Bien que le compositeur Thierry Pécou fait la plupart du temps sans expérimentales techniques de jeu, un son moderne émerge harpe exemplaire parmi les sons et les chuchotements des grappes d'accords massifs. Couleurs de tonalité associative sur le modèle du vert étincelant de cristalliser jade.Pécou composé 'Harpe de jade' pour le Concours International de Harpe de la Cité des Arts à Paris. L'oeuvre est dédiée à la renommée internationale Moretti harpiste Isabelle. 'Harpe de jade' est le premier ouvrage du jeune compositeur français publiée par Schott Music. / Harpe / 15 pages / Partition

Two solos in jazz idiom for pedal or non-pedal harp-Two solos in the jazz idiom for Pedal or Non-Pedal Harp by Stewart Green. Stewart Green began writing music for the Piano at an early age. Taking up the Viola and Oboe in his teens he later went to the University College of North Wales (Bangor) where he studied composition with among others William Matthias and Reginald Smith Brindle. Gaining a B. Mus. (hons) degree in 1960 he returned to his old school in Richester to teach class and instrumental music. Four years later he enlisted as oboist to the Band of HM Coldstream Guards which opened many doors including performances of his compositions and arrangements in many National venues on discand broadcast by the BBC on Radios 2 & 3. His years at Bangor had enabled him to fulfil a childhood dream of learning the Harp which he was later able to develop when he left the army and moved with his wife Sue and young family to Lowestoft as a peripatetic woodwind tutor for Suffolk County Music Service. His Flights Of Fancy and Blistering Along! appear on ABRSM and Trinity College Harp examination syllabuses while the Spartan Press publication Saxofun is on Suffolk's own exam syllabus. Since 1999 Stewart has been senior Woodwind Tutor for Suffolk and since 2002 Harp tutor as well! Stewart's recent publication She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain was written for the North Suffolk String Orchestra as was Haunted House. Spookily this received its first performance at Lowestoft accompanied by a July Thunderstorm!

très faciles pour la harpe-French born harpist and composer Marcel Grandjany (1891-1975) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before spending much of his working life in America. His Trois petites Pièces were composed in Grandjany's early career and are simple and enjoyable works suitable for beginner harpists. Grandjany was a teacher of Harp at the Julliard School for 37 years whilst also composing and transcribing many works for the instrument. Made up of three movements Trois petites Pièces begins with a delicate Rêverie (daydream). The second piece a Nocturne contains variations in tempo time signatureand dynamics. The Barcarolle third movement is the most challenging of the three pieces accommodating the key of G? major 6/8 time signature and semiquaver flourishes. All these combined aspects of Trois petites Pièces by Grandjany make for a thrilling performance for beginner harpists.
