Contrairement aux id\u00e9es re\u00e7ues, la harpe est un instrument tr\u00e8s ancien qui n’a cess\u00e9 de se r\u00e9inventer.\u00a0Instrument d’Apollon, qui se serait inspir\u00e9 de l’arc de sa s\u0153ur jumelle Art\u00e9mis, la harpe viendrait en fait d’Asie Mineure o\u00f9 elle serait apparue environ 3000 ans avant J.C. Utilis\u00e9e dans la musique classique pour sa sonorit\u00e9 cristalline et \u00e9th\u00e9r\u00e9e, elle ne cessera d’\u00eatre diatonique qu’\u00e0 la fin du 17\u00e8me si\u00e8cle.<\/b>\u00a0Au 20\u00e8me si\u00e8cle, de nombreux musiciens de jazz, et surtout des musiciennes, s’en emparent. Parmi eux, la grande Dorothy Ashby bien s\u00fbr, dont le\u00a0Afro-Harping<\/i>\u00a0fera date, mais \u00e9galement Alice Coltrane et des pionniers comme Casper Reardon ou Adele Girard, vont dramatiquement transformer son r\u00e9pertoire. Cette playlist, o\u00f9 ne figure pas le grand Harpo Marx (impossible de tout s\u00e9lectionner), met \u00e9galement \u00e0 l’honneur certaines de leurs h\u00e9riti\u00e8res et flirte avec toutes sortes de genres musicaux. Qu’on se le dise, la harpe, c’est «tendance» !<\/p>\n

Contrary to popular belief, the harp has continued to reinvent itself.\u00a0This Apollo’s instrument, which would have been inspired by the bow of his twin sister Artemis, the harp would in fact come from Asia Minor where it appeared around 3000 years BC. Used in classical music for its crystalline and ethereal sound, it will only cease to be diatonic at the end of the 17th century<\/b>. In the 20th century many jazz musicians, and especially female musicians, took up it. Among them, the great Dorothy Ashby of course, whose Afro-Harping will be a landmark, but also Alice Coltrane and pioneers like Casper Reardon or Adele Girard, will dramatically transform her repertoire. This playlist, which does not include the great Harpo Marx, also highlights some of their heirs. Let it be said, the harp is \u201ctrendy\u201d!<\/p>\n
