Par DELISE LOUIS ANTHONY. Louis Anthony deLise's Giocara for Flute and Harp was written for flutist Joan Sparks and harpist Anne Sullivan. As the title implies, (giocara means 'to play'), this collection is all about playfulness, and consists of three works: Three Little Dancers, A Preponderance of Sevenths, and Petite Fall Fanfare. Though originally composed for flute and pedal harp, included in this edition are lever harp arrangements of the first two movements. The third movement, being primarily diatonic, can be played on lever harp with the notes included.Louis Anthony deLise's Giocara for Flute and Harp was written for flutist Joan Sparks and harpist Anne Sullivan.

Original Manuscript Edition-Almost 100 years after the first publication of Debussy's Sonate Pour Flute Alto Et Harpe by Durand et Cie this seminal work in the chamber music literature has been meticulously compared contrasted and corrected against Debussy's handwritten and autographed 1915 manuscript. Using photographs provided by the National Library of France harpist Carl Swanson has documented and corrected nearly 300 discrepancies between the composer's intent and the Durand 1916 edition.The corrections made in this edition consist of musical indications being omitted misplaced or inverted; dynamic markings that are in the manuscriptbut not the printed version have been added wrong and misaligned notes have been corrected musical indications previously omitted in individual parts have been added and intended durations of dynamic and tempo changes have been corrected.Debussy was one of the first composers to make extensive use of musical indications and was extremely meticulous in his scores. To read a score of his with missing misplaced or wrong directions is a significant as reading a score with missing or incorrect notes. Now for the first time in history Debussy's Sonate Pour Flute Alto Et Harpe has been printed exactly as the composer intended.

Pastoreles De Noël by André Jolivet is a piece for Flute Bassoon and the Harp lasting nearly 13 minutes. This piece is really gentle and restrained which demonstrates the quality of Jolivet’s work but also reflects that period of WWII when France was under occupation. These scores are of medium level of ability. Pastoreles De Noël features four sections: L’étoile (the Star) Les Mages (the Wisemen) La Vierge et l’Enfant (the Virgin and the Child) and Entrée et Danse des Bergers (the Shepherds’ dance). Each of these parts describes a part of theChristmas story starting with the Flute and the Bassoon in a duet followed by the entrance of the Harp to settle the first part. The second section is quieter expressing the walk in the desert. The Virgin and the Child is like a lullaby and the piece finishes on a joyful dance to express happiness and devotion. André Jolivet is a French composer who was really inspired by the Antiquity and had a strong interest for atonality. He also wrote many chamber music pieces eleven concertos some orchestral and some vocal music.

Harp 3-CD Play-Along-Performed by Desislave Nikolova harp Accompaniment: Marcelo Ehrlich flute; Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov Mozart's well-known concerto for flute

Sunrise was commissioned by Backshore Artists Project Inc. on the occasion of Carol Wincenc’s 40th anniversary on the concert stage and underwritten by a generous grant from Linda and Stuart Nelson.The work is dedicated to Carol Wincenc for this very special occasion.It starts slowly with the bass flute leading a dark dream-like section with a theme that is marked rubato seductive. The viola echoes this melody but ties to move it to another key. Eventually the tempo quickens as the harp adds a new theme which the others soon copy.A new section svegliato (awakening) follows where the harp and viola encourage the flute to join them in a sprightly scherzo whichgrows to a climax to herald the sunrise. Here the viola leads with a glowing theme. After the flute has echoed this melody the mood quietens and in a peaceful coda the flute ‘remembers’ the theme from the very opening: it is now bathed in sunlight and is marked luminous.
