harPoetry : For You

11 new harPoems : The EK IS EIK CD - produced by international critically acclaimed Dutch composer/harpist Anne Vanschothorst - was released in 2014 via NAXOS distribution and the prestigious US record label PARMA recordings. Three years later, springtime 2017, she launches a new project : “Beautiful World” with so called harPoems for her indielabel HSM (harp and soul music). Eleven musical landscapes for small band. According to Anne music is poetry, poetry music and existential. With these harPoems she has the intent to speak an universal language that expresses universal thoughts, emotions and feelings. Anne explains : “In my harPoems time, space and silence are essential, like a heartfelt poem that touches the soul ; sometimes I have the desire to escape as it were into the music.. another reality, into a world of beauty and consolation. Maybe the listener wants to join me ..”

How my cloud rider took lady Ferrus as it were .. i am on continuously on a sound search, a longing to find that beautiful and touching voice .. and i found out about Diana Ferrus through Ingrid Jonker on youtube. Every once and a while i watch the Ingrid Jonker documentary Korreltjie niks is my dood and in the recommendations was a poetry video about Saartje Baartman mentioned recited by Diana Ferrus. So i started following Diana on twitter and facebook. And yesterday i was called as it were to search on soundcloud for her voice. Because i wanted to see if there would be a hq recording of one of Diana's poems. And there it was "Letters", such a heartfelt and profound poem. I recognized my music, my sound-story - harPoem - about the Cloudrider in the poem. It matched perfectly, i did not have to change my music or the poetry to make it work. How wondrous!

About the Cloudrider

It all began with Museum Boijmans van Beuningen asking me to make music for a sound installation inspired by Lyrisches by Kandinsky.

What strikes me in this picture (lyrisches by Wassily Kandinsky) are the blue and red of the clouds and self-sure posture of the green rider and the movement of the horse's manes .. drawn in just a few lines with an amazing drive and passion. The colors and the seemingly simple playful way of painting give a sense of urgency. I have the feeling that the rider wants to rise above the earthly and maybe he wants to jump out of the actual painting in due time. - I wanted to capture this idea of escape in music. It begins with a run-up, the movement of my harp sounds become faster and faster – just like a rider who wants to jump, then holds his breath for a split second and takes the plunge. The rider is transcending – he is in the clouds, the time stands still, a dream come true .. the rider is one with his horse, at full gallop and freedom of movement they ride through the clouds to flee reality. After the jump one can hear a slightly dissonant harp sound that gives room and relief to end up in a meditation. How I wish this bliss could be never-ending. This melancholia suits me and touches me to the core. This amen or resolution is clearly my perception. My emotional life. As a musician I love to become one with the music. Such a tremendous joy to be in my world of harp and soul, a wonderful world of beauty and consolation. The dreamy and esoteric are to me an escape – like a painter who steps into his painting and disappears – that is how Kandinsky's rider could jump into infinity – he has become one with my last sounding harp tone.

Diana Ferrus / Letters + Anne Vanschothorst / harp

Rehearsal for the premiere in March, 2013 at the Muziekgebouw, Amsterdam. Ere Lievonen, Fokker (31-tone) organ; Mikko Perkola, viola da gamba.

The introductory fanfare uses a 9-note scale (3+4+3+4+3+4+3+4+3=31 steps) in the so called Orwell temperament. The toccata is in extended meantone, making much use of septimal and neutral intervals, 1/5-tones, as well as commas that 31EDO tempers out, such as 176/175.

The viola da gamba is tuned as follows: The 7 strings are tuned to the standard A1-D-G-c-e-a-d1 (with meantone fourths). The seven frets are placed so that the pitches on the A strings are as follows: (A) Bb B C C# Cx D# E (= 3-2-3-2-2-3-3 steps of 31), enabling 21 pitches out of 31.
