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).

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

Pann's Emerald's on
Artemis reads: A music
box for Emerald Weber
(born 18 June, 2010) on
Morgan Black's harp
Artemis. The title of
this 2010 composition is
a bit cryptic, but
Artemis is the given name
of harpist Morgan Black's
instrument. The music is
both out-and-out tender
and exuberant, clearly
celebrating the birth of
Emerald, the first
daughter of one of Pann's
dear childhood friends.

Tauno
Marttinen (1912–2008)
studied in Viipuri and
later in Helsinki at the
Helsinki Conservatoire.
His piano teachers were
Ilmari Hannikainen and
Selim Palmgren, but he
soon became increasingly
interested in composing.
Marttinen was also the
conductor of the
Hämeenlinna City
Orchestra in 1949−1958
and the founder and
principal of the
Hämeenlinna Music
Institute.
Marttin
en started his composing
career in late Romantic
vein. However, his first
concerts in the 1940s met
with criticism since the
winds of Modernism had
already landed in
Finland. He then became
interested in Dodecaphony
and studied under
Vladimir Vogel in Ascona
but later abandoned
strict dodecaphony and
found his own, personal
style incorporating
elements from
Neo-classicism and
free-tonality with a hint
of mysticism – he was
called the Shaman of
Hämeenlinna (his
hometown).
Tauno
Marttinen was an
incredibly productive
composer; he wrote around
four hundred works with
opus numbers as well as a
wealth of other pieces.
His oeuvre includes 10
symphonies, concertos for
various solo instruments,
operas as well as vocal,
chamber and instrumental
works. Many of
Marttinen’s pieces have
become popular standard
repertoire, such as the
piano piece Kimalluksia
(Gleams).
