Dance for Tigi Harp (Deborah Ethier) Based on the idea of a Mesopotamian hand-held harp that had bells attached to its boat-shaped body. May be played as a solo or in ensemble, with bells as percussion.
$1.25
Andante from the Mandolin Concerto (Vivaldi, arr. Ethier) A lovely piece from the Double Mandolin Concerto. There are lever flips (and D# is required). For two harps. Intermediate.
$1.25
Zarambeques and Chaconas (Ribayaz, arr. Ethier) Based on two pieces from "Luz y Norte" (1677). For three harps. Parts range from late beginner to Intermediate.
$1.25
"Buwa's Lullaby" (Deborah Ethier) Originally written for a one-woman play based on Mesopotamian sources. A lovely, though melancholy, lullaby for voice and harp or harps.
$1.25
"Spiral Dance" (Deborah Ethier) This piece (in a more elaborate version) is featured on my CD "strata". Four parts: in C with no lever changes. The parts vary in difficulty, but there are parts for beginners through to intermediate.
$1.25
"Celtic Inter/lace" This piece uses two traditional Celtic pieces, "Drowsy Maggie" and "Chanter", and adds a new tune of my own, "Tortugas". The piece can begin with each part being played in succession with the bass pattern and then adding the parts together until all three tunes are being played simultaneously. Requires the Bb two below middle C, but only one or two harps in the ensemble would require this as it is in the bass accompaniment pattern. There are parts suitable for beginners to intermediate. This can be a really fun piece!
