LIstesso tempo V. Maestoso VI. Vigorosamente VII. Molto piú lento VIII. Vivo risoluto IX. Lento, tempo di Barcaruola X. Como un preludio XI. Fuga Finishing on the main theme “A Tempo,” this wonderful work is an amazing piece to include in a concert or a recital. Carlos Salzedo (1885-1961) was a French harpist and composer who wrote and transcribed numerous pieces for the harp. He also wrote some pedagogical publications for harpists.

Composed for the pedal harp, The Wet Garden is a piece written by Jacques de la Presle, dedicated to Marcel Grandjany. Introduced by a poem by Henri de Régnier which is about the falling rain and a wet garden, this piece starts by some natural harmonies symbolising the sound of the rain and some glissandi. The first movement then starts followed by some variations along the piece. Really lyrical, this work is a delight to play and to listen to but requires some advanced skills and a good technique to be interpreted perfectly. Jacques de la Presle (1888-1969) is a French professor and composer. He won the Second Prix de Rome and composed notable pieces for organ.

There is one C# lever change in the 3rd verse. Fingerings and chord symbols are included. The lyrics printed in the music are David Monks' English translation. The original Irish Gaelic and a phonetic version are included on the last page. This beautiful Celtic carol will be a wonderful addition to your Christmas repertoire.

Composed for pedal harp, Towards the Fountain in the Woods is a piece for advanced players composed by Marcel Tournier. Including some pedal changes, the piece starts played by the right hand interpreting the water coming from the fountain, with really fasts notes giving a feeling of an enchanted world. The left hand completes this part with natural harmonies and the piece then follows with glissandos before coming back to the initial theme. This melodious piece is really gracious and will be nice to play and to listen to. Marcel Tournier (1879-1951) was a French harpist, composer and professor, who wrote many pieces that are now part of the repertoire and that extended the technical capacities of this instrument.

Say Something is an original song by the American duo A Great Big World. The lyrics are about letting go when a relationship ends. It became an international hit when Christina Aguilera joined A Great Big World on a re-recorded version in 2013. Sylvia Woods has made a 4-page advanced beginner to intermediate arrangement, playable on either lever or pedal harp. This music features a pedal point (also called a pedal note or pedal tone), which is a sustained or continually repeated note that is held constant while harmonies change in other parts. A pedal point is usually found in the bass, but here it is in the middle register. Virtually every measure includes a middle C note on the downbeat. Sometimes it is played with the right hand, and at other times with the left. But it is almost always there. This pedal point harmony is what originally drew me into this beautiful piece of music the first time I heard it on the radio. The music is in the key of C, and no sharping levers are required, as there are no lever changes. Fingerings, lyrics and chord symbols are included. The harp range required is 24 strings from a low C up to an E. It can be played on 24-string to 26-string harps with a C as the lowest string if you play both hands an octave higher than written.
