Apart from the technical aspect that is to the fore, Hosokawa also opens the listener's eyes to the soft Impressionist color of Japanese poetry: a cherry blossom celebration, a lullaby-and again and again an approach to the sound of the koto, the traditional Japanese zither.

French composer, organist and opera director Marcel Samuel Rousseau (1882-1955) studied at the Paris Conservatoire and won the Prix de Rome in 1905. He is best remembered for his operas, however his other compositions have not gone amiss, Pastoral Variations on an Old Noel being no exception. Rosseau was highly influenced by Gabriel Fauré and he was an expert in chromatic harmony, often seeking to evoke a strong sense of the dramatic in his works. These features are prominent in Pastoral Variations on an Old Noel, which beings with a calm theme before developing into eight contrasting variations and a conclusion. For all intermediate to advanced harpists, Rousseau's Pastoral Variations on an Old Noel is an essential alternative addition to the repertoire.

J.S. Bach (1685-1750) is one of the most famous composers ever to have lived.

Bach is a collection of 24 preludes and fugues in all 24 major and minor keys, composed and intended as studies. Generally, the collection is regarded as being among the most influential works in the history of Western classical music. Therefore, Renié's arrangement of ten of the preludes is unmissable to all aspiring, advanced harpists.

This companion CD will assist harp players in learning the pieces in the 52 Scottish Songs for All Harps book. Since many will want to “play along” as they learn, Sylvia has recorded most of the pieces slower than they are usually played and as “straight” as possible with little or no expression or rhythmic variations. Each piece has two arrangements: (A) an easy version, and (B) one that is more difficult. On these recordings Sylvia plays version A directly followed by version B. Since the two versions can be played as a duet, you can play either version along with the recording. The companion CD includes all the pieces from the book and in the same order.
