Whom angels greet with anthem sweet, Good Christian, fear: for sinners here While shepherds watch are keeping? The silent Word is pleading; This, this is Christ, the King; Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; The Cross be born for me, for you; Haste, haste to bring Him laud, Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary! The Babe, the Son of Mary! 3. So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come peasant, king to own Him; The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

1St Time Charm! Master’S Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano
Fall 2008 1st Time Charm! Master’s Student Jeremy Wilson Wins a Position in the Vienna Philharmonic Fortepiano Exciting Acquisition— a First for the College of Music rriving in spring 2007 from the McNulty workshop in the Czech Republic, this gorgeous fortepiano, an 1805 Walter und Sohn copy, Ahas already become an important educational and performance tool within the College of Music. Many, many thanks are due to Professor Emeritus Michael Collins, philanthropist Paul Voertman and the National Endowment for the Arts for their generosity that enabled us to purchase this instrument. One of its most interesting uses has been the recording project planned in conjunction with an upcoming book by UNT musicology alumnus James “Chip” Parsons, Professor of Music at Missouri State University and a former student of Professor Collins. A-R Editions will publish Dr. Parsons’ book on early alternate settings of Schiller’s poem “An die Freude” (heard in the famous last movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony). The accompanying CD, coordinated by UNT faculty Elvia Puccinelli, will include selections based on the facsimile scores included in the book.

This is the third conference held in St. Paul, primarily because of its large number of lovely college campuses. The 75 members of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Harp Society have been preparing this conference for three years and sincerely hope we can make your visit comfortable, educational, and inspiring. St. Paul is the Capitol City of Minnesota and as such has much history behind it. The Sioux Indians lived in what is now the St. Paul area long before white people arrived. In 1819 the United States Army established Fort St. Anthony in a temporary building. Between 1820 and 1822, American soldiers under Colonel Josiah Snelling built Fort St. Anthony as a permanent fort. The fort covered a large area on the West Bank of the Mississippi River and soon attracted settlers.

Fall 2021 Folk Harp Journal Article on the Joropo Genre
Arpa By Patrice Fisher and Friends Joropo is a Latin American musical genre, which originated in Venezuela. The word itself means fiesta or party. The feel is like a waltz, in 3/4 time, but more syncopated and polyrhythmic. I don’t pretend to be an expert on Joropo, but fell in love with this genre many years ago, when I participated in a music festival in Caracas, Venezuela. The best part of the festival was the Jopportunity to listen to all the other musicians who were performing there. This experience was the inspiration for my composition, “Joropo Para Lili,” on page 43. Even though my tune is not a traditional Joropo, the arrangement was influenced by the music that I heard in Venezuela. I created a virtual class on how to play “Joropo Para Lili” and the video is on my Patrice Fisher and Arpa YouTube page. As well as a playlist of some of my favorite harpists playing in Joropo Style. I reached out to four of my Latin American harpist friends to try to gain a better understanding of the Joropo genre, so that I could share this wonderful genre with you. Hopefully, you’ll learn more about the Joropo genre from the perspectives of many harpists in this article. This beautiful music often features harpists in a leading role. You can find many examples, by searching for some Alfredo Rolando Ortiz, of the mentioned links or artists names on YouTube. Angel Tolosa, and Patrice Fisher at Listen for yourself and I hope that you can incorporate a Somerset Harp Festival in 2019.
