Jazz Harp

Two solos in jazz idiom for pedal or non-pedal harp-Two solos in the jazz idiom for Pedal or Non-Pedal Harp by Stewart Green. Stewart Green began writing music for the Piano at an early age. Taking up the Viola and Oboe in his teens he later went to the University College of North Wales (Bangor) where he studied composition with among others William Matthias and Reginald Smith Brindle. Gaining a B. Mus. (hons) degree in 1960 he returned to his old school in Richester to teach class and instrumental music. Four years later he enlisted as oboist to the Band of HM Coldstream Guards which opened many doors including performances of his compositions and arrangements in many National venues on discand broadcast by the BBC on Radios 2 & 3. His years at Bangor had enabled him to fulfil a childhood dream of learning the Harp which he was later able to develop when he left the army and moved with his wife Sue and young family to Lowestoft as a peripatetic woodwind tutor for Suffolk County Music Service. His Flights Of Fancy and Blistering Along! appear on ABRSM and Trinity College Harp examination syllabuses while the Spartan Press publication Saxofun is on Suffolk's own exam syllabus. Since 1999 Stewart has been senior Woodwind Tutor for Suffolk and since 2002 Harp tutor as well! Stewart's recent publication She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain was written for the North Suffolk String Orchestra as was Haunted House. Spookily this received its first performance at Lowestoft accompanied by a July Thunderstorm!

Jusqu'à récemment, jazz a été un idiome largement négligé par les joueurs de la harpe, pour plusieurs raisons. Tout d'abord, il n'ont pas été beaucoup de joueurs avec la capacité technique nécessaires pour jouer le jazz moderne et jusqu'à très récemment, plus personnes atteintes que capacité souhaitent exclusivement les styles classiques. En outre, la harpe elle-même n'est pas conçue d'une manière qui rend jazz facile à jouer. Jazz exige une attaque lisse, legato et accents en une ligne de jazz peuvent tomber sur une partie quelconque du battement. Il est difficile de jouer les déplacements de souffle constante impose legato harpe et encore plus difficile à accentuer librement. C'est pourquoi certains joueurs de harpe très qualifiés ont dit qu'ils doutent qu'il est possible de jouer jazz sur la harpe. Richard Hunter n'est pas d'accord. Il se spécialise en musique à l'Université de Harvard, avant de travailler avec une variété de groupes de jazz et de roches. Il dit de 'Jazz harpe': ' Il est censé s'inspirer des harmonicistes à atteindre pour les mêmes buts que leurs homologues sur d'autres instruments '.
