French
harpist, composer and
teacher, Marcel Tournier
(1879-1951) wrote
important solo repertoire
for the harp which
expanded the harmonic and
technical possibilities
of the instrument. His
Morning Concert
Study is no
exception. Composed in
1940, Morning Concert
Study remains
regularly performed and
recorded by harpists. The
piece is marked allegro
and is in compound meter.
Tonality and rhythm are
sublimely exploited and
there is much use of
extended technique.
Tournier's Morning
Concert Study is
suitable to all advanced
harpists seeking to
explore varied repertoire
on the instrument.

s compositions for harp

not easy to draw a

contributed to the
development of the 20th

driven by two together
with the same foot (a
very old French
technique), has gradually
become more and more
difficult on modern
harps. From the point of
view of his contribution
to the harp repertoire,
the constant run-up to
the piano has heavily
influenced his
compositional production,
making him often
completely miss the
idiomatic effects of 19th
Century harp music
(except for the use of
harmonic sounds), which
were so loved by his
friend Liszt in the
compositions of Parish
Alvars.

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..

Artemis. The title of
this 2010 composition is
a bit cryptic, but
Artemis is the given name

both out-and-out tender

celebrating the birth of
Emerald, the first

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).

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).

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.
