I
have always been fond of
writing works for
specific people or
organizations. It has
been my good fortune
during most of my
creative career to be
asked to compose for many
extraordinary performers.
The Sonata for
Harpsichord Solo is such
a case in point: it was
written in 1982 for
Barbara Harbach, a superb
performer, close friend,
and collaborator on many
musical projects. The
Sonata was premiered on
March 2, 1984, in a
recital given by Dr.
Harbach at Nazareth
College in Rochester, New
York. During my formative
years as a composer, one
seldom heard of the
harpsichord as a modern
instrument, though while
I attended undergraduate
school at Boston
University, some of us
banded together to
construct a small
harpsichord from one of
the first do-it-yourself
kits which began to
appear in the late '40s.
It was also during this
time that I heard the
Sonatina for Violin and
Harpsichord by my teacher
Walter Piston and
consequently specified
that the accompanying
instrument for my second
violin sonata could
either be a piano or a
harpsichord. It was not
until recently, however,
that my interest in the
harpsichord as a solo
instrument for new music
was aroused. This was
because of the emergence
of so many young
virtuosi, such as Barbara
Harbach, who are
interested in the
performance of new music
besides the great
harpsichord music of the
Classical, Baroque, and
pre-Baroque eras. The
keyboard music of
Domenico Scarlatti has
always intrigued and
fascinated me. The
brevity, excitement, and
clarity of this sparkling
music is charming as well
as exhilarating. It is
this type of Baroque
sonata that inspired the
conception and form of my
harpsichord sonata. The
entire work is loosely
based on the musical
translation of Barabara
Harbach's name,
especially the conflict
of the B (B-flat) and H
(B-natural in German
notation). This secondo
rub or dissonance
especially pervades the
first movement, which is
in a modified sonata
form, pitting jagged and
tense melodic elements
against most lyrical and
smooth lines. This second
movement is a song-like
melody accompanied by
rolled chords which may
be played on the lute
stop of the instrument if
this sonata is performed
on a two-manual
harpsichord. The final
movement is an
ever-driving joyous
toccata which brings the
work to an exciting close
with a coda made up of
accelerating repeated
chords. --Samuel
Adler.

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.

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.

Far
Across the Sea'
(Ymhell dros y
mor) is the
latest instrumental work
from a composer noted for
her original and
sensitive writing for
harp and harp
ensemble.
In
this gentle solo, what
sounds like a folksong -
and a very fine one - is
in fact a newly composed
tune, crafted with artful
simplicity. But as the
music journeys further
from its
characteristically Welsh
opening, teasing out new
suggestions from the
material, the sense of
nostalgia becomes
definitely more
contemporary than
traditional, though the
uplifting conclusion
restores the tone of
bardic rhetoric.
This work would be a
rewarding item for
players of intermediate
standard, and was
recommended for the under
18 category of the 2009
Wales International Harp
Festival.

Im Fruhjahr
2012 schrieb ich fur das
Duo Imaginaire ein knapp
viertelstundiges Werk fur
die ganz ungewohnliche,
aber umso reizvollere
Duobesetzung von
Klarinette und Harfe. Der
romantisch-ironische
Titel einer
melancholischen Serenade
gibt den semantischen
Inhalt des Stuckes recht
genau wieder. Musikalisch
formal handelt es sich um
ein grossformatiges
rondoartiges Gebilde, in
dem sich zahlreiche
melodische und virtuose
Episoden um ein
schwebend-synkopisches
Thema gruppieren, das
sich zwar verandert, aber
als roter Faden trotzdem
deutlich wiederzuerkennen
ist. Das Stuck besitzt
einen tonalen Rahmen, der
auf siebentonigen Skalen
basiert, die die
Gegebenheiten der Harfe
als diatonisches
Instrument nutzen, ohne
ein einziges Mal als
echte Dur- oder
Mollskalen in Erscheinung
zu treten. Der
serenadenhafte Charakter
des Stuckes wird
unterstrichen durch die
Charakterisierung der
Klarinette als lineares
Gesangsinstrument und die
Harfe als akkordisch
gefuhrtes Zupfinstrument.
Selbstverstandlich
verlassen beide
Instrumente immer wieder
den ihnen angestammten
Bereich (die Harfe
beginnt zu singen,
wahrend sich die
Klarinette in uppigen
Figurationen ergeht),
wodurch ein
kammermusikalisch dichtes
und klanglich reizvolles
Gewebe entsteht.- Stefan
Heucke.

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

both out-and-out tender
and exuberant, clearly
celebrating the birth of
Emerald, the first
daughter of one of Pann's
dear childhood friends.

The
viola solo courbe 2 is
based on an excerpt from
the viola part in the
Trio for flute, viola and
harp << courbes >> -
sequences. In the densest
time curve of this piece
the viola plays the
leading role for a span
of almost three minutes.
This material is taken
from the Trio, presented
and divided into separate
parts. courbe 2 is three
times longer in duration
than the Trio excerpt
from which it is derived.
The musical text of the
individual fragments
remains as it is in the
original, but, pulsating,
demarcated in seconds.
Fissures emerge between
the fragments, windows
open: - to harmonic
fields, central sounds,
taken over from the
reverberations, from
which new tone material
is derived; the fields in
turn are distorted and
spacialised by the
electronics - to metrical
structures and pulses
freed from the individual
motives of the original
musical text, which forms
new variants in
interaction with these
fields. Thus in courbe 2
which, as already
indicated, is three times
longer in duration than
the original, three
musical levels are
interpenetrated, whereby
all three are derived
from one tone, which
plays an absolutely
central role in most of
my works. It is a
reference to the French
writer Anne-Marie Albiach
(and to her great text <<
H II >> lineaires), and
it remains as the only
tone at the end of the
piece, definitively,
determining everything, b
= 247 Hertz. Walter
Feldmann.

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 Legend of
the Elves inspired
the poem of the same name
by French poet, Leconte
de Lisle. Despite being a
talented composer,
Renié lived at a
time where fame and
success was socially
unacceptable for women.
In 1903, she composed her
substantial work for
harp, Legend of the
Elves. As a highly
virtuosic work, this
Renié piece
displays use of cadenza
passages, exploitation of
tonality, complex rhythms
and variety in
performance directions.
For advanced harpists,
Renié's Legend
of the Elves is an
exciting and varied
addition to the
repertoire.

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).
