The
inscription above Carter
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.

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.

Written by Anthony
Bolton, best known as one

Lanterns which evokes a

Written by
Marcel Grandjany on a
tune of Haydn, Fantasy is
a piece for Harp that
includes 5 variations of
the main theme. Ideally
to be played on pedal
Harp, it would fit the
skills and abilities of
advanced Harp players.
The technical
difficulties encountered
are various as this piece
involves some
hand-crossings,
arpeggios, natural
harmonies, accidental
alterations as well as
some pedal changes.
Marcel Grandjany is a
French-born American who
lived in the 20th
century. He studied with
Alphonse Hasselmans at
the Paris Conservatoire
from the age of 11 and
got the First Prize at 13
years old. He composed
numerous pieces for Harp,
of all levels: '3 Very
Easy Little Pieces, Op.
7', 'Divertissement, Op.
29', 'Variation on the
Londonderry Air, Op. 20'
and 'Two Duets for 2

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.

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).

“Vari
ations on an Ancient
Tune” by Carlos
Salzedo is the third and
final work of a series
called Three
Pieces'for Solo Pedal
Harp. Difficult to
play, it requires good
mastering of the
instrument and of its
technique, including the
pedals. Using the full
range of the instrument,
this work features
numerous trills,
glissandos and
accidentals among other
technicalities and is
divided between really
fast and more quiet
parts. Really delightful,
this melodious piece is
composed of a main theme
and eleven variations:
Main Theme (Maestoso) is
composed of chords I. A
tempo, Graziamente II.
Tempo di Bourrée
III. Scherzando IV.
L'Istesso tempo V.
Maestoso VI.
Vigorosamente VII. Molto
piú lento VIII.
Vivo risoluto IX. Lento,
tempo di Barcaruola X.
Como un preludio XI. Fuga
Finishing on the main
theme “A
Tempo,” this
wonderful work is an
amazing piece to include
in a concert or a
recital. Carlos Salzedo
(1885-1961) was a French
harpist and composer who
wrote and transcribed
numerous pieces for the
harp. He also wrote some
pedagogical publications
for harpists.

â??During
my career spanning half a
century, like all my
fellow harpists I
constantly had to grapple
with the commonly held
view that the harp has
neither music nor history
of its
own. Fortunately, over
the years I have been
able to give the lie to
this myth and have tried
to bring to light some of
the vast repertoire, both
early and modern,
expressly composed for
this instrument which has
been treated somewhat as
an outsider in the
musical world. The
research work for my
books on Italian and
Swiss harp music was
plain sailing because
source materials were
specific titles and title
pages. Were I to write
books on French, German,
Austrian, British,
Bohemian, Spanish,
Portuguese or
Scandinavian harp music,
the work involved would
be equally smooth and
straightforward. Howev
er, where Dutch music is
concerned, the approach
is rather different,
because here it is the
painters,
treatise-writers and
historians who provide
the evidence and guidance
necessary to discover the
musical customs and
traditions where the harp
played a significant
part. Performers
looking for pieces of
music may use this book
as follows: chapter II
deals with treatises,
chapter III with
paintings, chapter IV
with history and research
accounts. Chapters V and
VI are concerned with
confusions in
terminology. Chapter VII
describes recent
developments and chapters
VIII and IX cover
composers and pieces of
music. Libraries and
publishers are listed
with their addresses in
chapters X and XI, and
finally chapter XII
consists of the index
based on the various
groups of
performers. In this
last chapter harpists
will find the composers
most suited to their
programme, and can then
turn to chapters VIII and
IX for details. The
actual pieces can be
obtained by consulting
chapters X and XI. I wish
you every success in your
search, in your
rehearsals and in your
concerts ! In order to
define what is Dutch or
non-Dutch in early music,
I have followed the
current approach, i.e.
all art and history prior
to the separation of the
â??Seven ProvinÂces
in the 16th century is
the common heritage of
the Low Countries,
whereas everything
pertaining to those
courageous lands from
then onwards is
specifically Dutch..

Written by
Francois Joseph Naderman
(1781-1835), Sonatinas
Progressive, Op. 92
consists of a series of
seven small sonatas. The
level of difficulty
alternates between
intermediate and advanced
as these can be played at
different speeds but
necessitates some strong
technique as well as some
pedal changes. These
Sonatinas Progressive,
Op. 92 are still
considered as some of the
most famous pieces of the
harp repertoire today.
Francois Joseph Naderman
was a classical harpist,
composer and teacher at
the Paris Conservatoire.
His vocation was
developed by growing up
as the son of a Luthier
harp maker. He also wrote
Sonatas for harp, harp
and cello, studies and
other pieces.
