Pisgah Sleeps

Scroll down to listen.

Kathleen Blackwell-Plank’s “Pisgah Sleeps” is for solo lever or pedal harp with optional voice. The melody of this restful piece rises and falls like gentle breathing and explores a variety of harp tone colors. Left-hand harmonics, glissandi, arpeggios, and occasional rolled chords are used throughout. The lyrics are inspired by Blackwell-Plank’s abiding love of the Pisgah National Forest of the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina.

This piece is available as a PDF download for $5.00.
