Product Description
Die Zauberharfe (the Magic Harp) is a rarely performed drama work with music by Franz Schubert.
Amongst Schubert's dramatic orchestral writing there are some intimate moments of chamber music, including passages for clarinet and harp. Its extremely rare and exciting to find original material for this combination from this era, written by a composer of such standing.
In The Magic Harp Series I have taken extracts for the score where Schubert writes for clarinet and harp, to create stand-alone pieces. After his overture, Schubert opens the his work with a dramatic quasi cadenza for harp and this cadenza appears here, opening Let the Harp Sound, just as Schubert wrote it. The rest of the piece uses passages from Schuberts following two movements that I felt lent themselves to being condensed.
The other pieces in the series are:
'Palmerin's Romance' for clarinet in Bb and harp (or piano)
'The Spark Caught, the Fire Glows' for clarinet in Bb and harp (or piano)
'The Spark Caught, the Fire Glows' for clarinet in A and harp (or piano)
The pieces in the series can be performed together or separately.
