I just got my sheet music from Cecile’s website from France yesterday.

I love this song as well. Do you play it with her fingering? I only stopped making mistakes when I got rid of her fingering. The muffling in the second bit was interesting to learn as well. On her cd it sounds like a percussive buzz which was difficult to replicate since we are used to attempting to minimize buzz.

You two have peaked my curosity! I’m always on the lookout for great harp music to learn.

Is this piece suitable for lever harp…or for pedal only?

Thanks…Holly

yes it’s for lever harp, the only place I could find the music is on her website.

I am obsessed with, and would love to find the sheet music for “Six Ribbons” by Jon English, but have been unsuccessful in my search.

Thanks Deb, I actually tried that website numerous times, even signed up, emailed the person who has that sheet music, with the offer of a trad, and nothing happened, but thanks anyway!…..Gloria

I did ask her (you can see my post there) and she said she would send me her version and never did, and I’m not into “bugging”…but may ask her one more time… and, thanks anyway!

Helen, do you use Cecile Corbel’s fingering when she does the ornamentation of repeatedly plucking the A string in the first part of Valse de Ondines all with the second finger?

Besides New Blues by Deborah Henson-Conant, you can try Latin Groove by John Metras, Epices (two volumes) by Bernard Andres, and Easy Swing by Jakez Francois (there’s a nice little ragtime piece in that collection)
