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..

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
harps, Op. 26' among many
others..

Set
for the Trinity
examinations, Grade 3,
Skylark is an
atmospheric musical
impression for pedal or
non-pedal harp of the
view from the composer's
home, overlooking the
farmland and broad aerial
vistas of Norfolk.
Contrasting textures of
open arpeggios and
accompanied melody convey
the various stages of the
bird's flight, and its
singing from on high,
rising to the climax of
its song on a musical
'thermal' of sustained,
arpeggiated chords before
a descent to rest in
pastureland.
Contemplative, even
quietly ecstatic in mood,
Skylark will prove an
effective element in
balanced
programme-building,
whether as required by
the Trinity syllabus, or
as engaging repertoire
for young players.

harpist, Rosetty. Various
different styles and

focus on the rhythms and
syncopation of each
style. An accompanying CD

demonstration tracks with
the full harp solo to

should sound, and a
version with
accompaniment only for
performance and

Whizzing,
growling and rattling
– you can produce
all kinds of sounds with
the harp, not just the
fairy-tale shimmer and
glissandos that you first
think of. Lotta
Wennäkoski composed
Sigla for harp and
orchestra (2021-2022) in
close collaboration with
the harpist Sivan Magen,
to whom the concerto is
dedicated. The title of
the concerto, Sigla, has
different meanings in
different languages. In
Italian, it means a
jingle; in Icelandic, it
means sailing; and in
Tagalog, spoken in the
Philippines, it means
vivaciousness or
enthusiasm. Wennäkoski
has not specifically
referenced these in the
movements of the concerto
as such, but she does
allow that the various
meanings of the word may
be identified with the
music according to the
listener’s
perception.
The
recording of the work
(Ondine ODE1420-2) was
premiered with the
Gramophone award as the
the best release in the
contemporary category in
October 2023.
This
product is the solo
part.
The
orchestral material is
available for hire from
the
publisher.
