Rhythm for Harp (LHS)

CASTELLUCCI, S. & MILLS, V.
LHS
Product ID – 701055-700

$20.00

Rhythm for Harp re-released in 2020 with downloadable sound file examples of the exercises!

Stella Castellucci and Verlye Mills‘ original collection is a student’s staple and a teacher’s treasure! This original 1973 publication, revised in 2020, comes with downloadable sound files from the original recordings performed by Castellucci and Mills. These studies and solos demonstrate the harp’s use in Latin, blues, jazz, bossa nova and rock. This collection includes 16 studies and 6 original solos in contrasting styles. 

“In writing the materials for this book, we had in mind its potential usefulness to both the student and professional harpist in the fields of commercial recording and solo work. Perhaps the professional orchestrator and arranger will find workable material here. We have attempted to offer updated, fresh illustrations of the harp’s use in Latin, Blues, Jazz, Bossa Nova, and Rock. It is hoped that the examples here will serve merely as guidelines for the harpist’s own creativity in these styles of popular music.” ~Castellucci & Mills

Her talents were soon discovered, leading to an eight-year association with famed singer Peggy lee.
