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.

'This set
of miniatures is based on
traditional dance songs
of the Yupik Eskimo
people of Western Alaska.
In their original forms,
these melodies would be
sung in unison. The
first, third and fifth
songs would be
accompanied by frame
drums. The second and
fourth are game songs,
for jumping rope and
juggling pebbles. Aside
from the obvious
difference in
instrumentation, my
settings of these songs
differ from the Yup'ik
originals in other
respects. I have extended
and varied the melodies,
and added
countermelodies, ostinato
figurations,
introductions, interludes
and codas. The first four
melodies are drawn from
the collection Yup'ik
Eskimo songs, compiled by
Thomas F. Johnston, and
Tupou L. Pulu, and
published by the
University Of Alaska. The
fifth was 'loaned' to me
by Yup'ik singer and
dancer Chuna McIntyre,
who learned it in his
village of Eek, Alaska.
The poems preceding each
piece are rough
translations of the words
to the songs. These
verses are often cryptic
and enigmatic. Their
obscurity is increased
because some of the words
or their meanings have
been lost, over time.' -
John Luther Adams.

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.

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.
