Pool, Ray, Anthology, Fifty Themes and Melodies for Every Harpist
Originally developed for students in the 'Bedsides Harp' therapy program, this collection assists harpists in the study of playing from a fake book or in lead sheet format. Ray Pool utilizes "enhanced lead sheet format," a term he defines as "educational with a performance orientation as the ultimate goal. A solo melody line and chord symbols are given the same style of a traditional 'Fake Book.' However, extra information and suggestions are provided to facilitate the performance." This collection is designed to suit the needs of any harpist looking to broaden their repertoire, but would be extremely useful to those specializing in "Harp Therapy" and public location performances. Basic Chord Theory knowledge is required. Specific Notes:
Written on a single staff, the right had plays a solo melody that is completely edited with suggested fingerings in traditional brackets.
The left hand reads from individual notes of longer rhythmic value, typically half or whole notes.
Each title is given a grade indication of *, ** or *** to indicate level of difficulty.
Key signatures are confined to C or G major and their relative minors.
Notes range from the E two strings above middle C to the C below middle C.
