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!

for Harp. Par VAJDA GERGELY. 'Come un meccanismo di precisione' (like a precision machine) - as György Ligeti wrote above one of his works. The two harp pieces by Gergely Vajda (*1973) also approach the instrument as a machine, moreover, as a machine that can produce several sounds and noises and create a specific polyphony from them. The two movements, composed in 2020 and 2022, are dedicated to the Ars Nova Ensemble and Collegium21, respectively. / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Répertoire / Harpe

Par PUJOL MAXIMO DIEGO. Suite Mágica arranged for harp and guitar. All four movements - Preludio, Vals, Tango and Candombe - take their cues from Argentine dance forms and are presented in a well-balanced and conversational style for the two instruments. Simple in structure and romantic in spirit, the movements alternate gracefully between interwoven dance material and heart-meltingly beautiful interludes that pay homage to the Pujol's first love: the guitar. In the composer's words, 'The origin of the title, 'Magic Suite,' comes from the third section guitar solo of the Candombe, which was written in a few minutes. It was a magic moment for me and I wrote the rest of the piece using material from those eighteen bars.'/ Répertoire / Guitare et Harpe
