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).

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
among the compulsory

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
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.

“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.
