Major late classical solo work for pedal harp

A large scale work in late classical era style. Classic 19th century harmonic language. Several pedal changes. Three movements: I. Allegro Agitato, II. Andantino, III. Rondo. The Andantino is charming and would be approachable by an intermediate level harpist, but the outer movements contain extended scale passages, cross finger placements and other figures typical in 19th century keyboard style music which are not easy to play cleanly up to tempo. As the composer was a harpist, these passages are at least written with eight finger technique so they are entirely playable. 20 pages.

McDonald, S & Wood, L., Haiku for the Harp

Item Price: $15.00

Shipping: Prorated Gift Wrap Options

Solos introducing non-traditional notation, improvisation

A delightful set of twelve solos inspired by the Japanese poem form, traditionally based on themes of the natural world. Non-traditional playing techniques such as "thunder glissandi", preparing the harp with paper in-between the strings, glisses above the bridge pins and many more are introduced. Some of these are "performance pieces" requiring the player to get up from the harp and move around the harp or verbalize the poetry. A fun and engaging change from the traditional repertoire - these pieces offer different challenges and ask the performer to enter the creative process. Only one piece has pedal changes, the rest could be played on a 36 string lever harp with a few small changes. Highly recommended for players of all ages! All music composed by Susan McDonald and Linda Wood. 38 pages.

Includes:
A stray cat Asleep on the roof In the spring rain
A flash of lightning! The sound of dew Dripping down the bamboo
Sacred music at night; Into the bonfires Flutter the tinted leaves
Being chased, The firefly Hides in the moon
Sweeping the garden, The snow is forgetting By the broom
Striking the fly, I hit also A flowering plant
The sparrows Are playing hide and seek Among the tea flowers
The old pind; A frog jumps in, The sound of water
After the moon-viewing, My shadow walking home Along with me
Even among insects, in this world, Some are good at singing, Some bad
Dance from one blade of grass To another, Pearls of dew
Distant lights; There they live This autumn night
