilmore International Piano Festival."
