Theme
and Variations by
Marcel Tournier is a
piece for advanced harp
players. Starting with a
main theme of arpeggiated
chords, the piece then
follows with a number of
variations, including
chords, arpeggios,
glissandos, and numerous
nuances and speed
variations. The piece
starts in Allegro
moderato, then evolving
to Allegretto, Allegretto
Scherzando, sometimes
more energetic or
quieter. This piece is
great to master speed,
flexibility and agility
as well as the different
types of nuances. Marcel
Tournier (1879-1951) was
a French harpist and
teacher. He studied with
Alphonse Hasselmans at
the Paris Conservatoire
and composed numerous
pieces for solo harp:
Russian Lullabies,
Six Christmas,
Four Preludes and
Three Images, Suite 1,
Op. 29, among many
others.

Melodia
for Solo Harp/ Alleluja
Modo II - Wachet auf for
Harp and
Organ
This
publication gathers
together in these three
pieces the only
compositions by Santucci
devoted to the harp, both
as a solo instrument and
in dialogue with the
organ, his favourite
instrument. The little
Melodia per arpa,
a simple piece having an
apparently didactic
purpose, does not show
the date of composition
but, judging by the
handwriting of the
manuscript, it probably
dates back to the period
between 1980 and 1990. No
other information has
reached us as to why the
piece was
composed. The two
pieces Alleluja Modo
II and Wachet
auf, both dated 20
March 1993, composed for
the unusual duo of harp
and organ, are dedicated
to Anna Maria Restani,
first harp in the
orchestra of the Teatro
Comunale of Bologna from
1965 to 2002, and to her
son Wladimir Matesic,
organist and now teacher
at the Conservatoire in
Trieste. Gregorian chant
is the protagonist of the
first piece, evoking a
Gothic and rarefied
atmosphere. The second is
instead a blatant tribute
to Johann Sebastian Bach
(right from the first
bars the reference to
Prelude no. 1 of the
Well-Tempered
Clavier is clear),
through one of his most
famous chorales
(Wachet auf, ruft uns
die stimme), also
used by Santucci for
numerous other
compositions, including
Il corteo dei Magi
[for trumpet, organ,
orchestra and choir,
1986, ms.], still
performed in the
Christmas concerts in
Bologna. (Giuseppe
Monari).
