The Paekākāriki Blues

Michelle Velvin’s The Paekākāriki Blues (The Coral Blues) is for solo pedal harp. This piece was inspired by both Deborah Henson-Conant’s solo harp work New Blues, and the vibrant and virtuoso harmonica player Coral Trimmer. “Coral Trimmer and I first performed together as soloists with the Kapiti Concert Orchestra performing the second movement of Dorothea Franchi’s Concertino for harmonica, harp and strings in 2020,” says Velvin. This fun piece is approximately grade 8 level.
