A collection of three colorful pieces written by Canadian harpist Andrew Chan.
Prophecy [lever or pedal harp]
This expressive, magical interlude is perfect for the gigging harpist to perform for various settings on either lever or pedal harp. This soothing music is also an excellent repertoire choice for the intermediate student to develop technique, evenness and sensitivity…
That Night I Dreamt of Samurai [pedal harp]
The original intention of this composition was a response to the request of the composer’s young student for a “cool” piece to play…a poem was created with which each measure of the piece can be traced back to a story-line accordingly. It is an effective choice for professionals to use especially for storytelling or children concert…The audience will be captivated by the exotic melodies, as well as the harp’s various special effects like glissando, harmonics, guitar-like (pdlt), falling hail, whistle, gong, and the use of enharmonic and syncopation.
Jasmine Flower Fantasia [pedal harp]
Inspired by the folk song Jasmine Flower, a famous ancient Chinese melody previously used by Puccini in his opera Turandot, as well as being featured by the Olympic Games, this composition showcases the harp virtuosity with grand chords, rapid arpeggios, bell-like harmonics, sweeping glissandi, exotic scales, expressive trills, a wide range of dynamics and a triumphant ending. An impressive piece to use as the finale or encore for recitals by both professionals and advanced pedal harp students.”

Applauded by the National Post as “a rare charisma,” Canadian harpist Andrew Chan has performed across Canada, the USA, and China. Active as an orchestral, solo and chamber musician, he passionately promotes the appreciation of the harp in both of his performance and teaching. Enthusiastic to expand the harp’s repertoire, he works with Canadian composers closely, premiering and advocating new works such as Illuminatum for Two Harps and Men’s Chorus by Constantine Caravassilis, as well as his Hiraeth for Solo Harp and Orchestra. He was invited to present Caravassilis’ Three Dances for Ocyrrhoe for two harps at the World Harp Congress 2017 in Hong Kong. He is the director of the Harps on the Hill Centre in Toronto and founded Harp Sinfonia. His enthusiastic pedagogy has allowed many of his students to become winners of awards and scholarships in Canada. Visiting students have come from around Canada, the USA, and Asia.
