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.

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
instrument. The music is
both out-and-out tender
and exuberant, clearly
celebrating the birth of
Emerald, the first
daughter of one of Pann's
dear childhood friends.
For advanced
harpists.________________

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.

Simon Holt
's the man in the wind
and the west moon was
composed for Solo Harp in
2013, having been
commissioned by The Tanza
Trust. The piece takes
its title from a line in
a Dylan Thomas poem named
'And death shall have no
dominion'. The four
sections of the work see
shifting harmonies
throughout, with the
first section repeating
but also changing ever so
subtly. The unique thing
about the piece is that
each section is
dynamically different,
but is left open to
interpretation by the
player. The man in
the wind and the west
moon was
first performed on the
2nd of June 2014 at
Milton Court Concert Hall
in London by Alex Rider.
The piece lasts around
7minutes, and the bottom
C and D strings should be
tuned to C# and D#
respectively.

This is
the second part of the
tutor for the celtic
harp. Nowadays we prefer
to call it the non-pedal
harp because of its much
larger range of models
and possibilities. This
album has the intention
of helping harpists
tounderstandand to
elaborate upon old music,
symbols and
ornamentations. Several
special techniques
possible on the non-pedal
harp are given attention.
Enjoy yourself!
