's the man in the wind
and the west moon was
composed for Solo Harp in
2013, having been
commissioned by The Tanza
Trust. The piece takes
its title from a line in
a Dylan Thomas poem named
'And death shall have no
dominion'. The four
sections of the work see
shifting harmonies
throughout, with the
first section repeating
but also changing ever so
subtly. The unique thing
about the piece is that
each section is
dynamically different,
but is left open to
interpretation by the
player. The man in
the wind and the west
moon was
first performed on the
2nd of June 2014 at
Milton Court Concert Hall
in London by Alex Rider.
The piece lasts around
7minutes, and the bottom
C and D strings should be
tuned to C# and D#
respectively.

'This set
of miniatures is based on
traditional dance songs
of the Yupik Eskimo
people of Western Alaska.
In their original forms,
these melodies would be
sung in unison. The
first, third and fifth
songs would be
accompanied by frame
drums. The second and
fourth are game songs,
for jumping rope and
juggling pebbles. Aside
from the obvious
difference in
instrumentation, my
settings of these songs
differ from the Yup'ik
originals in other
respects. I have extended
and varied the melodies,
and added
countermelodies, ostinato
figurations,
introductions, interludes
and codas. The first four
melodies are drawn from
the collection Yup'ik
Eskimo songs, compiled by
Thomas F. Johnston, and
Tupou L. Pulu, and
published by the
University Of Alaska. The
fifth was 'loaned' to me
by Yup'ik singer and
dancer Chuna McIntyre,
who learned it in his
village of Eek, Alaska.
The poems preceding each
piece are rough
translations of the words
to the songs. These
verses are often cryptic
and enigmatic. Their
obscurity is increased
because some of the words
or their meanings have
been lost, over time.' -
John Luther Adams.

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.

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.

collection is included

Far
Across the Sea'
(Ymhell dros y
mor) is the
latest instrumental work
from a composer noted for
her original and
sensitive writing for
harp and harp
ensemble.
In
this gentle solo, what
sounds like a folksong -
and a very fine one - is
in fact a newly composed
tune, crafted with artful
simplicity. But as the
music journeys further
from its
characteristically Welsh
opening, teasing out new
suggestions from the
material, the sense of
nostalgia becomes
definitely more
contemporary than
traditional, though the
uplifting conclusion
restores the tone of
bardic rhetoric.
This work would be a
rewarding item for
players of intermediate
standard, and was
recommended for the under
18 category of the 2009
Wales International Harp
Festival.

French
harpist and composer,
Henriette Renié
(1875-1956) lived in
poverty for much of her
life. However, this did
not stop her from
composing significant
works for the harp,
including Grandmother
Tells a Story, an
easy piece for beginners
of the instrument.
Despite being a talented
composer, Renié
lived at a time where
fame and success was
socially unacceptable for
women. In 1940,
Grandmother Tells a
Story was published.
As a easy piece, this
Renié work is
suitable for beginners of
the instrument, including
detailed performance
directions and
fingerings. For all
beginner harpists,
Renié's
Grandmother Tells a
Story is an exciting
and varied addition to
the repertoire.

Pastoreles De

Jolivet is a piece
for Flute, Bassoon and
the Harp lasting nearly
13 minutes. This piece is
really gentle and
restrained which
demonstrates the quality
ofJolivet’
s work but also reflects
that period of WWII when
France was under
occupation. These scores
are of medium level of
ability.
Pastore

sections:L’é
toile (the Star), Les
Mages (the Wisemen), La
Vierge et l’Enfant
(the Virgin and the
Child) and Entrée
et Danse des Bergers (the
Shepherds’ dance).
Each of these parts
describes a part
oftheChristmas story,
starting with the Flute
and the Bassoon in a
duet, followed by the
entrance of the Harp to
settle the first part.
The second section is
quieter, expressing the
walk in the desert. The
Virgin and the Child
islike a lullaby and the
piece finishes on a
joyful dance to express
happiness and devotion.
André
Jolivet is a French
composer who was really
inspired by the
Antiquity, and had a
strong interest
foratonality. He also
wrote many chamber music
pieces, eleven concertos,
some orchestral and some
vocal music.

I
have always been fond of
writing works for
specific people or
organizations. It has
been my good fortune
during most of my
creative career to be
asked to compose for many
extraordinary performers.
The Sonata for
Harpsichord Solo is such
a case in point: it was
written in 1982 for
Barbara Harbach, a superb
performer, close friend,
and collaborator on many
musical projects. The
Sonata was premiered on
March 2, 1984, in a
recital given by Dr.
Harbach at Nazareth
College in Rochester, New
York. During my formative
years as a composer, one
seldom heard of the
harpsichord as a modern
instrument, though while
I attended undergraduate
school at Boston
University, some of us
banded together to
construct a small
harpsichord from one of
the first do-it-yourself
kits which began to
appear in the late '40s.
It was also during this
time that I heard the
Sonatina for Violin and
Harpsichord by my teacher
Walter Piston and
consequently specified
that the accompanying
instrument for my second
violin sonata could
either be a piano or a
harpsichord. It was not
until recently, however,
that my interest in the
harpsichord as a solo
instrument for new music
was aroused. This was
because of the emergence
of so many young
virtuosi, such as Barbara
Harbach, who are
interested in the
performance of new music
besides the great
harpsichord music of the
Classical, Baroque, and
pre-Baroque eras. The
keyboard music of
Domenico Scarlatti has
always intrigued and
fascinated me. The
brevity, excitement, and
clarity of this sparkling
music is charming as well
as exhilarating. It is
this type of Baroque
sonata that inspired the
conception and form of my
harpsichord sonata. The
entire work is loosely
based on the musical
translation of Barabara
Harbach's name,
especially the conflict
of the B (B-flat) and H
(B-natural in German
notation). This secondo
rub or dissonance
especially pervades the
first movement, which is
in a modified sonata
form, pitting jagged and
tense melodic elements
against most lyrical and
smooth lines. This second
movement is a song-like
melody accompanied by
rolled chords which may
be played on the lute
stop of the instrument if
this sonata is performed
on a two-manual
harpsichord. The final
movement is an
ever-driving joyous
toccata which brings the
work to an exciting close
with a coda made up of
accelerating repeated
chords. --Samuel
Adler.

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).
