Martin-Pier
re Dalvimare, born in
1770, in Dreux
(Eure-et-Loir), from a
distinguished family,
learnt music as an
entertainment art, and
was obliged to make it a
resource for his
existence, after the
troubles of the
Revolution in 1789. He
had acquired a remarkable
talent for the harp; when
he arrived in Paris he
made a very good
impression. Then, man of
the world, knowledgeable
in many fields, which is
rare for a musician, he
was welcome everywhere,
and very soon came in
friendly terms with some
of the most renowned
artists and men of
letters of his times. The
marriage certificate of
the poet Legouve (15
pluviose of the year XI,
or February 1803, 12th
municipality of Paris),
shows that Dalvimare was
one of his best men and
that at the time he was
thirty-two years old. He
became harpist of the
Opera in the year VIII
(1800), and was
definitively confirmed in
the month of fructidor of
the year IX. At the time
of the institution of the
emperor Napoleon's
private music, M.
Dalvimare was appointed
as his harpist. In
September 1807 he
obtained the title of
harp master of the
empress Josephine. A
lucky change of his
fortune allowed this
artist to renounce to
practise his talent for
living, he resigned from
all of his positions on
March, 12th, 1812, and he
retired in Dreux, where
he still was living in
1837. For a peculiar
weakness, he does not
like to speak about his
artist career, which had
been entirely honourable,
and he would like to
forget his success too.
His first composition was
a symphonie concertant
for harp and horn, which
he composed with Frederic
Duvernoy, and published
in the year VII (1798);
notwithstanding, he
counted as his first opus
a collection of romances
with accompaniment of
piano or harp, which he
later published with
Pleyel.
In 1809
Dalvimare composed, for
the theatre Feydeau, a
one-act opera-comique
called The Marriage for
Imprudence. The music was
weak; the work did not
succeed, and people used
to say that the greatest
imprudence had been the
one of the authors who
had it performed.
Nevertheless, the score
of this opera was
published in Paris by
erard. (Francois-Joseph
Fetis).

French
pianist and composer,
Serge Lancen (1922-2005)
studied at the Paris
Conservatoire where he
won first prize for
composition in 1949. His
professional career saw
him winning many prizes
for his compositions and
For Raphaele remains
popular in the Harp
repertoire. As
exemplified in For
Raphaele, Lancen's
compositional style
remained attached to the
French characteristics,
featuring luscious
melodies, balance and
clarity of tone. With a
typical performance
lasting about 2 and a
half minutes, Pour
Raphaele demonstrates the
versatility of the Harp,
addressing flourishes,
dotted rhythms,
syncopation and
variations in dynamics.
For all intermediate
harpists, Lancen's For
Raphaele is a delightful
addition to the
instrument's repertoire.

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.

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

“Born
in 1929, French composer,
Pierick Houdy was a
student of Olivier
Messiaen at the Paris
Conservatoire. He led a
successful career as
director of many
institutions and choirs,
and his compositions
remain known to this day,
Sonata for Harp being no
exception. Composed in
1983, Sonata for Harp
contributes to a
substantial catalogue of
works by Houdy. The
Sonata comprises three
movements and a typical
performance lasts about
twelve minutes. The work
is modern in style and
addresses a range of
technical features.
Suitable for advanced
harpists, Houdy's Sonata
for Harp is an exciting
addition to the
contemporary Harp
repertoire and makes for
a evocative
performance.&rdquo.

Castle on a
Cloud is sung by the
child Cosette in Les
Miserables. It is a
hopeful song of her
imaginary world where
life is beautiful, and
she is not subjected to
the drudgery of her hard
existence. Sylvia Woods
has arranged this lilting
song for lever or pedal
harp. There are 7 lever
changes in the piece, so
it is for lower
intermediate to
intermediate level
players. Fingerings and
lyrics are included, as
well as lever and pedal
changes. Two, 2-page
versions are included:
one for lever harps tuned
to C, and the other for
lever harps tuned to
flats. Pedal harpists can
play either version. The
arrangement for lever
harps tuned to C is in
the key of D (2 sharps),
with A and C lever
changes needed. The
arrangement for lever
harps tuned to flats is
in the key of C, with B
and G lever changes
needed. Either version
may be played on most
small harps with about 26
strings if you play
everything an octave
higher than written.
There are special
instructions in the
introduction telling you
what you'll need to
change if you have a
small harp.

Simon Holt
'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.
