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.

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).

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).

Jolivet is a piece
for Flute, Bassoon and
the Harp lasting nearly
13 minutes. This piece is
really gentle and
restrained which
demonstrates the quality
ofJolivet’
s work but also reflects
that period of WWII when
France was under
occupation. These scores
are of medium level of
ability.

sections:L’é

Mages (the Wisemen), La

(the Virgin and the
Child) and Entrée

Shepherds’ dance).
Each of these parts
describes a part
oftheChristmas story,
starting with the Flute
and the Bassoon in a
duet, followed by the
entrance of the Harp to
settle the first part.
The second section is
quieter, expressing the
walk in the desert. The
Virgin and the Child
islike a lullaby and the
piece finishes on a
joyful dance to express
happiness and devotion.

Consolation
- Like A Roselike Flower
(Consolazione - Flos Ut
Rosa) for Harp solo by
Per Norgard (2002).
Written for and dedicated
to Tine Rehling.
Programme note by the
composer: The concept of
Mary has a depth that
transcends all religious
persuasions. All over the
earth symbols of the
gentle and maternal are
known. But the word
'Maria' is also
associated - in sound -
with the Latin word for
the sea, mare, and she
thus become the Star of
the Sea, Maris
Stella. In my 3rd
Symphony the Maria motif
is used in a hymn section
in the second, and last,
part of the work. The
choral song “Flos
ut rosa floruit”
was composed directly in
the context of the
symphony, and themelody
had a 'stamina' that
carried it over into many
later vocal and choral
compositions, for
instance the
“Concerto for Harp
No. 2 - through
thorns” (2003) and
the present Consolazione
for harp solo , both
works dedicated to Tine
Rehling. .

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.

«Sono
stata un?arpista attiva
per mezzo secolo. Come
tutti i miei colleghi, ho
dovuto affrontare le
difficoltà create dalla
leggenda che l?arpa non
abbia né musica, né
storia.
Fortunatamente, nel
corso della mia carriera,
ho potuto constatare che
questa diceria è
infondata e ho cercato di
mettere in risalto almeno
una piccola parte
dell?immenso repertorio
antico e moderno di
questo strumento
considerato un Paria
della musica. Il
lavoro è stato piano e
diretto per i libri che
ho scritto sulla musica
d?arpa italiana e
svizzera, perché basato
su precisi titoli e
frontespizi; la ricerca
sarebbe stata ugualmente
scorrevole per i libri
che non scriverò sulla
musica d?arpa francese,
tedesca, austriaca,
britannica, boema,
spagnola, portoghese e
scandinava. Per la
musica olandese il
cammino è un po?
diverso: i pittori, i
trattatisti e gli storici
sono i testimoni e le
guide che aiutano a
ritrovare gli usi e i
costumi musicali nei
quali l?arpa aveva una
parte importante. Il
concertista in cerca di
pezzi potrà utilizzare
così questo libro: dopo
i trattati (capitolo II),
i dipinti (capitolo III),
la storia e la cronaca
(capitoli IV-VII), autori
e musiche (capitoli VIII
e IX), biblioteche ed
editori (capitoli X e
XI), arriverà all?indice
secondo le formazioni
strumentali (capitolo
XII). Potrà
cominciare dal cercare,
in quest?ultimo capitolo,
gli Autori adatti al suo
gruppo e al suo
programma; ritroverà i
relativi dettagli nei
capitoli VIII e IX;
otterrà i pezzi seguendo
le indicazioni dei
capitoli X, XI e XII; e
buona caccia, buono
studio, buone
prove! Nel cercare di
stabilire che cosa sia
olandese o non-olandese
nella musica antica è
stata seguita l?abitudine
corrente di considerare
patrimonio comune dei
Paesi Bassi l?arte e la
storia anteriori alla
separazione delle "Sette
Province" nel secolo XVI;
e specificamente olandese
tutto ciò che accadde in
quei coraggiosi territori
da allora in
poi.»

s compositions for harp
are rich and varied, and

with the same foot (a

become more and more

view of his contribution
to the harp repertoire,
the constant run-up to
the piano has heavily
influenced his

making him often

(except for the use of

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..
