If you print single-sided, there\u2019s no need to print the cover page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Errata<\/strong>: Do not play in m. 75, 76, 77 &amp; 78. Those measures are tacet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Key \/ Levers \/ Pedals<\/strong>: Even though the piece is in Bb, make sure you raise your G(s) to G#. So your key signature is: Bb Eb and G#. Once you set your harp up that way, there should be NO lever or pedal changes through the whole piece.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00a0For lever harps in Eb,<\/strong> just raise G\u2019s and A\u2019s.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00a0Tempo \/ Meter: <\/strong>The meter is 12\/8 so the metronome beats 4 to every bar &#8212; and every beat is subdivided into 3 (kind of like 4 triplets in each bar)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Doubling \/ Simplifying: <\/strong>Most of the melody is doubled in octaves. If you\u2019re more of a beginner and need to play only one line, that\u2019s fine. Don\u2019t worry about playing absolutely everything. What\u2019s important is to play \u201cwith\u201d the ensemble, so even if you play just the first note of the faster runs, it\u2019s fine &#8212; more advanced players will play the rest, and your one note will add important emphasis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>12-Bar Blues Form: <\/strong>The normal 12-Bar Blues starts at Letter C. Before then, the piece is a kind of modified Blues form. At letter D, you &#8220;lay out&#8221; (are tacet) for 12 bars (or maybe 24, or 36) &#8212; just like you would in the Blues if players were taking \u201csolos.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Count-in: <\/strong>On the playback-mp3 there are two measures of of count-in and you come in on an upbeat, so you\u2019ll hear the following beats (but not these words): One-Two-Three-Four | One-Two-Three And Your In! In performance we may have a musical introduction, but I&#8217;ll also count it in loud and clear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.26.6&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Sheet Music<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hipharp.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/26-NewBlues2010Hrp.pdf\">Sheet Music<\/a>:<\/strong> Print Back-to-Back starting with the cover page to facilitate page turns<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hipharp.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/NewBluesfor2-wclick.mp3\">MP3 Audio File #1<\/a>:<\/strong> With midi instruments.
