Música escrita para el arpa de pedales por compositores colombianossegunda mitad del siglo XX

Abstract

This text, which is part of an extensive research work on the history of the pedal harp in Colombia, presents as a chronological catalogue, the musical works written for this instrument by Colombian composers, in the second half of the twentieth century. It includes detailed information of the musical pieces: release dates, editing and/or recording and as a pedagogical and musical contribution, it provides a brief analysis and the level of difficulty of some of the pieces. It is a pioneering work, being the first catalogue developed for this instrument in the country and contributes to the enrichment of the literature of the harp, not only in Ibero-America, but at world level. As a musicological contribution, it is important because it reflects the musical identity of the country through the instrument and shares the historical legacy of this art, of the musicians, interpreters and composers.
