'La harpe de mélodie' is a vocal composition by Jacob Senleches from the 2nd half of the 14th century. It is a virelai which words praise the harps 'as an instrument of delight, beautiful to hear and see' That is why I chose this title. The duets are meant for beginning harpers to give them an idea of the character of the music during the ages between the 12th and the 20th century. Most pieces are traditional. The last piece is a fantasy based on the harp-parts (1 pedal parp + 2 non-pedal harps) of the 'Amsterdam Cantata' by the Dutch composer Hans Kox, written in 1985 at the occasion of the European Year of Music.

Sabien herself writes the following about this book:

I chose a book in duet form because I've noticed in recent years that our best harp literature as a supplement to use. But there is also a more personal reason for this: my heart is in the chamber music together and I think the best there is. For students and amateurs, I combined the highest: it is educational, musically interesting and just plain fun!

Because not everyone at all times a duet partner, behind the hand, I tried the Parties as independent as possible. Harp 1 is always easier (approximately A level), Harp 2 (about B level), but both parties have both melody and accompaniment. My ambition is that the nomination only pieces that you can practice with the CD. The titles and texts Harpologie Duets are as international as possible so that the book is as usable in Dutch as in for example French and German-speaking countries.

The illustrations are again written by Hanneke van Broekhoven. For the real Harpo sound technology "has Remko Kühne this time ten packages put on CD. Each track with a harp (a harp which left and right Harp 2 is mixed, so you can choose what you need) and a karaoke track.

Titles:

Honkytonk blues, El Pantaléon, In de zevende hemel, Tulpentango, Fata Morgana, Nocturne, Fantaisie, Ik wil, ik wil wat jij niet wilt, Melancholica di luna, Hommage.

For two harps (pedal or lever), fifteen elegant, stately melodies from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Adapted from popular dance tunes, keyboard works and lute songs of the 16th and early 17th centuries. Freely harmonized, they capture the flavor of the period. The "primo" harp part can stand alone as a solo arrangement, while the "secondo" harp part is designed to enhance and fill out the first part. Composers are Gervaise, Dowland, Praetorius, Morley, Arbeau, Caroubel, and the ever popular "Anonymous". INTERMEDIATE LEVER OR PEDAL

Six tunes arranged for a duo of pedal harp and lever harp. Wi' A Hundred Pipers, Annie Laurie, Hail to the Chief, John Anderson My Jo, The Campbells are Comin', Loch Lomond. The pedal (teacher) part is written in the spirit of parlor music of a century ago. It is lush and arpeggiated, easily sight read by the advanced harpist, and of intermediate difficulty, with the student part in small cue notes. The student (easy) part compliments the teacher part, and consists mainly of the melody. Single notes in both hands, no chords, very easy, some drones in the left hand. The right hand plays quite high, so a knowledge of notes above the treble staff is necessary. There are also some scale passages. Dynamics and fingerings are marked. Each tune is written to segue into the next, making it a very nice recital piece. Comes with a teacher part and a student part, each spiral bound for easy page turns.
