(Advanced version for pedal harp only). $17.95 Order
online
Deborah
says: "This is my most recent
arrangement. It includes
three versions -- from simple to advanced.
The "advanced" arrangement is suitable for concert
performance and includes the fiery flamenco cadenza
written out the way I play it myself. The
book also contains two other versions, both playable
on lever harp (in Eb) -- and one of the versions
is simple enough for intermediate beginners! I'm
proud I was able to create arrangements for every
level of player so that now everyone can enjoy playing
this piece as much as
I have!" |
For
LEVER or PEDAL |
The
Nightingale (for harp solo or harp & voice
/ lever or pedal harps). This is Deborah's
top-selling sheet music. It includes five
versions of "The Nightingale," from
Beginner to Advanced, for harps in Eb or C, some
versions for harp instrumental and some for voice
& harp. $12.50

my most-requested tune, and often performed and
recorded by other harpists from Korea to Germany!" |

Nataliana (for
pedal & lever harps) is a Malagueña-like
romantic concert piece for intermediate to
advanced players. $8.50 Order
online
Deborah
says: "This was the first
piece I ever wrote for harp. I was so taken
with the a handbuilt lever harp my friend Natalie
had, that I wanted to write a professional-level
concert piece
I could
play
on
it. This piece
has no lever or pedal changes, but it's very challenging
and very romantic and passionate!
I also love playing on pedal harp,
because you can play
it in
Ab-minor - which
is the richest, most resonant key for pedal harp." |
For
LEVER or PEDAL |
New Blues (for
pedal & lever harps) is a bluesy theme
and variation for intermediate to advanced
players. $7.50 Order

Deborah
says: "This was the first
Blues-ish piece I wrote for harp, and it's more
of a Be-bop Blues - very upbeat. It's
fun to play and a big crowd-pleaser." |

Danny
Boy (for concert/pedal harp) is Deborah's
arrangement of the traditional classic. $5.00 Order
online
Deborah
says: "I
always loved this tune and the story behind it,
and enjoyed reharmonizing the simple melody. This
is an early arrangement of mine for solo
pedal harp, from the days before I knew how to
play lever harp). This arrangement
for pedal harp players is a great
"alternative version" that tends a little
more toward the harmonies of a jazz ballad." |
For
PEDAL HARP only |
Fur
Elise (for concert/pedal harp) is
Deborah's arrangement of one of Beethoven's
most haunting melodies. $6.50 Order
online
Deborah
says: "When
I was little, my mother used to play "Für
Elise"
on the piano. I loved the piece and as soon
as I could, I tried to play it on the harp. There
was just one problem: right at the climax of the
piece
is a swift chromatic run. Argh! But I loved
this simple, beautiful piece so much I just had
to play it. So I used the theme of the melody
to create a new descending run that's easy to play
on the harp, and voilá, I could finally
enjoy playing the piece I'd always heard my mother
play!" |

PEDAL HARP only

Wedding
Tunes (for concert/pedal harp) is perfect

for those ceremonies that have trouble starting.
$9.50 Order

Deborah
says: "When
I first started playing the harp, I was often hired
to play for weddings. I loved it! It was
like real-life musical theater. My favorite
part was playing processional, and my goal was
to have no dry eye in the house! I discovered
the most difficult moment was
when
the
bride was about to come out .. and then she wouldn't! So
when I wrote this arrangement, I built in a special
expandable section of glissandos to play while
waiting for the bride! |

Amplification Kit (for
harpists and other instrumentalists) -
includes everything you need to turn your
harp (or piano, or nylon-string guitar,
or dobro, or dulcimer, or kalimba!) into
an electro-acoustic instrument! Includes
pre-amp, transducer (aka "pickup"),
cables, instructions, and Deborah's book "The
First Edition of The Gurl's Guide to Amplification
for the Gurl in Everyone". Inside
the guide are some of things that DHC has
learned about sound amplification and definitions
for some of the words that will help you
communicate about sound equipment. $365.00 includes
book. Add $12 for priority shipping and
handling. PLEASE
NOTE: In order to use this kit, you will still
need either an amplifier or a PA system. If
you are using a PA system, you may also need
a "direct box." What this system does is make
your acoustic harp into an electro-acoustic
harp -- kind of like making an acoustic guitar
into an electro-acoustic guitar. You still
need the amp -- but now YOU CAN PLUG RIGHT
IN!
