Product Description

Ibert's Six Pieces for Harp were published in 1917, shortly after the composer's graduation from the Paris Conservatoire. He was a successful composer, writing for a variety of instruments including the Harp, such as his Six Pieces. Despite his studies being interrupted by WWI, Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) won the Grand Prix de Rome on his first attempt, proving his ability from a young age. Ibert enjoyed tackling all styles & form of modernity with equal success. His Six Pieces for Harp display frequent changes of tempo, time signature & key signature, as well as the use of complex rhythms & varied articulation. The Six Pieces have a continuous, romantic theme, set near water; 1. Morning on the water, 2. Scherzetto, 3. Boat in the evening, 4. Ballad, 5. Reflections in the water, & 6. Fantasy. Ibert's Six Pieces are evocative & creative, suitable for all intermediate- to advanced-level harpists.
