Harps and harp music have enjoyed a renaissance over the past century and today can be heard in a broad array of musical contexts. Guide to the Contemporary Harp is a comprehensive resource that examines the vibrant present-day landscape of the harp. The authors explore the instrument from all angles, beginning with organology; moving through composition, notation, and playing techniques; and concluding with the contemporary repertoire for the harp. The rapid diversification in these areas of harp performance is the result of both technological innovations in harp making, which have produced the electric harp and MIDI harp, and innovative composers and players. These new instruments and techniques have broadened the concept of what is possible and what constitutes harp music for today. Guide to the Contemporary Harp is an essential guide for any harpist looking to push the instrument and its music to new heights.

Excerpt from L'étude Moderne De La Harpe: Considérations Générales Sur L'instrument, Avec Cinq Études Poëtiques Pour Harpe Seule; Modern Study of the Harp, General Survey of the Instrument, With Five Poetical Studies for the Harp Alone Regarding harpists, the aim of these studies is to offer them something of a decisively musical nature, by means of which they will accustom themselves to the different details of a mechanical order, to the art of phrasing, and to the multiple sonorities of their instrument. These studies can be employed by novices as well as by virtuosi. Harpists of little experience will find in every measure something which will advantageously replace the contents of uninteresting and tiresome books of exercises. They must pay no attention to the metronomic signs, which are meant only for those who intend to play these works in public. Individually, these studies are not restricted to the technical peculiarities suggested by their titles. Each one contains chords of various kinds and har monic tones (double and single), so that one can de ve10p several types of technique from the same study.

The Psalms generated more biblical commentary from early Christians than any other book of the Hebrew and Christian canon. While advances have been made in our understanding of the early Christian preoccupation with this book and the traditions employed to interpret it, no study on the Psalms traditions exists that can serve as a solid academic point of entry into the field. This collection of essays by distinguished patristic and biblical scholars fills this lacuna. It not only introduces readers to the main primary sources but also addresses the unavoidable interpretive issues present in the secondary literature. The essays in The Harp of Prophecy represent some of the very best scholarly approaches to the study of early Christian exegesis, bringing new interpretations to bear on the work of influential early Christian authorities such as Athanasius, Augustine, and Basil of Caesarea. Subjects that receive detailed study include the dynamics of early Christian political power, gender expressions, and the ancient conversation between Christian, Jewish, and Greek philosophical traditions. The essays and bibliographic materials enable readers to locate and read the early Christian sources for themselves and also serve to introduce the various interdisciplinary methods and perspectives that are currently brought to bear on early Christian psalm exegesis. Students and scholars of theology and biblical studies will be led in new directions of thought and interpretation by these innovative studies.
