Last Saturday St Paul Chamber Orchestra's last concert of the season featured a Frank Martin piece (see below) that included piano, harpsichord, and harp. What a joy to hear them all together! It was a sweet, melodic piece!
The Petite Symphonie Concertante of 1944/45 made Martin's international reputation and is the best known of his orchestral works.
I admit, I do love the sound of a harp!
ReplyDeleteI found it on youtube; what a beautiful piece. Thank you for introducing me to it.
ReplyDeleteHarps have always intrigued me but for some reason I think they should be played on clouds in the sky!
ReplyDeleteRe your comment on Ocala: Nope, not a covered bridge, just a plain old wooden bridge... :)
Sometimes, 'harping' on something is a very good thing. Music to the ears.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to hear this piece...
