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).

French born
harpist and composer,
Marcel Grandjany
(1891-1975) studied at
the Paris Conservatoire
before spending much of
his working life in
America. His Trois
petites Pièces
were composed in
Grandjany's early career
and are simple and
enjoyable works, suitable
for beginner harpists.
Grandjany was a teacher
of harp at the Julliard
School for 37 years
whilst also composing and
transcribing many works
for the instrument. Made
up of three movements,
Trois petites
Pièces begins with
a delicate Rêverie
(daydream). The second
piece, a Nocturne,
contains variations in
tempo, time signature and
dynamics. The Barcarolle
third movement is the
most challenging of the
three pieces, in 6/8 time
signature and
sixteenth-note
flourishes. All these
combined aspects of
Trois petites
Pièces by
Grandjany make for a
thrilling performance for
beginner harpists.

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.

Say
Something is an original
song by the American duo
A Great Big World. The
lyrics are about letting
go when a relationship
ends. It became an
international hit when
Christina Aguilera joined
A Great Big World on a
re-recorded version in
2013. Sylvia Woods has
made a 4-page advanced
beginner to intermediate
arrangement, playable on
either lever or pedal
harp. This music features
a pedal point (also
called a pedal note or
pedal tone), which is a
sustained or continually
repeated note that is
held constant while
harmonies change in other
parts. A pedal point is
usually found in the
bass, but here it is in
the middle register.
Virtually every measure
includes a middle C note
on the downbeat.
Sometimes it is played
with the right hand, and
at other times with the
left. But it is almost
always there. This pedal
point harmony is what
originally drew me into
this beautiful piece of
music the first time I
heard it on the radio.
The music is in the key
of C, and no sharping
levers are required, as
there are no lever
changes. Fingerings,
lyrics and chord symbols
are included. The harp
range required is 24
strings from a low C up
to an E. It can be played
on 24-string to 26-string
harps with a C as the
lowest string if you play
both hands an octave
higher than written.
