Bursitis
Definition
Bursitis is the painful inflammation of the bursa, a padlike sac found in areas subject to friction. Bursae cushion the movement between the bones, tendons and muscles near the joints. Bursitis is most often caused by repetitive movement and is known by several common names including weaver’s bottom, clergyman’s knee, and miner’s elbow, depending on the affected individual’s occupation and area of injury.The Ceremony of Carols has a section in #5, As dew in Aprille, which begins at the 11th full measure. You might watch some performances of that.
Here are some definitions, although in the CofC, it is marked forte.w.google.com/search?q=bisbigliando+definition&rlz=1C1CHNQ_enUS496US496&oq=bisbigliando+definition&aqs=chrome.0.69i57.21234j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

whispering; i.e., a special tremolo effect on the harp where a chord or note is rapidly repeated at a low volume.Sounds like he taught you well, and maybe you don’t really need a piano teacher anymore.
I can relate to your problem because many years ago, my harp teacher did the same thing. The new teacher at the university was awful, and I just hated her, so I quit playing. It took me four years to save up to buy a harp, but I did it and re-learned by myself (I couldn’t play at all after four years of not playing). I never had another teacher.
So whatever you decide to do, the world does not end…it’s just a new beginning.It almost sounds as tho you are tuning to a pitch that’s too high. What would happen if you lower everything a half step, I wonder. Since it’s a folk harp, you might not need exact pitch.
I’m glad Emily is proud of her daughter. I was an adult when I started playing, but my parents were certainly NOT proud….they thought it was a waste of time. It must be wonderful when parents are supportive!
I played it only in R hand. We just did the opera last weekend.
I practiced the BS (Bird Song) forever with short long short…long short long….fast slow fast, etc.
I practiced with the Philadelphia Orch and Pavarati CD (around 60), but ours may have been faster. I KNOW the other section of it was faster…the one that comes in after that middle stuff.The only way I could keep up (and not super cleanly) was by greasing. Carmex works really great on fingers …yeah, I know it says for cold sores…but look at the price, $1, and look at the ingredients…great stuff. It starts out pretty greasy, but the greasiness kind of goes away fast. So I greased up before that section and slid on thru.
