SPECIAL THANKS to the BETA TEAM!
When you purchase the music you’ll see a list of the amazing musicians who helped me edit this music to make it more readable and playable for YOU! These harpists from all around the world, of many different playing levels, sent me videos, PDFs and bullet lists of suggestions to help me hone my conception of the piece and bring it to you. Thank you so much to everyone on the Beta Team for this project!!
Here’s what harpists like YOU say about this arrangement
Watch Performances of this Arrangement
Watch these videos to hear harpists from the creative “Beta” team perform the piece. These are some of the videos this creative team made to help me see if I’d written what I wanted to hear effectively – and these musicians and others on the team helped me hone the written arrangement to make it more readable and playable. Thank you Beta Team! (You’ll see them all listed in the sheet music itself)
This story and performance from Robbin Gordon-Cartier’s life (above) is about an unusual trip to Ireland to play for an unexpected audience – and it’s this story that inspired me to create this new arrangement for her shows and speaking engagements. Visit Robbin’s Website to learn more about her, the music she plays and the programs she offers.
The video above by Chanah Ambuter is one of the videos I received to help me see if what I wrote on the page is what I wanted to hear. This shows an earlier version of the music – and you can perform it this way by leaving out many of the arpeggios on the sheet music. You can see, from Chana’s performance that it’s just as effective without many of the ‘fill’ arpeggios. Visit Chana’s Website to learn more about her, the music she plays and the programs she offers.
This second video by Chanah Ambuter is a performance of the final version of the piece which includes more arpeggio fills than the first version she played. You’ll get tips on how to play it either way on the sheet music itself. Visit Chana’s Website to learn more about her, the music she plays and the programs she offers.
