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.

Whizzing,
growling and rattling
– you can produce
all kinds of sounds with
the harp, not just the
fairy-tale shimmer and
glissandos that you first
think of. Lotta
Wennäkoski composed
Sigla for harp and
orchestra (2021-2022) in
close collaboration with
the harpist Sivan Magen,
to whom the concerto is
dedicated. The title of
the concerto, Sigla, has
different meanings in
different languages. In
Italian, it means a
jingle; in Icelandic, it
means sailing; and in
Tagalog, spoken in the
Philippines, it means
vivaciousness or
enthusiasm. Wennäkoski
has not specifically
referenced these in the
movements of the concerto
as such, but she does
allow that the various
meanings of the word may
be identified with the
music according to the
listener’s
perception.
The
recording of the work
(Ondine ODE1420-2) was
premiered with the
Gramophone award as the
the best release in the
contemporary category in
October 2023.
This
product is the solo
