Anna Pasetti - Christmas Harp Music (2022)

Christmas has always been a source of inspiration for musicians, and this harp album contains many Christmas pieces and famous melodies.
Charles Bochsa (1789–1856) wrote much harp music, including his Fantasy on "Adeste fideles (dedicated to Clementi). Joseph Mazzinghi’s (1765–1844) Andante from Sonata, Op. 30 No. 3 consists of a series of variations on the, likely pre-existing, melody that almost a century later would become the famous song Deck the Halls. Charles Oberthür (1845–1924) was the first harp professor of the Royal Academy of Music in London. His piece Virgo Maria is based on the ancient Marian hymn O Sanctissima. Unlike other tracks, Edmund Schüecker's (1860–1911) Weihnachtslied is not inspired by any traditional Christmas melody. His other didactic compositions are well known and still used in conservatories, unlike his concert pieces.
