Gretchen- I forgot to answer your question. The whole collection is from pieces that are either currently in print, or were in print but I don’t think are now. In choosing these pieces, I wanted, as I said above, to make the pieces immediately accessible. I wanted to do this so that harpists who may have never played Tournier before, or certainly not these pieces, would not be overwhelmed trying to figure out how to play the notes. Here’s the list of pieces I chose:
Au Matin
Offrande
Vers la source dans le bois
Berceuse Russe
La Voliere magique
Eternal Reveur
Lolita la danseuse
Cloches sous la neige
Claire de lune sur l’etang du parc
Jazz-Band
Do you know all of these pieces? I’ve used many but not all of them in recital. They’re all just gorgeous. Several of them are quite easy technically. But Tournier makes enormous demands on the player as concerns the musical nuance.
