For the first 50 years that I played the harp, I never gave a harp a name. Then last year I bought my first new harp, a Lyon & Healy Style 150. The mahogany finish inspired me to start calling it Ruby and the name stuck. I have an ancient Style 22 also; it’s referred to as Old Gold. I never thought of myself as a harp namer — until now.
Luck’s Music Library carries the study score for $21.00. You can order online. It would be nicer to be able to buy the part, but it’s better than nothing!
Write your own parts! The conductor might have a piano reduction you could use. It’s easy to add glisses. You could listen to the recordings to see where the quiet passages are, then add rolled chords or arpeggios. Sometimes you can double a part for glockenspiel or vibes. You can take liberties with pop repertoire! Have fun!
