It was his charming wife Raphaele, a fine harpist, who drew Serge Lancen's attention to the harp. He has written various works for this instrument, such as: 'Pour Raphaele', 'Duo Concertant' for harp and flute, 'Crepuscule' for two harps, 'Concerto Champetre' for solo harp and chamber orchestra, and many pieces in a lighter vein for harp quintet and this Harp Concerto. The initial cadenza was inspired by Camille Saint-Saens Second Piano Concerto a work which Serge Lancen studied as a young boy. The Harp Concerto can be played with a symphonic band, a string orchestra or the piano. This work, dedicated to his wife, was premiered in July 1990 during the First Le Havre International Wind Band Festival , by Marie-Pierre Cochereau and the Le Havre Municipal Symphonic Band, conducted by Philippe Langlet.
