Hello everyone,
I’m John from Brisbane, Australia. This is my fist post here as I relatively new to the harp (4 years, after being an oboist for many before that) and have been recently started playing in orchestras which I’m really enjoying.
I am playing William Walton’s Henry V Suite later in 2015 and am trying really hard to get my hands on a copy of the harp part before the library set arrives to the orchestra I’m playing it with. Kinda don’t want to see it for the first time at the first rehearsal!
Does anyone happen to have a copy of that part by any chance? It’s a little obscure I know.
Thank you so much for any help in advance!
Best regards
JohnDecember 29, 2014 at 6:03 pm #184666Elizabeth Volpé BlighParticipantI have a couple of pages of this piece, but not the whole thing.
December 29, 2014 at 6:34 pm #184680JohnBrisbaneMemberThank you so much, Elizabeth. Any page would be wonderful and I have messaged you back.
Thank you so much 🙂

December 30, 2014 at 9:42 am #184687AlisonParticipantI can help – email or friend me as I can never find others profiles…… Alison.
Also OUP hold ALL their stock in the USA somewhere perhaps they can help.December 30, 2014 at 8:32 pm #184690JohnBrisbaneMemberThank you so much, Alison. I have sent you a message 🙂
@alison-p-wilsonDecember 31, 2014 at 2:05 pm #184693Saul Davis ZlatkovskiParticipantYes, you may request the publisher send you some pages, if they refuse to make the whole part available. I don’t know if they will or not, but perhaps they will feel like being helpful.
I loved playing the harp part in Walton’s Viola Concerto. I think he is the pre-eminent British composer of the 20th century, but sadly being overshadowed by Britten.August 21, 2015 at 4:37 am #189833KathersParticipantHi I’m in the UK and have been asked to play this Walton piece at the end of October, but won’t be getting the score until mid-September. It seems quite obscure. John have you performed it yet – how did it go? Does anyone who’s played it have any tips they could give me??
Many thanksAugust 21, 2015 at 10:23 am #189839JohnBrisbaneMemberHi Kathers
Email me and I’ll send a copy. I’m rehearsing it a present. It’s got a couple of little tricky bits but it’s not too bad.
