Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1920s the role of the harp in America was in transition. Although the double action harp had significantly improved the instrument, its place had not been fully established. The dominant harpist of the era was Carlos Salzedo. His development of new harp techniques, his leadership in organizing a harpist association, his compositions of new music and transcriptions of existing music, and his teaching methods did much to gain recognition for the harp. The National Association of Harpists brought together harpist on a national scale. Its publication, the Eolus, was the first American magazine for the harp and it became the means of communication among harpists. The optimism of these musicians was slowed by the Depression of the 1930s and World War II reduced the job market for harpists. The Northern California Harp Association through its Harp News provided a cohesive factor for the mid-century harpists. Events in the 1960s led to the founding of the American Harp Society under the guidance of virtuoso and teacher, Marcel Grandjany. Universities, conservatories, and specialized programs provided improved training of harpists. Because much of the harp music played before this period failed to meet the requirements of better trained harpists, composers began to create new music for symphony, opera, radio, television, and popular entertainment, using new sounds and techniques. Gradually these have been accepted by the instrumentalists and the public. Technical improvements in the harp, its strings, and manufacturing methods have made harps capable of being played around the world. However, as significant as new techniques and developments have been, advancement in harp playing and harp music has been dependent upon the individual: performer, teacher, composer, and one skilled in technical equipment for harpists.

This book was released on 1995-06-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The harp is both the oldest and the newest of instruments. It has existed in some form in nearly all cultures since man has made music. The contemporary concert instrument has been known since the mid-19th century. This work is a compendium of the biographies of many notable harpists of the modern era. The biographies make clear how these performers shaped the contrasts in style and technique of harp playing that have developed over the past 150 years, as cultural, social, and psychological forces influenced individual performance. In addition to the biographical information, the A-Z entries include critical reviews, discographies, and selected bibliographies where possible. New material from the former Soviet states is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you love the harp? The French harpist Henriette Reni (18751956) asked this question of each student, and it remained her ideal throughout her life. This book explores the circumstances which surrounded the beginning of Henriette Renis career as a masterful harpist and composer. Through her celebrated performances of her Concerto en ut mineur, she gained acclaim simultaneously as a virtuosic performer and composer. In the wake of her success, several new masterpieces by respected composers appeared, including Pierns Concertstck and Ravels Introduction et Allegro. The elements of Renies virtuosity are traced through her famous Lgende, and her less-known Deux promenades matinales. Her compositional style is explored through her Scherzo-Fantaisie for harp and violin and her Concerto en ut mineur. As a teacher, Renis influence echoed throughout the world. Her profound influence has been evident through the vision of her own students, including Susann McDonald, Marcel Grandjany, Mildred Dilling, Odette Le Dentu, Odette de Montesquiou, Bertile Fournier, Emmy Hrlimann, Bertile Robet Auffray, and Marie Astrid DAuffray. The crystallization of Renis teaching practice is described through her Mthode complte de harpe (Complete Method for Harp) and her twelve volumes of harp transcriptions, Les classiques de la harpe. The amount of literature about Renis life and work is disproportionate to the deep imprint she made upon the harps history and repertoire. This book is a start to further recognizing her vast importance to the establishment of the harp.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A musical instrument that has played a vital role in Latin American music cultures--the harp--is the subject of this new work, the first study of its kind to be published in English. John Schechter presents a history of the harp in Spain, traces its introduction into colonial Latin America, and describes its modern roles in the diverse cultural centers of Mexico, Paraguay-Argentina-chile, Venezuela, and Peru. He then turns his focus to his own field research in the Quichua culture of northern highland Ecuador, an area that has receive considerably less scholarly attention than many of its Latin American neighbors. The reader will meet a community of harp maistrus on the slopes of Mt. Cotacachi and become familiar with their culture, their particular instrument and its tuning, and their performance practices. Numerous photographs, musical transcriptions, and diagrams illustrate and enliven the text. The Indispensable Harp is unique for its integration of aspects of music and cultural history, organology, and performance practice, treating in considerable depth both broadly established music-ethnographical practices. It speaks to the conclusion that the vital role of the harp in Latin American music history has now been properly acknowledged and documented.
