Simon Holt's the man in the wind and the west moon was composed for Solo Harp in 2013 having been commissioned by The Tanza Trust. The piece takes its title from a line in a DylanThomas poem named 'And death shall have no dominion'. The four sections of the work see shifting harmonies throughout with the first section repeating but also changing ever so subtly. The unique thing about the piece is thateach section is dynamically different but is left open to interpretation by the player.  The man in the wind and the west moon was first performed on the2nd of June 2014 at Milton Court Concert Hall in London by Alex Rider. The piece lasts around 7 minutes and the bottom C and D strings should be tuned to C# and D# respectively.

Six Studies is a set of six studies for Pedal Harps by Eric Schmidt. Reviewed and edited by Pierre Jamet a French Professor at the Paris Conservatoire this set would be ideal for an upper intermediate level and above. Most studies are two pages long and enable the player to work on different technical aspects:  I. Allegro (3/4 tempo 120) II. Vivace (4/4 tempo 132) – It focuses finger flexibility with a set: 4-1-3-1-2-1-3-1-4 for the right hand III. Lento (3/4 tempo 48) – It focuses on arpeggios IV. Andante con moto (3/4 tempo 92) - It has thesame aim as the second study but includes chords to play on “1” V. Con Bravura (6/8) – This is a work on chords which has few pedal changes VI. Leggiero Volante (4/4) – Longer than the other studies it also focuses on developing fingers flexibility and features some glissando and some pedal changes

Par . Peut-on jouer des morceaux de musique actuelle sur un instrument traditionnel comme la harpe ? Bien sûr que oui ! Et pas seulement la harpe à pédales classique, mais aussi la harpe à crochets (ou « harpe celtique »), plus petite et plus maniable, dont l\'étonnante palette sonore ne cesse de gagner en notoriété. La harpiste et professeure de harpe Anne Kox-Schindelin propose ici 14 titres populaires de musique pop de ces dernières décennies. Ses arrangements sont parfaitement adaptés aux possibilités de la harpe à crochets à 34 cordes et conviennent tout autant à la harpe à pédales. Ils viennent ainsi combler une véritable lacune dans le répertoire de la harpe ! / Date parution : 2022-06-14/ Recueil / Harpe
