Featured Harp Music
Welcome to our featured harp music section! Every quarter (Spring/March, Summer/June, Autumn/September, and Winter/December) we will feature a work by one of our talented Pacific Northwest harp composers and arrangers. You are welcome to download and print a copy of this music for your personal private use. (If you wish to perform the music publicly for profit, print or publish any arrangement, or record or broadcast it, you must first contact the listed copyright holder for the appropriate permissions.)
Please Note: Beginning September 2023, Reigning Harps is using MP3 files to enable audio playback of Featured Harp Music scores. To hear playback of the tune, simply click the MP3 Audio link. To see or print out the score, use the PDF link.
Spring’s Featured Harp Music:
For this season’s featured harp music we have the two new Group Tunes being presented this month at the PSFHS Spring Folk Harp Festival. The first, Themes from the Khe Diev, is an exploration of the music of an ancient traditional Cambodian harp-like instrument, the one-stringed zither. The second, Roselil’ og Hendes Moder, is a traditional Danish humorous song in the style of a långdans, first published about 1770. Note that the Themes from the Khe Diev are notated on one or two sheets; the two sheets might be more readable in a workshop setting, but the one sheet is recommended for your PSFHS Harper’s Songbook. Also note that the MP3 sound files were recorded by the arranger, Tara O’Brien Pride, rather than by the automatic “computer harp.”
If you have a PSFHS Harpers’ Songbook, please print the tunes shown in red, below, and insert them in your binder in alphabetical order.
