From the composer:
“The various parts of the harp ensemble don’t have fixed roles in Willi Maerz’s arrangements, but each player gets a fair share of main melody, contrapuntal elements and accompaniment. Through his system of ‘Democratic Arrangement’ the author aims to achieve a sound which is always flexible and three dimensional whilst avoiding any monotonous routine for the performers.
“It was in the context of the 2018 National Conference of the American Harp society that I was very fortunate to meet Sue und Ray Mooers, founders of the Dusty Strings company. The vibrant sound of their harps was very exciting to me and we quickly became friends. And when they invited me to give a course in musical arranging in Seattle, I needed a suitable present for my hosts. And what might be a present that a producer of lever harps would enjoy? Of course! a composition for a lever harp ensemble. For its title I intended to use the name of a place beloved and treasured by my hosts. And when I asked what such a place might be for them Ray answered ‘My Home.’ I immediately understood why when I was guest at Sue and Ray’s house a few weeks later. I would have answered the same!”
