Haiku for the Harp

MCDONALD, S./WOOD, L.
Product ID – 705570-300

$22.00

Difficulty Level Advanced, Intermediate
Harp Type Pedal Harp
Accompaniment Solo Collections

“Haiku is Japanese poetry that points to small moments in nature which were meaningful to the poet. Each poem contains seventeen (5-7-5) fixed syllables and a reference to the seasons of the year.

In this collection, twelve Haiku have been used as settings for the short studies and pieces.  The music is designed to provide training in some of the techniques commonly used by 20th century composers such as complex rhythms, changing meters, extra-digital techniques, the use of accessories, and improvisation.  It is hoped that the comfortable acquaintance with these skills will encourage young harpists to perform new music and to enjoy it.

Because of the very few pedal changes, most of the pieces are adaptable to the Troubadour [lever] harp…

A glossary of symbols used and how they are to be executed appears in the back of the book.  Instructions also appear in each piece for quick and specific reference.”

— S. McDonald & L. Wood
