Susan Allen (harp)About
James Tenney’s (1934–2006) Harmonium No.3 (1980) brings three harps together in an ensemble that deceives the ear, sounding like a single instrument.
Alexander Tcherepnin (1899–1977) lived a musical life that spanned the globe. His music reflects his diverse experiences and the many cultures which he came in contact with during his life. Tcherepnin’s Quatre Caprices Diatoniques (1977) are brief musical bonbons originally intended for the non-pedal Breton harp. They work equally well on modern pedal harps, as played here by Ms. Allen.
Gloria Coates’ (b.1938) score for Perchance to Dream (2014) is deceptively simple. Her use of triadic harmonies and diatonic melody is modified by altering the tuning of the harp and the bowing of the vibraphone. These key characteristics create the piece’s hallmark otherworldly quality.
