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.

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.

Tangled is
Disney's popular animated
film from 2010, based on
the German fairy tale
Rapunzel. This book
includes two songs from
the movie, arranged for
lever or pedal harp by
Sylvia Woods: I See the
Light and Healing
Incantation. Both pieces
include lyrics,
fingerings, and lever or
pedal changes. I See the
Light is the love song
between Rapunzel and
Flynn, sung in the boat
during the lantern
ceremony. This 5-page
intermediate arrangement
is in the key of C with F
and G lever changes
throughout. The range is
31 strings, from the C 2
octaves below middle C up
to the E 2 octaves and 2
strings above middle C.
The one-page Healing
Incantation is the song
that Rapunzel sings when
her hair creates the
magic. It is in the key
of 1 sharp, with G and C
lever changes. It can be
played by advanced
beginners with experience
in making lever changes.
The range is 22 strings,
from the E almost 2
octaves below middle C,
up to the E 9 strings
above middle C. It can be
played on many 26-string
harps, if played an
octave higher than
written. Both pieces are
included in this sheet
music.

the composer Thierry

experimental playing
techniques, an exemplary

from among soft
whispering sounds and
massive chord clusters.

Say
Something is an original
song by the American duo
A Great Big World. The
lyrics are about letting
go when a relationship
ends. It became an
international hit when
Christina Aguilera joined
A Great Big World on a
re-recorded version in
2013. Sylvia Woods has
made a 4-page advanced
beginner to intermediate
arrangement, playable on
either lever or pedal
harp. This music features
a pedal point (also
called a pedal note or
pedal tone), which is a
sustained or continually
repeated note that is
held constant while
harmonies change in other
parts. A pedal point is
usually found in the
bass, but here it is in
the middle register.
Virtually every measure
includes a middle C note
on the downbeat.
Sometimes it is played
with the right hand, and
at other times with the
left. But it is almost
always there. This pedal
point harmony is what
originally drew me into
this beautiful piece of
music the first time I
heard it on the radio.
The music is in the key
of C, and no sharping
levers are required, as
there are no lever
changes. Fingerings,
lyrics and chord symbols
are included. The harp
range required is 24
strings from a low C up
to an E. It can be played
on 24-string to 26-string
harps with a C as the
lowest string if you play
both hands an octave
higher than written.

Composed by
the famous harpist
Henriette Renié,
Pine trees of
Charlannes is an easy
small piece for lever
harp with piano or harp
accompaniment. This piece
for beginners is really
nice to play and to start
playing ensemble music.
The principal harp
sections feature some
really melodious sections
and some sections with
quavers going up. It
alternates these sections
with the accompaniment
played by the piano or a
second harp. Henriette
Renié was a
virtuoso French harpist
born in 1875. With
professors such as
Alphonse Hasselmans and
Théodore Dubois,
she received the First
Prize for the Harp in
1887. She wrote numerous
works for harp including
chamber music, and a
concerto.

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.
