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

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.. $27.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 3 to 4 weeks | | |
