Description
Eight original compositions for lever harp. Chords are indicated in every piece. LOWER INTERMEDIATE TO INTERMEDIATE, ALL HARPS.
Contents:
- Anjuli’s Lullaby – Key of G, no lever changes, 2 pages, G” to d’ (fits perfectly on a 23 string if played an octave up), lower intermediate (easy if a flute plays the melody!), relatively slow, repetitive left hand 1/8 note pattern with simple 1/4 note right hand
- Waltz for Elizabeth – Key of G, no lever changes, 2 pages, G” to e’, lower intermediate, up tempo, includes a couple of 4/4 measures for rhythmic surprise
- Cradle Song – Key of G, no lever changes, 2 pages, D” to B (36-string harp), lower intermediate, running arpegiated chords in left hand, optional vocal part included
- Ellen – Key of C, no lever changes, 2 pages, C” to g” (36-string harp), upper beginner, slow, good to teach dynamics and expression, theme with four variations
- A Composition for Carol – Key of C, four lever changes (two up, two down), 2 pages, C” to g’ (36-string harp), intermediate, has a baroque feel to it, a few measures take a while to get your fingers around
- Interlude – Key of C, two lever changes (one up, one down), 1 page, C’ to g’ (26-string would work), lower intermediate, mostly arpegiated 7th chords in left hand with 3rds in right hand, a bit of syncopation
- Dancing in My Dreams – Key of D, no lever changes, 3 pages, D” to a” (36-string harp), intermediate, the tricky part is some ornamentation and special damping in the center section
- Tara – One version in the key of G and one in the key of Eb, no lever changes, 3 pages, 36-string harp, lower intermediate, lots of room for musical interpretation
