â??During
my career spanning half a
century, like all my
fellow harpists I
constantly had to grapple
with the commonly held
view that the harp has
neither music nor history
of its
own. Fortunately, over
the years I have been
able to give the lie to
this myth and have tried
to bring to light some of
the vast repertoire, both
early and modern,
expressly composed for
this instrument which has
been treated somewhat as
an outsider in the
musical world. The
research work for my
books on Italian and
Swiss harp music was
plain sailing because
source materials were
specific titles and title
pages. Were I to write
books on French, German,
Austrian, British,
Bohemian, Spanish,
Portuguese or
Scandinavian harp music,
the work involved would
be equally smooth and
straightforward. Howev
er, where Dutch music is
concerned, the approach
is rather different,
because here it is the
painters,
treatise-writers and
historians who provide
the evidence and guidance
necessary to discover the
musical customs and
traditions where the harp
played a significant
part. Performers
looking for pieces of
music may use this book
as follows: chapter II
deals with treatises,
chapter III with
paintings, chapter IV
with history and research
accounts. Chapters V and
VI are concerned with
confusions in
terminology. Chapter VII
describes recent
developments and chapters
VIII and IX cover
composers and pieces of
music. Libraries and
publishers are listed
with their addresses in
chapters X and XI, and
finally chapter XII
consists of the index
based on the various
groups of
performers. In this
last chapter harpists
will find the composers
most suited to their
programme, and can then
turn to chapters VIII and
IX for details. The
actual pieces can be
obtained by consulting
chapters X and XI. I wish
you every success in your
search, in your
rehearsals and in your
concerts ! In order to
define what is Dutch or
non-Dutch in early music,
I have followed the
current approach, i.e.
all art and history prior
to the separation of the
â??Seven ProvinÂces
in the 16th century is
the common heritage of
the Low Countries,
whereas everything
pertaining to those
courageous lands from
then onwards is
specifically Dutch..

Th
e history of the
Viggianesi, strolling
musicians, winds over a
period of about four
centuries and esprimeun
‘unicum’
musically and
anthropologically. Heirs
of a travelling musical
tradition that from the
late Middle Ages
inhabited more than just
the streets of the
Kingdom of Sicily and
Naples, the harpists of
this extraordinary story
made their first
appearances as early as
the end of the 1600s
engaged in musical
practices at
shrines. Armed with an
urgent need to make a
living together with a
strong musical
inclination, adaptability
and versatility, the
groups of musicians,
almost always belonging
to the same family
circle, became the
promoters of the great
Italian musical tradition
(Southern in particular),
and with their harps on
their shoulders they
became the identification
symbol of a well-defined
and limited area of
Italy: the Agri Valley,
in Basilicata. From
the many documents
examined, a very wide and
varied musical repertoire
emerges mixing the
pastoral tradition with
classical tradition
(mainly opera, devotional
music with songs from the
cities (from the
Neapolitan tradition to
international
production). The pastoral
repertoire, the subject
of this publication,
consists of a strongly
characterized native
repertoire which the
Viggianesi had
consolidated in both
public and private ritual
occasions in their native
land, even if performing
in distant
lands.

Comm
issioned by Carolyn
Mills, principal harpist
of the New Zealand
Symphony Orchestra, this
mysterious solo work
dwells somewhere between
consonance and
dissonance, evoking the
otherworldly quality of
the ancient. The work's
spacious, senza misura
opening gradually reveals
its scalar material,
coloured with harmonics,
before eventually
settling into an
undulating odd-metered
pattern. Musical elements
never remain static, with
incremental harmonic
changes taking place
alongside gentle tempo
fluctuations.
