A really beautiful collection of original melodies. Sweet titles, sweet pieces by William Mahan, who is an architect, painter, musician and jewelry maker. Each title reflects a type of flower in Claude Monet's garden from an artist's and musician's viewpoint. Bass lines are busy but not difficult, some syncopation in a few melodies, nice harmonies and chords. There are a couple of accidentals in Spanish Red Poppies but the arranger gives ample time to flip levers.

Titles are: Monet's Garden, Bellagio in Bloom, Wildflowers of Gettysburg (contains the Civil War tune, Lorena), Dingle a Bloomin', Spanish Red Poppies, Sweet William Waltz, The Flowered Music Box, Dance of the Sunflowers

Beautiful original melodies with a distinct Spanish flair. Most songs in meter of 3 or 6, two in 4. F, G, and C levers are the only levers needed.

Gentle and flowing, you'll find a lyric right hand melody supported by lush chords. Truly inspired, these compositions can be used for any type of situation: for yourself, for healing music, for background music, for recitals. The music is not difficult, but the left hand does require some crossing over and under. True to the Italian flavor, some of the melodies incorporate triplet and mordent ornamentation. There are a few lever changes, some fingerings are included. All music is written in keys of either C or G. The final tune, All the Colors of Rome, a 5-minute plus performance piece, is gorgeous.

Titles: Bellagio Blue, Warm Sienna, Sicilian Scarlet, Tuscan Gold, Venetian Red, Naples Yellow, Vatican Violet, All the Colors of Rome.

A collection of gentle original melodies playable on lever or pedal harp. Spring Prelude, key of C is in ¾ time,with a very sweet melody. Just One Kiss of Spring is in 4/4 key of G, slow with a few large rolled major 7th chords. Spring Clouds is in 6/8, key of A minor, fairly moving with a key change to F. There is also a C# lever change. Rain is in E minor, almost monotonous and excellent for meditation. An April Lullaby, in G and ¾, is marked ?tenderly,?. Good Morning to May, in G and ¾, is a lovely slow and simple tune. Here?s to June, in 4/4, key of G, has more drive than the preceding tunes. Spring Nocturne, in C and 4/4, is very simple to play, with only a few full chords. Although a few low notes are found here and there, all of these pieces can easily be adapted to a harp with 29 strings or even 26.
