Harp and Other Instrument
The Last Rose of Summer
This is a really beautiful old Irish tune, made well know by Thomas Moore, who added very poignant lyrics, and turned this into a music hall favourite for many, many years. In this arrangement the flute carries the tune throughout, and the harps, and cello (optional part) dovetails into the melody, and share the accompaniment. Only one verse written out here, but it can be repeated many times. Written for two intermediate, and one (optional) beginner harpist. $12 Includes score, parts, and audio file |
Angels Guide Thee - a song by Benjamin Godard, arranged for advanced harp duo, flute (melody) and cello.
Taken from Godard's opera "Jocelyn", this gentle lullaby , and most well remembered part of the opera, was written to be sung by a tenor. Only a couple of lever changes in the harp parts. $15 NZ Score, parts and audio file included |
The Minstrel Boy
Flute, Oboe, 2 Harps and Cello This well known song (lyrics by Thomas Moore) has been arranged for two melody instruments (oboe and flute, but this could be changed), two harps, and cello. While only one and a half minutes long (longer if you choose to play it at less of a march speed) , it could easily be repeated, with the melody instruments swapping parts and creating a different timbre. Score, parts and audio included $15 NZ |
Ma'oz Tzur and Mitt Hjerte Alltid Vanker
These two tunes are also in the Early Carol set (for mixed harp trio), but here it is arranged for flute and harp (with an optional cello part). Ma'oz Tzur is a 13th century Hebrew song (Rock of Ages) and Mitt Hjerte Alltid Vanker (My Heart Always Wanders Back to Jesus) is was written in 1732 by Father Brorson. These are two of my favourite carols ... particularly as I can play them at any time of the year and they aren't often identified as carols! $12 NZ |
Where the Bee Sucks
I love this song, and had great fun arranging it - firstly for two harps, and now for an ensemble of melody instrument, 2 harps and cello. advanced harp duet version also. There are a few lever changes for both intermediate harp parts, but nothing too nasty! Have a listen to one of many versions of this sung on you tube - it's delightful!!
