French harpist composer and teacher Marcel Tournier (1879-1951) wrote important solo repertoire for the Harp which expanded the harmonic and technical possibilities of the instrument. His Étude De Concert Au Matin is no exception. Composed in 1940 Étude De Concert Au Matin remains regularly performed and recorded by harpists. The piece is marked allegro and is in compound meter. Tonality and rhythm are sublimely exploited and there is much use of extended technique. Tournier's Étude De Concert Au Matin is suitable to all advanced harpists seeking to explore variedrepertoire on the instrument.

The years between 1900 and 1925 in Paris were some of the most fruitful in the history of harp repertoire. Debussy?s ?Danses sacree et profane? and his ?Sonate pour flute, alto, et harpe,? Caplet?s ?Masque of the Red Death? and his ?Two Divertissements,? Gabriel Pierne?s ?Concertstucke? and ?Impromptu caprice,? and Ravel?s ?Introduction et Allegro? were among the many important compositions written during this period. Many harpists would give pride of place in this list, however, to Gabriel Faure?s ?Impromptu? and ?Une chatelaine en sa tour.?? now published here in one volume for the first time. These are both essentials for every serious student of the harp.

Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937) was a French composer conductor and organist. Despite being predominantly remembered as a conductor his Impromptu-Caprice remains a popular performance piece in the advanced harpists' repertoire. Pierné studied at the Paris Conservatoire before taking up the position of chief conductor for the concert series Concerts Colonne in 1910. He remained in the post until 1933 and during this time he notably conducted the world premiere of Igor Stravinsky's 'The Firebird'. Pierné composed for a variety of instruments Impromptu-Caprice being one of four solo worksby the composer. This Pierné piece for Harp contains many characteristics typical of the French style such as significant tempo changes flourishes of semiquavers and many alterations in dynamics. Impromptu-Caprice is a varied piece essential to the repertoire of aspiring harpists.

Simon Holt's the man in the wind and the west moon was composed for Solo Harp in 2013 having been commissioned by The Tanza Trust. The piece takes its title from a line in a DylanThomas poem named 'And death shall have no dominion'. The four sections of the work see shifting harmonies throughout with the first section repeating but also changing ever so subtly. The unique thing about the piece is thateach section is dynamically different but is left open to interpretation by the player.  The man in the wind and the west moon was first performed on the2nd of June 2014 at Milton Court Concert Hall in London by Alex Rider. The piece lasts around 7 minutes and the bottom C and D strings should be tuned to C# and D# respectively.

Par CAVANNA BERNARD. Ces pièces sont à considérer comme des regards ou des impressions croisés : celui de l'enfant sur le monde ou celui de l'adulte sur l'enfant.Dans un style simple, dépouillé, ces pièces, quasi primitives, évoquent tantôt des portraits d'enfant tantôt de naïves émotions.Les Cinq pièces pour harpe portent ainsi les noms de : Anja, Sanza, Barbare, Sidonie, Novembre.Elles ont été données par la harpiste suisse Xénia Schindler, dans un premier temps sous la forme radiophonique des Alla breve (France Musiques, mars 2001), puis dans leur intégralité en concert au Festival Musica en septembre 2001./ Répertoire / Harpe
