Hi, Jerusha:

I’m working on The Minstrel’s Adieu to His Native Land by John Thomas and the Canon in D by Pachelbel (which I’ve avoided for years, not sure why, except it’s done so much!). Also want to work on the Meditation from Thais by Massenet. Just got all my music re-organized so finding stuff I didn’t know I had!

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks, Jerusha! A previous arrangement I came up with is the Intermezzo from Delius’s “Fennimore and Gerda.” I was able to get all the subtle chords from a reduction by Eric Fenby transcribed for oboe, cello, and piano. One day when things slow down (haha) I’m going to put everything down on paper!

Hi Philippa,

Glad to hear that things are progressing well with these pieces!

I’m not familiar with “Music Box”.

Hi Andy!

I’ve never learned “Minstrel’s Adieu”.

Hi Steven!

I don’t think that I’ve heard Intermezzo from Delius’s “Fennimore and Gerda”.

For my lessons I’m working on Danses d’ automne #3, Rigaudon from Automates (all by Bernard Andres) and Gigue from Petite Suite by Grandjany. That suite is really interesting, by the way! The music is rather easy but it was actually written for pedal harp (I play it on the lever harp) so I get introduced to a lot of new harmonic ideas that aren’t usually present in music for the lever harp.

I hope I will be able to start on the Minstrel’s Adieu (I’ve already tried a few pages of the lever harp version) soon!

My iPad, with a program/app called Forscore. All my music is on there… Blugrass, contra, Irish, etc. I’m editing each tune to hilite the chords and note oddball fingerings as needed. Love playing ‘Turkey in the Straw’ on harp!

Rutter music, awesome! I really like his choral works and I hope I’ll one day be able to play the harp part in his Requiem… 🙂 I assume you’ll be performing with a choir?

Hi CC,

What lever harp version are you using for “Minstrel’s”?

Dot,

It’s cool that all of your music is on an iPad.

Hi Philly,

Is this the “Music Box” that you’re learning?

I’m probably going to learn the lever harp arrangement…I have both, but since I play on both lever and pedal, it’ll probably be easier to learn the one arrangement and only have to worry with the pedal/lever change differences…

It’s interesting that you visualize things like that.
