A Little Angel

A big sound for little harps - for 26-string harps and more.  Another Meg Robinson original for harp and voice.  Great repertoire for coffee shop performances!  This is a sweet tune with a lovely message.  Please feel free to click on the samples to see and hear.  The mp3 file is provided by Meg Robinson, performed by her! The harp part is easy enough for you to be able to multi-task (sing along)!

Walking in the Air by Blake/Krimmel

Howard Blake composed this number for the 1982 animated film "The Snowman". This is a multi-tasker, with different solo versions, a harp duet, and lead sheet with lyrics and melody.  Harp One of the duet can be played on lever harp, Harp Two is more suitable for pedal harp. The melody line could easily be picked up by a vocalist, or played on violin or flute for still other variations. Has harmonics and accidentals, except for the simplified harp solo. Spiral bound, 20 pages. ALL HARPS, MULTIPLE LEVELS.

Four Celtic Songs Book/CD

Four Celtic Songs by Joanna Mell is a collection of four original songs in the ancient Irish harper's tradition of three styles:  Suantrai (lullaby music); Geantrai (music for merriment); and Goltrai (music for lamentation), plus a newly composed setting of an eleventh-century monastic text.  The arrangements are set up in solo and duet versions.  The music is clearly laid out on the page and easy to read.  The pieces are perfect for the solo harper who sings, or for the harper who enjoys working with a vocalist.  The pieces range in difficulty from easy/beginner to

Wayfaring Stranger

Mermaids

 

 

 

Carol Wood has created yet another super work for harp and voice, with several harp solos.

From Carol: Mermaids and their kindred water spirits such as naiads, lorelei, and sirens are often musical creatures. They sing and even play harps or lyres in our myths, art, and poetry, like the nereids in Walter de la Mare’s "Sunk Lyonesse." A collection of harp music about mermaids, therefore, seemed like an attractive idea to me.
