Par MEGEVAND DENISE. As a student of famous harpist Lily Laskine, Denise Megevand (1917-2004) received high quality musical education and was significantly instrumental in the revival of the Celtic Harp. She compiled numerous, prolific books for the instrument, Play and Learn the Celtic Harp being no exception. The Celtic Harp characteristically has metal strings, and is notoriously challenging to play. However, Megevand 's Play and Learn the Celtic Harp provides excellent and clear instruction to progression on the instrument. The book addresses general principles of the Celtic Harp, intervals, arpeggios, chords and scales, as well as including 13 pieces. For all aspiring players of the Celtic Harp, Megevand 's Play and Learn the Celtic Harp provides excellent insight and instruction for beginners./ Méthode / Harpe

Par TOURNIER MARCEL. Thème Et Variations by Marcel Tournier is a piece for advanced Harp players. Starting with a main theme of arpeggiated chords, the piece then follows with a number of variations, including chords, arpeggios, glissandos, and numerous nuances and speed variations. The piece starts in Allegro moderato, then evolving to Allegretto, Allegretto Scherzando, sometimes more energetic or quieter. This piece is great to master speed, flexibility and agility as well as the different types of nuances. Marcel Tournier (1879-1951) was a French Harpist and teacher.

Par RENIE HENRIETTE. With few studies in existence for the Harp, Henriette Reine 's Complete Method of the Harp fills a large gap. Comprising two volumes, the first addresses the fudamentals of technique. Renie (1875-1956) was a deeply religious woman who lived in poverty for much of her life. She was a highly accomplished harpist and composer, yet she had little triumph due to success being socially unacceptable for women at the time. Reine 's Complete Method of the Harp was written during WWII and remains widely used to this day. Aspects of technique covered in the first volume include, pedalling, fingering, chords, scales, harmonics, arpeggios, intervals, hand placement and glissandos, among other elements. Moreover, a helpfully labelled diagram of the Harp is included. Renie 's Complete Method of the Harp is an essential accompaniment to all Harp studies. / Niveau : Débutant / Méthode / Méthode / Harpe
