Paris, 1899. As the turn of the new century approached, the vibrant city of light was abuzz with artistic fervor, its streets echoing with the footsteps of visionaries and dreamers. Against this backdrop of burgeoning creativity, a group of composers emerged, each destined to leave an indelible mark on the history of French music.

Among these luminaries was Claude Debussy, whose compositions, through a new use of harmony and timbre, seemed to conjure the very essence of Impressionist paintings. 

Maurice Ravel, a master of orchestration, composed music that was a mirror reflecting the elegance and opulence of the Art Nouveau movement, a marriage of intricate design and sumptuous melodies.

Gabriel Fauré, a bridge between Romanticism and Modernism, wrote delicate melodies that spoke to the heart. His compositions, imbued with a poignant simplicity, carried a sense of longing and introspection, much like the delicate lines of a Lalique glasswork.

These lever harp arrangements, designed for a limited string configuration of 26 strings (from C to g''), offer an accessible yet musically satisfying experience. 

The intentionally simplified level of difficulty ensures that harpists of varying skill levels can engage with these compositions, embarking on a voyage through the harmonies and aesthetics that defined a pivotal era in French musical history. The resonant timbre of the harp becomes an ideal medium for channeling the spirit of Impressionism and Art Nouveau, allowing performers to capture the essence of these compositions and share them with audiences seeking an authentic connection to the past.

A Merry French Christmas - French carols for small harp

Beyond the usual Christmas carols 

there is a vast territory of little-known traditional songs, 

but no less fascinating than the more famous ones.

This book will take you to the discovery of new French Christmas melodies, collected and arranged in rondo and sonatina form.

The pieces, suitable for late beginners, can be performed on a small harp (19/22 strings, lower note G) and a few very simple lever changes are required (B flat, F sharp, C sharp). Fingerings are included in the score.

The French folk repertoire is particularly rich and varied: from the north to the south of the country, each region has its own styles and characteristics.

The Christmas atmosphere develops in a choice of songs from the archaic style to the more joyful ones.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: ANDANTINO from Concerto K299 - arranged for flute and lever (or pedal) harp

 

The Concerto for flute, harp and orchestra K.299 is certainly a work which, thanks to its beauty, has conquered a permanent place in recitals and concert programs. Furthermore, being the only piece written for the harp by Mozart, it is a cornerstone of the literature and repertoire of every harpist. 

The present arrangement of the second movement, a lovely Andantino, offers performers the opportunity to play the piece as a duo, without any orchestral or piano accompaniment. The harp part is adapted to the lever harp with almost no modification of the original. The flute part can also be played with splendid effect on a violin.

Playful Variations on "Happy Birthday" for Harp

This set of fun variations will take you through different musical styles and quotes from the repertoire, for a fun-tastic celebration of any friend's birthday. Of medium-advanced difficulty, they are playable on lever or pedal harp. 

The book also includes a simplified and technically less demanding version. 

After a driving introduction, the musical theme "Happy birthday to you" is presented in a simple and concise way. Var. 1 (Classique) is in the style of Mozart, with delicate Rococo embellishments and a simple modulation to the dominant. Var. 2 (Fantasque) is inspired by Hasselmans' Follets and explores the special effects of the harp technique. Without pause we move on to Var. 3, a passionate Tango with a central section modulating to the minor key. Var. 4 is a waltz with references to the cadenza from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, Strauss's Blauen Donau and Hasselmans' Petite Valse. The dance movement turns into Var.5 (Recitative) which offers a moment of calm and reflection, on elaborate impressionist harmonies. After a transition similar to the intro, Var. 6, a lively ragtime, concludes the set in a joyful party atmosphere.

Ten Romantic Adagios for the wedding ceremony and other occasions

Ten Romantic Adagios for the wedding ceremony and other occasions
arranged for small lever harp and a melodic instrument, with an optional bass line

This volume contains ten adagios suitable for the wedding ceremony and other secular or religious occasions. The songs are chosen not only among the most famous and loved but also among the least known, for their great artistic and emotional value. 

The arrangement work was inspired by the practicality and flexibility that the situation often requires and each piece can be played by different instrumental ensembles. 

The main melodic part can be played by any treble instrument and text has been included for vocal pieces. 

The accompaniment part was conceived for small lever harp (the low G is the lowest note) and is of intermediate difficulty but very effective. It can also be played by other types of harp or keyboard instruments. 

An optional bass part is provided. It is not essential but gives a richer tone to the ensemble. 

The score and the parts are sold separately. The parts are available in three different keys: C, B flat, E flat. 

CONTENTS: 

Johann Sebastian BACH - Air on the G string 

Johann Sebastian BACH - Arioso from BWV 1056

François Joseph Naderman (1781-1835) was a classic harpist, composer and teacher of the period after the French revolution. Very famous in his time, he became the first harp professor at conservatoire de Paris, starting the glorious French school of harp.

His works are regarded as some of the most important pieces in the harp repertoire today. Especially the seven progressive sonatas op. 92 are frequently studied, played and recorded.

For their usefulness and didactic effectiveness, and for their high artistic quality, I selected some works by Naderman and I arranged them for the lever harp.

As my intent is eminently practical and not at all historical or philological, I took some liberty in rearranging the pieces, changing some harmonic progression and adding some passages and cadences to simplify the lever changes. The fingerings for these varied passages are written in the score.

Obviously I recommend that you compare my arrangements with the original score, on which you will find all Naderman's fingerings and, of course, the music in its original form.

The complete collection includes five volumes:

Part 1: 4 intermediate Etudes from L'école de la harpe, op. 91

Part 2: 4 advanced Etudes from L'école de la harpe, op. 91

Part 3: 3 Sonatas op. 19

Part 4: 3 Sonatas from 7 sonates progressives op. 92

Part 5: 3 Rondos from 7 sonates progressives op. 92

The five books are available at LULU.com (click here)

Paraphrase on Hasselmans' LA SOURCE - for lever harp

Paraphrase on Hasselmans' LA SOURCE for lever harp 

A cornerstone in the pedal harp literature, a favorite of all harpists, now playable on lever harp! 

"La Source" is a cornerstone in the pedal harp literature. Written in 1898 by the Belgian-born French composer Alphonse Hasselmans, this etude has become a favorite of all harpists, thanks to its tender melody and its rich and luscious harmonies. 

Now you can also play it on a lever harp. This paraphrase preserves the two principal themes, the first in F major and the second in D minor. The sections with the wider modulations are rewritten using original fragments rearranged in a new order. The accompaniment is slightly simplified into arpeggiated triplets. 

Very few lever changes are required. Inside the book you will also find a reduced score (melody with chords symbols) printed on only two pages. This is a useful reminder tool for your study sessions and performances.

Danny Boy and other songs - arranged for lever harp

 

Written for lever or pedal harp these arrangements are highly evocative and with a full and rich sound, far beyond the usual standard editions for beginners. Nonetheless they are quite easy at playing and suitable for amateurs who can easily learn and enjoy them. 

The collection includes a selection of the most popular and loved melodies from harp repertoire, elaborated in different ways: 

Danny Boy (Londonderry air) is written in the form of a romanza. 

Searching for Lambs is an impromptu with variations. 

Three Scottish Miniatures includes The Water is Wide, Loch Lomond and Blue Bells of Scotland, each song preceded by an introduction and followed by a variation. 

Country Gardens is in the form of a classical rondo. 

These arrangements are also particularly useful for studying harp techniques such harmonics, downward arpeggios, big rolled chords and so on. Few lever changes are required only in Country Gardens. They are also fantastic pieces for a student recital or an encore for professional musicians.
