[katie-lynch-koglin]

I need to brainstorm and was wondering what ideas everony else has.

Hi Katie,

I suggest:

Great list, for high school/youth orchestra I’d add Mahler 1, Mussorgsky Night on Bare Mountain, Vaughan Williams Greensleeves and maybe also the Wasps. Elgar Sea Pictures (with mezzo soprano though).

[frances-duffy]

I would add Copland Appalachian Spring Suite.

[Calista Anne Koch]

The list is actually pretty endless (as far as harp parts go), but here is a problem I’ve encountered – the youth orchestra, where I have 2 students, is not able to play alot of the student harp repitoire like Night on Bald Mt. or even Carmen.

Could you email me your list of harp parts?

Here’s my email: karen@sweetcello.com

Thank you!

Pat,

Could you please send

Whilst the Wasps is a great piece, I love it, it’s too advanced for a junior orchestra and certainly needs a pedal harp and an experienced player, with a lot of preparation necessary. Alison
