Lever Harp - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1287455 Composed by Darhon Rees-Rohrbacher. 20th Century,21st Century,Celtic,Early Music,Irish,Multicultural,World. Score. 22 pages. Afghan Press Music for the Harp #878476. Published by Afghan Press Music for the Harp (A0.1287455). Seven Original Compositions In Varied Styles Based On Seven Modal Scales For All Harps (Lever or Pedal) With Guitar ChordsTable of Contents1. Ionian Intonation 12. Dorian Delight 33. Phrygian Phrolic 54. Lydian Lilt 75. Mixolydian Mirth 96. Aeolian Aire 117. Locrian Lament 13These tunes may be played on lever harps with an Eb, Bb, F, or C tuning or on any pedal harp. All tunes were typeset to fit exactly on two facing pages to eliminate any page turns within a piece. If desired, the length of each piece can be lengthened by repeating some sections; section divisions are indicated by light double bar lines. Many people are unaccustomed to hearing tunes based on modes other than the Ionian or Aeolian. Therefore, you may find some of the melodic contours or harmonies to be unusual, unexpected, or even uncomfortable. There are only three lever changes in this entire book â€“ and they all occur on the last note of the piece. Guitar chords are included so that the melody may be played by any C instrument, accompanied by chords on harp, lute, guitar, or keyboard. Also, the transcribed harp part can be played on any keyboard instrument with only minoradjustments.Dynamics, fingering, and metronome markings are provided throughout as an aid to performance. However, the harper should use whatever dynamics, fingerings, and tempos suit them, no matter what this book indicates! The maximum range needed for each piece is only 26 strings (3.5 octaves) from low C to high G. Therefore, it can be played on a small harp encompassing that range. Simply treat the C two octaves below middle C as the lowest C on your harp and adjust the octaves accordingly. Ignore any 8va indications and shorten glissandos as needed.

Leith Glass Harp

Nine Traditional Tunes from Ireland, Scotland and England Arranged for Lever Harp. C…(+)

Nine Traditional Tunes from Ireland, Scotland and England Arranged for Lever Harp. Composed by Frances Thiele. Harp: Folk and Pedal. Celtic / Irish. E-book. Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music #30745EB. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music
ISBN 9781619118560.<br> <br> At the end of the eighteenth century, Edward Bunting published a major work of Irish music called A General Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland (1797). He followed this publication with two more collections in 1809 and 1840. Many of the tunes in these books came from the harpers he heard performing at the Belfast Harp Festival in 1792. In the first part of his 1840 collection, Bunting described the anatural keya of the harp used by the Irish harpers as leith glass or leithghlas. The Irish harpers tuned their instrument in this key, which we would recognize as G major because it had an F sharp. Frances Thieleas Leith Glass explores the musical possibilities and sounds achievable with a single tuning on the lever harp. The collection includes nine traditional tunes from Ireland, Scotland and England that together give a sense of the many musical colors that can be produced from the leith glass tuning if we think modally like the harpers of old. Suitable for intermediate lever harp players, the arrangements are all playable on a 34-string lever harp with sharping levers on F and C (C# is only required for one of the pieces with accidentals a aMy Lagan Lovea). The lowest note used is C, two octaves below middle C.
