Suite in Three
Movements (2021) for
harpsichord was
commissioned by Scott
Hyslop. The three
movements take their
inspiration and forms
from early models. They
combine allusions to
common practice harmony
with later harmonic and
rhythmic elements. The
first movement, Concerto,
is in a bright,
Italianate manner (not
without a bit of humor).
The animating contrast is
between ripieno
(ritornello) sections and
filigree-driven solo
episodes. The second
movement, Arioso, is a
lyric aria in which the
baroque-like principal
material is integrated
with more varied harmonic
excursions. The third
movement, Sonata, is a
vibrant binary movement
in the manner of Domenico
Scarlatti.Harpsichord

Eric
Ewazen’s THREE
INVENTIONS were inspired
by Bach’s Two-part
Inventions, yet they
sound thoroughly like
Ewazen. Composed for
harpsichord (with a piano
adaptation following
later), Ewazen’s
inventions maintain a
pure “one note per
hand†texture until
their final chord, with
strong-but-free imitative
counterpoint between the
two voices. While Ewazen
may be best known for his
wind music, he is a
pianist himself, and
composers’ works
for their own instrument
are a direct insight into
how they write for their
own performances. The
piano adaptation of THREE
INVENTIONS is also
available as a separate
publication. THREE
INVENTIONS was written
for my dear friend Maria
Rojas, who premiered the
work on a faculty recital
at Juilliard. Maria is
both a pianist and a
harpsichordist, and I
first met her when she
gave a demonstration of
the harpsichord for the
students in my theory
classes.I’ve
always been captivated by
Bach’s series of
Two-Part and Three-Part
Inventions. With the
Two-Part Inventions,
I’m amazed how
Bach could create such
wonderful intricacy and
counterpoint with only
two voices. I
consequently modeled my
inventions after the
counterpoint of Bach,
involving the traditional
contrapuntal devices he
used: imitation,
development, harmonic and
modal shifts,
fragmentation, and
sequence, essentially
creating a dialog between
two completely equal
voices conversing with
each other!Bach wrote 15
Two-Part Inventions (as
well as 15 Three-Part
Inventions, not to
mention the 48 preludes
and fugues in The
Well-Tempered Clavier!),
and that’s just
the start of his
voluminous repertoire for
the keyboard! I was happy
just to write
three!!!Each of my
inventions has a
distinctive mood. The
first is in a relaxed,
yet cheerful C Major
tonality (as a nod to
Bach’s Invention
No. 1 in C Major); the
second is heartfelt and
lyrical; and the third
invention (involving a
Gigue rhythm in the
compound meter of 12/8)
is energetic, and full of
life and spontaneity. The
third is primarily in a
minor tonality, resulting
in a feeling of drama,
bringing the THREE
INVENTIONS to an exciting
finale.

A
Harpsichord is a musical
instrument played by
means of a keyboard. It
produces sound by
plucking a string when a
key is pressed. The
instrument was widely
used in Renaissance and
Baroque music. During the
late 18th century,it
gradually disappeared
from the musical scene
with the rise of the
Piano. In the 20th
century, it made a
resurgence, being used in
historically informed
performances of older
music, in new
(contemporary)
compositions, and
inpopular
culture.
This piece
is perfect for anyone who
wants to discover this
unique instrument.

Johannes

Schneidt (fingering) Two
copies needed for
performance It is almost
impossible to tell from
listening to them that
Bach's extremely popular
concerti for harpsichord
were probably his own
transcriptions of solo
concerti which had
originally been composed
for violin or a woodwind
instrument. The outer
movements of the second
concerto, in E major,
probably written around
1738, sparkle with joy,
while the expressive
melodic lines of the
middle movement, the
Siciliano in C-sharp
minor, transport the
listener to the realm of
his Passion music. G.
Henle Publishers presents
this repertoire standard
in an Urtext edition with
an extensive commentary.
The study edition (HN
7381) features the
complete orchestral
score; the piano
reduction (HN 1381)
contains the solo part as
well as a very playable
piano reduction of the
score prepared by
Johannes Umbreit for
practical use.

The
five short movements for
solo cembalo are brief,
personal prayers that
depict how the subject
manages a range of
feelings and emotions.
The miniatures each
represent a different
emotional state:
reflection, searching,
meditation, agitation,
and resolution. Each is a
small-scale
representation of a
grand, wide-ranging
prayer of
supplication. As a
composer, performer, and
researcher of early
music, writing for
cembalo allows me not
only to express my
special connection to the
instrument and the period
in which it flourished,
but also to present its
contemporary dimensions
as a rich and versatile
instrument. The
piece was composed at the
request of Hagai Yodan,
who performs it with
great skill. Daniel
Akiva is a composer,
performer, and educator
whose performances on
guitar and lute have won
great acclaim. Mr. Akiva
graduated from the Rubin
Academy of Music in
Jerusalem in 1981, where
he studied classical
guitar with Haim Asulin
and composition with Haim
Alexander. In 1987 he
completed his studies at
the Geneva Conservatorium
in Switzerland where he
studied lute with
Jonathon Rubin and
composition with Jean
Ballisa. For many years,
he headed the Music
Department at the WIZO
High School for the Arts
in Haifa, which he
founded in 1986, and
served as the Artistic
Director of the Guitar
Gems Festival from
2006-2019. As part of his
work at WIZO High School,
he has developed a method
for teaching free
improvisation that has
been incorporated into
the music program at the
school. Mr. Akiva has
appeared in concert as a
guitarist and lutist and
given master classes in
Israel, Europe, Russia,
the United States, and
Latin America. Daniel
Akiva’s
compositional output
includes works for solo
instruments, chamber
ensembles, choir, voice
and guitar, piano, and
chamber orchestra. His
works have been recorded
on twelve CDs, the latest
of which, Malchut, was
issued by OR-TAV in
2014. A native of
Haifa whose family has
lived in Israel for over
five hundred years, he
was steeped in the
Sephardic
(Jewish-Spanish)
tradition from his youth.
Much of his compositional
output has been devoted
to a dialogue with the
music of the Sephardic
Jews. Daniel Akiva has
also maintained a
creative dialogue over
many years with the poets
and writers Amnon
Shamash, Rivka Miriam,
and Avner Peretz.

French.
The
third volume of
Couperin's Pieces for
Harpsichord does not
contain a date of
publication, however it
is thought to have been
composed during
1716-1717, due to the
address which the
composer gave on his
other
Harpsichordcompositions.
Yet, the compilation
remains a favourite.
François Couperin
(1668-1733) is often
nicknamed 'Couperin the
Great' to distinguish him
from other members of the
musical family. Many of
the composer's works
havepicturesque titles.
Examples of this in his
third volume of Pieces
for Harpsichord include,
La Langueur (Languor), Le
Petit-Rien (The
Little-Nothing) and
L'Artiste (The Artist).
Couperin's moods are
expressed through choices
ofkeys, adventurous
harmonies and discords.
With a significant amount
of variation and
inspiration, these Pieces
for Harpsichord are
essential to the
repertoire of aspiring
players of the
instrument.
