Castle on a
Cloud is sung by the
child Cosette in Les
Miserables. It is a
hopeful song of her
imaginary world where
life is beautiful, and
she is not subjected to
the drudgery of her hard
existence. Sylvia Woods
has arranged this lilting
song for lever or pedal
harp. There are 7 lever
changes in the piece, so
it is for lower
intermediate to
intermediate level
players. Fingerings and
lyrics are included, as
well as lever and pedal
changes. Two, 2-page
versions are included:
one for lever harps tuned
to C, and the other for
lever harps tuned to
flats. Pedal harpists can
play either version. The
arrangement for lever
harps tuned to C is in
the key of D (2 sharps),
with A and C lever
changes needed. The
arrangement for lever
harps tuned to flats is
in the key of C, with B
and G lever changes
needed. Either version
may be played on most
small harps with about 26
strings if you play
everything an octave
higher than written.
There are special
instructions in the
introduction telling you
what you'll need to
change if you have a
small harp.

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.

French
pianist and composer,
Serge Lancen (1922-2005)
studied at the Paris
Conservatoire where he
won first prize for
composition in 1949. His
professional career saw
him winning many prizes
for his compositions and
For Raphaele remains
popular in the Harp
repertoire. As
exemplified in For
Raphaele, Lancen's
compositional style
remained attached to the
French characteristics,
featuring luscious
melodies, balance and
clarity of tone. With a
typical performance
lasting about 2 and a
half minutes, Pour
Raphaele demonstrates the
versatility of the Harp,
addressing flourishes,
dotted rhythms,
syncopation and
variations in dynamics.
For all intermediate
harpists, Lancen's For
Raphaele is a delightful
addition to the
instrument's repertoire.

Th
e history of the
Viggianesi, strolling
musicians, winds over a
period of about four
centuries and esprimeun
‘unicum’
musically and
anthropologically. Heirs
of a travelling musical
tradition that from the
late Middle Ages
inhabited more than just
the streets of the
Kingdom of Sicily and
Naples, the harpists of
this extraordinary story
made their first
appearances as early as
the end of the 1600s
engaged in musical
practices at
shrines. Armed with an
urgent need to make a
living together with a
strong musical
inclination, adaptability
and versatility, the
groups of musicians,
almost always belonging
to the same family
circle, became the
promoters of the great
Italian musical tradition
(Southern in particular),
and with their harps on
their shoulders they
became the identification
symbol of a well-defined
and limited area of
Italy: the Agri Valley,
in Basilicata. From
the many documents
examined, a very wide and
varied musical repertoire
emerges mixing the
pastoral tradition with
classical tradition
(mainly opera, devotional
music with songs from the
cities (from the
Neapolitan tradition to
international
production). The pastoral
repertoire, the subject
of this publication,
consists of a strongly
characterized native
repertoire which the
Viggianesi had
consolidated in both
public and private ritual
occasions in their native
land, even if performing
in distant
lands.

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.

Written by
Marcel Grandjany on a
tune of Haydn, Fantasy is
a piece for Harp that
includes 5 variations of
the main theme. Ideally
to be played on pedal
Harp, it would fit the
skills and abilities of
advanced Harp players.
The technical
difficulties encountered
are various as this piece
involves some
hand-crossings,
arpeggios, natural
harmonies, accidental
alterations as well as
some pedal changes.
Marcel Grandjany is a
French-born American who
lived in the 20th
century. He studied with
Alphonse Hasselmans at
the Paris Conservatoire
from the age of 11 and
got the First Prize at 13
years old. He composed
numerous pieces for Harp,
of all levels: '3 Very
Easy Little Pieces, Op.
7', 'Divertissement, Op.
29', 'Variation on the
Londonderry Air, Op. 20'
and 'Two Duets for 2

others..

'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.
