arranged for Harp. Par HILL MILDRED J. / WOODS SYLVIA (Arr.). Sylvia Woods (née en 1951 dans le Tennessee) est une harpiste et compositrice américaine, peut-être plus connue pour son rôle dans la renaissance mondiale de la harpe celtique, ou cláirseach. Elle a commencé à vendre et à écrire de la musique pour les harpes celtiques dans les années 1970, alors que l'instrument était peu connu aux États-Unis, contribuant ainsi à une vague d'intérêt pour la harpe et la musique celtique. Constatant un manque de répertoire et de ressources pour la harpe folk, Sylvia a commencé à écrire et à arranger de la musique spécifiquement pour la harpe folk (ou harpe à levier) en 1978. Le premier livre de Mme Woods, Teach Yourself to Play the Folk Harp, est sans doute l'ouvrage d'apprentissage le plus connu pour la harpe à levier, et a servi d'introduction à la harpe à des milliers de musiciens. Elle a depuis publié plus de 80 livres et arrangements de partitions pour la harpe celtique, englobant une grande variété de styles musicaux, du folk au classique en passant par la pop.

versione originale per arpa. Milan, 1990 I was writing a series of piano pieces. I had a goal: to remove, and leave space. The title refers to the poetic stanzas but also to invisible spaces to be inhabited with the mind. One day my friend Cecilia Chailly calls me and asks me if I have a harp piece for her to play. I give her Vega to try. Two days later I go to her house to listen and, with mutual enthusiasm, I give her all the pieces that we will soon be recording. Cecilia will perform them in concert on various and memorable occasions. Here, I would like to express my profound thanks for her heartfelt help in correcting this new harp edition. (L. Einaudi)

Harp Solo and Duet Collection; The classic pop hit arranged for harp solo and for harp and voice or melody instrument by Sylvia Woods. Includes playing tips and lyrics

Arioso is the third piece from the Towards the Light collection for piano written during Patrickâ??s time as Composer in Residence for Classic FM. Arranged for lever harp by Elinor Evans this beautiful piece is a soothing outpouring of melody. Meaning â??in the style of an ariaâ?? it introduces the lyrical quality which is a major feature of the collection.

The composer writes: 'This volume constitutes new works written for pedal harp alongside some pieces reworked from my earlier volume of the same name for lever harp which lended themselves equally well to the pedal environment. As with the the former works these aim to exploit the idiosyncrasies of the instrument while opening up new technical challenges to the player within a stylistically familiar environment. Nocturne 2 for example explores rolled chords and balance of melody over an active accompaniment whilst Sunny Sunday plays with irregular time signatures and shifting accents and Tara???s Dream Waltz challenges your pedaling and explores more exotic sonorities. Ihope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them !'

The composer writes: 'This piece was composed using as its basis the compositional technique of serialism in which a fixed series of notes are used to make the harmonic and melodic base of a piece. I looked at the twelve Munro???s on the Isle of Skye known as The Cuillin and used their height???s to get the twelve notes required in serialism. The tallest is Sg?rr Alasdair at 992 meters and Sg?rr a??? Mhadaidh is the shortest at 918 meters. I added together the number of meters to get a single number that could be related to a note in the scale. I wrote down the scale I had chosen and assigned each Cuillin a note the heights of the Cuillin gave me the order which gave me the tune Iuse. I decided not to use a conventional scale so I put on my B and F levers which gives the scale a darker colour that I feel matches the mystery of the Cuillin. Although the technique used to achieve the scale is serial the piece itself cannot be described as a serial piece and I have allowed the music to develop more freely and organically than a system would allow.'

The composer writes: 'My approach to writing these works for intermediate level lever harp was to fully embrace the diatonic and/or modal properties of the lever harp and to write into the strengths of the instrument. I also wanted to create works which whilst embedded in stylistically familiar territory also open up less familiar technical and musical elements for new players. For example the ???celtic??? themed works Coire Fhionn Lochan and The Road to Kilchurn Castle are derived from very familiar elements but which challenge the players ability to deal with irregular times and juxtaposed rhythmic material and Reverie which tests the harpists ability to maintain evennesswhile controlling gradual changes of tempo and dynamic within a very familiar technical landscape. One of the other important things was to write works specifically for the lever harp (as opposed to pedal harp) especially given that so much lever harp repertoire consists of arrangements or re-arranged pedal harp music. The lever system offers many advantages over the pedal system including the opportunity to employ chromatic possibilities that would otherwise be impossible. So some of these works indulge and celebrate these idiosyncrasies. I hope you will enjoy playing them as much as I enjoyed writing them.'
