The Minstrel’s Adieu to His Native Land

$8.00

Darhon Rees-Rohrbacher’s version of John Thomas’s The Minstrel’s Adieu to His Native Land is for solo lever or pedal harp. This work features a theme with four variations, showcasing different harp techniques. Rees-Rohrbacher says the work “was conceived for the pedal harp in the key of C-flat but could also be played on a triple harp in the key of C-natural. In order to adapt it to the lever harp, some adjustments needed to be made such as elimination of some left-hand notes to facilitate lever changes and a few note alterations. I also made a few changes in note values and beaming in order to make the work easier to read on the page. However, I left most of Thomas’ work intact.” Dynamic markings, fingerings, metronome markings, 8va indications, and instructions are provided for ease of performance.

This piece is available as a PDF download for $8.00.

Pages to print: 14 pgs.

Description

Note from the arranger

The minimum harp range required to play this arrangement exactly as written is 34 strings: from low C to high A. For lever harps tuned in Eb, Bb, F, or C major.

In order to adapt this work to a 34-string lever harp, some of the arpeggios had to be “shortened” near the end of variation 4 by eliminating 8va indications. If performers own a large lever harp that is able to play the full range, they should feel free to adjust the arpeggios.

Lever changes are indicated by both diamond-shaped note heads and the octave number of the strings.
