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..

John
Stanleyâ??s 30
Voluntaries (translatable
as preludes), published
in three collections as
opp. 5, 6 and 7, are
among the best known
organ works of the 18th
century. These free-style
compositions were
received with great
appreciation by his
contemporaries; the first
volume, published in
1748, immediately
achieved canonical status
and encouraged other
composers to write
similar collections. The
pieces, of easy to medium
difficulty, are for
manuals (alternatively,
they can also be played
on the harpsichord) and
comprise two movements,
slow and fast, many of
which are characterized
by a certain rhythmic
energy and richness of
color, expressed through
the use of solo registers
such as cornet and
trumpet, with multiple
echo effects, here
adapted and transformed
into piano, forte, and
playing near the sound
board effect, limiting,
or rather modifying,
their results.

For
oboe, clarinet, viola,
harp The opening movement
of this five-movement
work features the oboe,
being a setting of a solo
piece written by the
composer in memory of
Barbara Hepworth. The
second is a lyrical canon
for oboe, clarinet, and
viola, the third and
fourth movements are
formal and chorale-like
whilst, the last is a
sprightly, rather quirky
march.
