Harp with other instruments

The harp parts are intermediate, the cello and flute parts are nicely moving creating pleasant texture. Very enjoyable.

The titles in this collection are: March Madness, Dunfermline, Pink Peonies, Skye Boat Song and Tell Me Why. March Madness is in 7/8. It’s not hard, but you have to count it. It’s really very clever - if you’re going to sight read this one, please make sure all of your musicians are expert counters. Fortunately we were playing this through in the shop and were almost on the floor laughing because apparently we are all 7/8 challenged here. Dunfermline and Pink Peonies are lovely originals, Tell Me Why is a parlor type folk song reminiscent of Stephen Foster. Melodies. The Skye Boat Song arrangement has nice play among the instruments. The cello certainly adds so much to these arrangements. The instruments go back and forth with melody and harmony. |

This is a beautiful and compelling duet for lever harp and melody instrument. A pedal harp version is also available. The melody parts are edited for dynamics, but not phrasing. This is a mature performance piece, so your soloist will easily be able to interpret their own phrasing. Ms. Cater has a You Tube of her duo, Rosewynde, performing the Caccini at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iPrGPG-MMs - it is very artistic and well worth your time to visit and listen, and look at the beautiful pictures. The harp part is 6 pages in length and spiral bound. The melody part is a separate pullout page. A beautiful piece to play in church settings, this evocative melody, believed to be written in the late 1500's, is not familiar as an Ave Maria, thus can be used for all occasions. The lever harp version remains in the same keys all the way through,
while the pedal harp version, starting in B Flat, modulates to C at m. 41.
The melody parts to go with the lever harp score also remain in one
key. Example pages:

An unusual trio of this beautiful hymn by William M. Runyan, who wrote the melody for the words which first appeared in 1956 Baptist Hymnal: Kathryn Cater has brought the tempo down, and put the meter in 9. In the style of Debussy, it is very moving and impressive. The arrangement is simply outstanding. This arrangement contains both a pedal and lever arrangement, both upper intermediate, with accidentals. The trio instrumentation is: harp, flute and violin. There is a clarinet part included which can substitute for the violin part. The harp parts are bound in plastic spiral, the other instrumental parts are pull-out.

For flute and harp, this beautiful composition was written to honor a friend. It is intermediate level in the key of D in 4/4 time. Majestic sounding and at the same time contemplative.

The flute part is a beautiful compliment to the harp, both parts interweaving melody and harmony. There are no accidentals, and the lowest note in the harp part is low D. 4 pgs. |

DeBrita has a knack for writing great flute and harp duets. This score is five pages in length. It is intermediate in difficulty, and has 2 G# to G natural accidentals. One change could be tricky on the lever harp but can be modified. Other than that, very playable on lever harp. Lowest note is E almost 2 octaves below middle C. Beginning and ending with rolling 16th note triplets, that portion of the piece requires the ability to play very evenly. The middle section is mainly eighth note patterns in the left hand with a combination of durations in the right hand. The flute part contains quite a few whole notes interspersed with a lovely melody. The piece is in 4/4 with one measure in 2/4, key of C. Flute/Harp duet , Intermediate, All Harps. |

By Meg Robinson - here is a "solo-ette" - it can be played as a harp solo, and it also has a lovely flute part to play with a friend! In a lilting 6/8 meter and in the key of Eb, it is not difficult. There are a few open 5ths, but not majorly large chords. The RH keeps moving with eighths, dotted eighths followed by 16ths, and a few quarter notes. There are no accidentals. A very uplifting melody that will be useful all year round! See the samples and also hear the mp3 file (real flute and harp, not electronic). Although not a Christmas piece - this is uplifting and joyful and makes a nice Christmas selection, so I have put it in the Christmas category as well as the general category.
