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.

Rediscoveri
ng, studying and
analyzing the musical art
of Philipp Joseph Hinner
means enhancing a piece
of the eighteenth-century
harp music mosaic.
Hinner's work intrigues
for its extraordinary
simplicity, for its
regularity and harmony;
the ordered balance of
the parts, symmetry and
sense of proportion are
essential elements for
the author, and give
character and unity to
his work. The harp
repertoire has long been
overshadowed by the
keyboard one, which
boasts extensive solo and
chamber literature, and
consolidated for over two
centuries. The
rediscovery of the
history of our
instrument, however, is
still recent and the
research work in the
field of harp music is
still long. Hinner,
with the apparent
simplicity of his opus
10, can thus regain his
role in the harp
repertoire of the
eighteenth century, as
well as covering a
considerable didactic
value today. The part of
the first harp
undoubtedly presents
characteristics of
greater rhythmic and
virtuosic complexity than
that of the second, which
consists of a continuous
accompaniment
interspersed with simple
thematic imitated
episodes. Furthermore in
the composition are
included arias such as
O ma tendre
Musette, a French
popular melody of the
18th century (previously
set to music by
Pierre-Alexandre
Monsigny), and <>, taken from
the opera-comique
L'erreur d'un moment
ou la Suite de Julie
by Nicolas Dezede, as
well as themes from
Gluck's Iphigenie en
Aulide, which had
been all used also by
Hinner's first harp
master, Francesco Petrini
(1744-1819). Hinner's
opus 10, originally
written in separate parts
for two harps, or harp
and fortepiano, is
presented here updated
and completed with its
score, for a thorough
perception of the
work.

The
composer tells about the
three-movement work: The
concerto is in three
movements. After the
orchestral introduction,
the harp leads into a
gradually thickening
texture that progresses
into a series of powerful
culminations. Once these
subside, the expansive
motifs of the
introduction return. The
solo is echoed by two
harps in the orchestra: I
wanted the magnificent
sound to be multiplied.
The simple melody in the
second movement is
coloured in a very
archaic way by the
orchestra; we might
imagine the performance
of a troubadour or a bard
in ancient times. The
finale is festive,
'solenne'. It presents
the combined sonority of
the three harps at its
most colourful and
melodic.

Eino
juhani Rautavaara (9.

internationally one of
the best known and most
frequently performed
Finnish composers. He was
by nature a romantic,
even a mystic, as is
often apparent from the
titles of his works: for
example Angels and
Visitations for orchestra
or his double-bass
concerto Angel of Dusk.
Despite Rautavaara�s
label of mysticism he was
a complex and
contradictory figure
whose works cannot be
categorized in stylistic
terms.

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..

Martin-Pier
re Dalvimare, born in
1770, in Dreux
(Eure-et-Loir), from a
distinguished family,
learnt music as an
entertainment art, and
was obliged to make it a
resource for his
existence, after the
troubles of the
Revolution in 1789. He
had acquired a remarkable
talent for the harp; when
he arrived in Paris he
made a very good
impression. Then, man of
the world, knowledgeable
in many fields, which is
rare for a musician, he
was welcome everywhere,
and very soon came in
friendly terms with some
of the most renowned
artists and men of
letters of his times. The
marriage certificate of
the poet Legouve (15
pluviose of the year XI,
or February 1803, 12th
municipality of Paris),
shows that Dalvimare was
one of his best men and
that at the time he was
thirty-two years old. He
became harpist of the
Opera in the year VIII
(1800), and was
definitively confirmed in
the month of fructidor of
the year IX. At the time
of the institution of the
emperor Napoleon's
private music, M.
Dalvimare was appointed
as his harpist. In
September 1807 he
obtained the title of
harp master of the
empress Josephine. A
lucky change of his
fortune allowed this
artist to renounce to
practise his talent for
living, he resigned from
all of his positions on
March, 12th, 1812, and he
retired in Dreux, where
he still was living in
1837. For a peculiar
weakness, he does not
like to speak about his
artist career, which had
been entirely honourable,
and he would like to
forget his success too.
His first composition was
a symphonie concertant
for harp and horn, which
he composed with Frederic
Duvernoy, and published
in the year VII (1798);
notwithstanding, he
counted as his first opus
a collection of romances
with accompaniment of
piano or harp, which he
later published with
Pleyel.
In 1809
Dalvimare composed, for
the theatre Feydeau, a
one-act opera-comique
called The Marriage for
Imprudence. The music was
weak; the work did not
succeed, and people used
to say that the greatest
imprudence had been the
one of the authors who
had it performed.
Nevertheless, the score
of this opera was
published in Paris by
erard. (Francois-Joseph
Fetis).

Written by
Francois Joseph Naderman
(1781-1835), Sonatinas
Progressive, Op. 92
consists of a series of
seven small sonatas. The
level of difficulty
alternates between
intermediate and advanced
as these can be played at
different speeds but
necessitates some strong
technique as well as some
pedal changes. These
Sonatinas Progressive,
Op. 92 are still
considered as some of the
most famous pieces of the
harp repertoire today.
Francois Joseph Naderman
was a classical harpist,
composer and teacher at
the Paris Conservatoire.
His vocation was
developed by growing up
as the son of a Luthier
harp maker. He also wrote
Sonatas for harp, harp
and cello, studies and
other pieces.

Posseâ€
s compositions for harp
are rich and varied, and
range from the easy
pieces dedicated to his
students to the virtuoso
concert pieces; we must
also remember his
didactic works, in
particular the ‘Six
Small Studies’ and
the universally known
‘Eight Great
Concert
Studies’. It is
not easy to draw a
balance of his legacy in
the harp world. On one
hand his technical vision
of virtuosity combined
with a great stability of
the hand and rigor of the
fingerings certainly
contributed to the
development of the 20th
Century harp technique;
on the other hand, his
use of the pedals, often
driven by two together
with the same foot (a
very old French
technique), has gradually
become more and more
difficult on modern
harps. From the point of
view of his contribution
to the harp repertoire,
the constant run-up to
the piano has heavily
influenced his
compositional production,
making him often
completely miss the
idiomatic effects of 19th
Century harp music
(except for the use of
harmonic sounds), which
were so loved by his
friend Liszt in the
compositions of Parish
Alvars.

Written by
Marcel Grandjany on a
tune of Haydn, Fantasy is
a piece for Harp that
includes 5 variations of
the main theme. Ideally
to be played on pedal
Harp, it would fit the
skills and abilities of
advanced Harp players.
The technical
difficulties encountered
are various as this piece
involves some
hand-crossings,
arpeggios, natural
harmonies, accidental
alterations as well as
some pedal changes.
Marcel Grandjany is a
French-born American who
lived in the 20th
century. He studied with
Alphonse Hasselmans at
the Paris Conservatoire
from the age of 11 and
got the First Prize at 13
years old. He composed
numerous pieces for Harp,
of all levels: '3 Very
Easy Little Pieces, Op.
7', 'Divertissement, Op.
29', 'Variation on the
Londonderry Air, Op. 20'
and 'Two Duets for 2

others..
