About this exposition

As a Slovenian harpist studying at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, I felt called to focus my research on Slovenian harp literature of the 20th century, in the hope that it will create more awareness and interest for it. In this research, I focused mainly on the works of three composers. Harp playing in Slovenia is not as long a tradition as other instruments do. The first work written for solo harp that I found dates back to 1954 – Concerto for Harp and Orchestra by Lucijan Marija Škerjanc. The next Slovenian composer who wrote music for harp was a student of Škerjanc, Zvonimir Ciglič. Here I focused on his Concertino for harp and string orchestra. While doing the research I looked for parallels with European literature for the harp. In the case of the Concertino, I found it in Debussy's Dances for Harp and String Orchestra. I studied both parts intensively and compared them. Alojz Srebotnjak is perhaps the most famous and represented Slovenian composer worldwide. His Harp Preludes are the most frequently performed work of a Slovenian author for the harp. In addition to literature and historical facts, during this research, I was greatly helped by the suggestions both composers gave to my mother, who also performed these works. I paid most attention to finding information about the works I presented. I relied on the advice of my mother and recordings that I found. In addition, radio shows with artist interviews were very helpful. I hope other colleagues will find this research interesting in other musical works.
