Guldimann, Suzanne -"The Bard's Harp"

Solo / 22 to 26 strings

€  ####

Suzanne Guldimann has researched and arranged 23 pieces of Elizabethan and Jacobean music that are believed to have originally accompanied the songs in Shakespeare's plays. The collection includes popular songs of the time that are quoted in Shakespeare's works as well as pieces thought to have been composed specifically for the plays.

All of the pieces in this collection can be performed on a harp with just two and a half octaves, or on any larger harp or melody instrument. The pieces are arranged in the keys of C and G and their relative modes/minors. However, a number of the pieces contain accidentals and require lever changes. Each piece includes historical information, chord symbols, fingering, and lyrics. 48 pages, paperbound.

Here's what Suzanne told us about her inspiration for her cover artwork.
I've always thought that Prospero had harps in mind when he talks about his magic in terms of "heavenly music," so the cover art is meant to be the summoning of the Tempest.

Includes:

Calino Custruame, Come o’er the Bourne Bessie, Farewell Dear Love, Full Fathoms Five, The God of Love, Hark, Hark the Lark, I Loathe that I Did Love, It Was a Lover and His Lass, Lawn as White as Driven Snow, Mad Tom a Bedlam, O Mistress Mine, O Sweet Oliver, Peg o’ Ramsey, The Rain It Raineth Every Day, Sigh No More, Ladies, Take, O Take Those Lips Away, There Dwelt a Man in Babylon, Three Merry Men, Walsingham, What Shall He Have?, Where the Bee, Whoop, Do Me No Harm, Willow Song

The range of the music is 2½ octaves, from a C up to a G, and can be played on most lap harps, whether their range is C to C, or G to G. Arranged for advanced beginners to intermediate harp players. Chord symbols are included so that more advanced players, and players with larger harps, can add more notes to the arrangements. Fingerings are included. Suzanne, also a fine artist, created the cover artwork and illustrations. 72 pages, paperbound.
