Chertok, P., Around the Clock Suite
This suite for pedal harp by harpist Pearl Chertok (1918-1981) incorporates elegant classical traditions with contemporary harp techniques and jazz rhythms. With introductory sections to each piece that describe the extramusical inspiration for the work, this collection is a perfect choice for intermediate-advanced pedal harpists looking for something a little different to incorporate into their repertoire. 15 pages, pedal changes are marked. Movements I. Ten Past Two II. Beige Nocturne III. Harpicide at Midnight IV. The Morning After "Ten Past Two" or "Harpicide at Midnight" were part of the required repertoire for the Junior Division of the AHS 22nd National Competition, held June 25-28, 2017 at St. Olaf College, Northfield MN. This work is required for the Second Stage of the 20th International Harp Contest in Israel in October 2018.
