Fantasy for Harp
Stephen Dodgson

The Fantasy for Harp was written in 1952 at the invitation of Maria Korchinska, and was first performed by her that year at a Macnaghten Concert in London. It is skilfully written for the harp, as throughout the piece the composer, restricting himself to only a few modes, has created music of tremendous variety. This means that there are very few pedal changes during the course of the piece.

Although Stephen Dodgson has written a certain amount of vocal music, the bulk of his composition so far has been instrumental. He has written extensively for the harp. There is a Capriccio and Finak which he wrote for the Wigmore Ensemble (sextet), a Duo (1958) for flute and harp, and a Ballade (1969) for solo harp. His second guitar concerto (1972) contains a very important part for the harp.
