Rediscoveri
ng, studying and
analyzing the musical art
of Philipp Joseph Hinner
means enhancing a piece
of the eighteenth-century
harp music mosaic.
Hinner's work intrigues
for its extraordinary
simplicity, for its
regularity and harmony;
the ordered balance of
the parts, symmetry and
sense of proportion are
essential elements for
the author, and give
character and unity to
his work. The harp
repertoire has long been
overshadowed by the
keyboard one, which
boasts extensive solo and
chamber literature, and
consolidated for over two
centuries. The
rediscovery of the
history of our
instrument, however, is
still recent and the
research work in the
field of harp music is
still long. Hinner,
with the apparent
simplicity of his opus
10, can thus regain his
role in the harp
repertoire of the
eighteenth century, as
well as covering a
considerable didactic
value today. The part of
the first harp
undoubtedly presents
characteristics of
greater rhythmic and
virtuosic complexity than
that of the second, which
consists of a continuous
accompaniment
interspersed with simple
thematic imitated
episodes. Furthermore in
the composition are
included arias such as
O ma tendre
Musette, a French
popular melody of the
18th century (previously
set to music by
Pierre-Alexandre
Monsigny), and <>, taken from
the opera-comique
L'erreur d'un moment
ou la Suite de Julie
by Nicolas Dezede, as
well as themes from
Gluck's Iphigenie en
Aulide, which had
been all used also by
Hinner's first harp
master, Francesco Petrini
(1744-1819). Hinner's
opus 10, originally
written in separate parts
for two harps, or harp
and fortepiano, is
presented here updated
and completed with its
score, for a thorough
perception of the
work.

Far
Across the Sea'
(Ymhell dros y
mor) is the
latest instrumental work
from a composer noted for
her original and
sensitive writing for
harp and harp
ensemble.
In
this gentle solo, what
sounds like a folksong -
and a very fine one - is
in fact a newly composed
tune, crafted with artful
simplicity. But as the
music journeys further
from its
characteristically Welsh
opening, teasing out new
suggestions from the
material, the sense of
nostalgia becomes
definitely more
contemporary than
traditional, though the
uplifting conclusion
restores the tone of
bardic rhetoric.
This work would be a
rewarding item for
players of intermediate
standard, and was
recommended for the under
18 category of the 2009
Wales International Harp
Festival.

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.

Melodia
for Solo Harp/ Alleluja
Modo II - Wachet auf for
Harp and
Organ
This
publication gathers
together in these three
pieces the only
compositions by Santucci
devoted to the harp, both
as a solo instrument and
in dialogue with the
organ, his favourite
instrument. The little
Melodia per arpa,
a simple piece having an
apparently didactic
purpose, does not show
the date of composition
but, judging by the
handwriting of the
manuscript, it probably
dates back to the period
between 1980 and 1990. No
other information has
reached us as to why the
piece was
composed. The two
pieces Alleluja Modo
II and Wachet
auf, both dated 20
March 1993, composed for
the unusual duo of harp
and organ, are dedicated
to Anna Maria Restani,
first harp in the
orchestra of the Teatro
Comunale of Bologna from
1965 to 2002, and to her
son Wladimir Matesic,
organist and now teacher
at the Conservatoire in
Trieste. Gregorian chant
is the protagonist of the
first piece, evoking a
Gothic and rarefied
atmosphere. The second is
instead a blatant tribute
to Johann Sebastian Bach
(right from the first
bars the reference to
Prelude no. 1 of the
Well-Tempered
Clavier is clear),
through one of his most
famous chorales
(Wachet auf, ruft uns
die stimme), also
used by Santucci for
numerous other
compositions, including
Il corteo dei Magi
[for trumpet, organ,
orchestra and choir,
1986, ms.], still
performed in the
Christmas concerts in
Bologna. (Giuseppe
Monari).

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. .

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.

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

Londonderry Air, Op. 20'
and 'Two Duets for 2

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.
