1. MEET THE HARP STARS : OSIAN ELLIS I am very thankful to receive this amazing video about Maestro OSIAN ELLIS, the harpist who inspired Benjamin Britten to write famous Suite for harp and other compositions. When I was organising the 1st Worldwide Online Harp Congres, I wanted to have Maestro Ellis for the interview, but unfortunately it was not possiuble for him. You were able to listen to his perfomance during the 3rd World Harp Congress (http•••) And in these days I received this video, which introduce this wonderful artist to all of you not only as a great harpist but also as the composer with new composition, which Maestro Ellis just published in these days. You can odrer the composition at the link mentioned at the end of the video. This video is the most wonderful meeting of one of the HARP STARS ! MEET THE STAR : OSIAN ELLIS ! Lachrymae - a new work for solo harp composed by internationally renowned Welsh harpist Osian Ellis. Listen to Osian himself performing the music in this new, exclusive video. The work is published by Cwmni Cyhoeddi Gwynn Publishing and the sheet music available to download from www.gwynn.co.uk The work is presented in memory of Llinos, and was composed at a most distressing time while she was being treated in hospital for cancer and while her mother, Glynis, sat with her, day and night, until her death in November 2018, at the age of 39. This newly composed piece reflects stress and pain, but also reflects the ebb of life and memories of childhood. Osian Ellis is regarded not only as an international harpist of high acclaim but also as one of the most notable musicians of the 20th century. At the age of seventeen he was awarded the Joseph Parry Scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music, London, and was later appointed Professor of Harp there, a post he held for over 30 years. In 1960 he was appointed as Principal Harp of the London Symphony Orchestra, and the next 30 years would see him performing extensively with the orchestra and also as a soloist and chamber harpist with the renowned Melos Ensemble. Many leading composers, including Benjamin Britten, William Mathias and Alun Hoddinott composed works especially for him. For further information: •••@•••

L'Australien Arthur Benjamin commença à six ans sa carrière de pianiste concertiste. Il vint à Londres pour se perfectionner avec Frederick Cliffe et apprit la composition avec Charles Stanford, tous deux professeurs au Royal College of Music. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale Arthur Benjamin combattit dans le Bataillon des Royal Fusiliers, puis dans le Royal Flying Corps. Son avion ayant été abattu au-dessus de Berlin, il demeura prisonnier dans un camp. Après la guerre il retourna en Australie où il devint professeur de piano au NSW State Conservatorium of Music, à Sidney. En 1921 le voici professeur au Royal College of Music de Londres où il a pour élèves Muir Mathieson, Stanley Bate, Alun Hoddinott et Benjamin Britten (et pour élève privé John Carmichael). Il créa à Londres la « Rhapsody in Blue » de George Gershwin. L'on retiendra de l'œuvre d'Arthur Benjamin la « Pastoral Fantasy, for string quartet » (1924) ; la « Rhapsody on Negro Themes » (1919) ; le « Concertino for piano and orchestra » (1927) ; « Light Music suite » (1928) ; le « Violin Concerto » (1932) ; l'« Overture to an Italian Comedy » (1937) ; « Cotillon Suite » (1938) ; « Romantic Fantasy for Violin, Viola and orchestra » (1938) ; « Two Jamaican Pieces » (1938 ; la seconde pièce, "Jamaican Rumba", a connu d'innombrables adaptations) ; « Prelude to Holiday » (1941) ; « Oboe Concerto on themes of Cimarosa » (1942 ; ce concerto est souvent attribué à Cimarosa, alors que Benjamin a arrangé et orchestré quatre morceaux pour clavecin de Cimarosa) ; le « Piano Concerto "quasi une fantasia" » (1949) ; le ballet « Orlando's Silver Wedding » (1951) et « Harmonica Concerto » (1953) écrit pour Larry Adler. Il est aussi l'auteur de quatre opéras, de plusieurs musiques de films et d'une cantate, « Storm Clouds », qui eut l'honneur d'être jouée en 1956, sous la direction de Bernard Herrmann, dans le film d'Alfred Hitchcok « The Man Who knew Too Much/L'homme qui en savait trop » (Benjamin était déjà le compositeur de la musique de la première version du film réalisée par Hitchcock en 1934).
