DHC / Wales International Festival

FRI. APR. 9, 2010 - Caernarfon, Wales - Project Description

Flute - Clarinet - Percussion - String Quartet - Bass & Harp Soloists:
Amanda Whiting • Eleanor Turner • Deborah Henson-Conant

In 2006 we received a Grammy Nomination for "Invention & Alchemy" - a CD of music for harp soloist and orchestra. Prior to recording wih full orchestra, I made Chamber Ensemble arrangements of each piece, musical "miniatures" we performed and recorded twice to prepare for the final recording with full orchestra.

In 2009, CAMAC Harp Company and the International Harp Festival in Wales invited me to perform some of these 'miniatures' as the launch for publication of my new series Chamber Music publications featuring harp soloists. The debut concert for this project is April 9, 2010 in Caernarfon, Wales (Deborah Henson-Conant - March 2010)

PLAYERS: Below are parts, study scores, audio and video for the April 9th concert. These are study parts. It's likely I'll update them in the next week or so - or we may use these verbatim for the concert -- or I may make last-minute changes just before rehearsals begin.

- The latest versions will always be available for you - the players - to download from this page.
- They shuld all print on letter-size paper.
- If I add any substantial material to your part, I'll let you know in advance.
- If you have questions, email me at: info@HipHarp.com (but after April 3rd, I'll be gone so if you have questions, email ASAP - thanks!)

PROJECT STATUS: 3/22/10: Added Danger Zone & 996 parts (which were not linked properly), "Minstrel" for Fl/Hrp, and updated program order. Still working to get study scores on line, and am updating parts and will put them on line as they're done (or we'll use the study parts). 3/16/10: almost all parts and videos are online below. I'm still trying to get all study scores on line.Then I'll start updating the scores & parts and try to get midi "playback" files up. The "links" in red are the ones that aren't linked yet - the red shows me what's missing.

AUDIO PLAYER (JUKEBOX):
CLICK HERE for a jukebox you should be able to easily listen to online.
PLEASE NOTE: The audio is not Chamber Ensemble -- it's likely either a studio recording with midi-instruments or a recording with full orchestra. There's video of the actual chamber ensemble versions, but no audio recordings.

CUTS: It's possible that there may be cuts in the audio that don't match your part -- so ignore any cuts in the audio and go with what's on your part..

MP3s for playback ("New Blues" in particular):
Check below to see if there are downloadable playback files for any of the pieces, especially Ensemble harpists, check for a "New Blues" MP3 below.
