oeuvre commandée par la Communauté d'agglomération Grand Paris Sud-Ouest à l'attention de ses conservatoires de musique, notamment le C.R.R. de Boulogne-Billancourt.Sur quatre notes, Ré-Mi-Sol-Lab, un chantonnement épisodique parcourt la pièce en arrière-plan. Dessus va se greffer un geste ascendant, un peu solennel, sous forme de phrases qui couvriront toute l'étendue de l'instrument, et dont les doubles sons au débit régulier devront respecter bientôt un accelerando et un crescendo. En contraste, un autre élément, au caractère souple, mélodique et expressif, décrit des courbes de direction descendante. Celles-ci surgissent à partir de deux notes fixes, Do#-Sib, qui reviennent obstinément, comme un signal. Deux cheminements évoluent donc dans des directions opposées, en s'entrecoupant l'un l'autre. Un jeu d'échos s'établit à partir de ces composants, et les met en perspective.La pièce demande de la part de l'interprète un jeu très coloré, avec une palette de nuances aussi diversifiée que possible.A l'écoute de cette musique, on ne doit pas percevoir de pulsation forte et mécanique.Les sons évoluent comme ceux de la nature, de façon souple. / Harpe Celtique Seule

Par TOURNIER MARCEL. Composed for Pedal Harp, Vers La Source Dans Le Bois is a piece for advanced players composed by Marcel Tournier. Including some pedal changes, the piece starts played by the right hand interpreting the water coming from the fountain, with really fast notes giving a feeling of an enchanted world. The left hand completes this part with natural harmonies and the piece then follows with glissandi before coming back to the initial theme. This melodious piece is really gracious and will be nice to play and to listen to. Marcel Tournier (1879-1951) was a French harpist, composer and professor, whowrote many pieces that are now part of the repertoire and that extended the technical capacities of this instrument./ Répertoire / Harpe

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)

Book 2-Christopher Norton is well-known throughout the world for his compositions for piano particularly the Microjazz series published by Boosey and Hawkes and Connections for Piano published by 80 Days Publishing. His music is popular with piano students as well as professional performers because he writes well for the piano has a subtle blend of jazz pop and classical influences and has a distinctive style of writing that appeals to a wide range of audiences. The Microjazz Collection books have for many years been a favourite with teachers because they contain such a variety of styles some specific some quirky combinations of the composer???s own devising. The melodiesare attractive and sometimes unpredictable with modal and pentatonic elements often featured. These arrangements from the Microjazz Collection for lever harp will bring these stimulating pieces to a whole new audience.

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 !'
