Mit und ohne Haken — Harp parcours
From 22 February to 22 February Switzerland / Basel
3 locations | 3 mini-concerts
Between winter air and warm lights: a journey through the St. Alban quarter, featuring solo harp music in three cozy, intimate locations. The Renaissance was a period of remarkable developments for the harp family: the instruments became larger, their sound evolved—among other things through the increased use of buzzing hooks – and early attempts were made to develop a fully chromatic harp.
The “Harp Parcours” leads to three performers and thereby three sound worlds of the Renaissance harp:
- Claire Piganiol – The Gothic bray harp, with repertoire from the Welsh Ap Huw manuscript, one of the very few sources that transmits playing techniques and repertoire specifically for the late medieval harp.
- Carolin Margraf – The early arpa doppia, the two-row chromatic harp, featuring instrumental music and diminutions from a Polish source dating to the mid-16th century
- Flora Papadopoulos – The arpa doppia a tre ordini, with courtly music from the Kingdom of Naples around 1600
