*Le Cygne<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Jacqueline Pollauf<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What kind of harp and cello repertoire list would this be if we didn’t start with the quintessential duet for this ensemble? “Le Cygne” (“The Swan”) by Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns is from Le Carnaval des Animaux.\u00a0<\/em>It has become a must-have piece for cellists and harpists to learn. I especially love that Jacqueline Pollauf has arranged it to be accessible for both lever and pedal harpists.<\/p>\n

*Cranford Theme<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Star Edwards<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I never expected to love a TV show theme as much as this one. When I played it as prelude music at a wedding, the cellist and I couldn\u2019t stop smiling\u2014we were completely delighted by the melodies. Star Edwards\u2019 arrangement is also wonderfully easy to read.<\/p>\n

*Dangerous Waters<\/a><\/h3>\n

by Diana Stork<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I love this unique piece by Diana Stork\u2014it has such a cool vibe! With interlocking rhythms and a blend of Classical, Celtic, Latin, and African influences, it\u2019s both dynamic and captivating.<\/p>\n

*The Old Rugged Cross<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Heidi Stedman<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Heidi Stedman’s arrangement of George Bennard’s beautiful hymn is simple yet lovely. The cellist carries the melody while the harp accompanies with arpeggios, harmonies, and counter melodies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*Promenade \u00e0 l\u2019automne<\/a><\/h3>\n

edited by Carl Swanson<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I love seeing substantial classical works adapted for lever harpists, and this piece by Marcel Tournier is a perfect example. Rich and fulfilling to play, it\u2019s not overly demanding and makes a wonderful addition to any concert program. Pedal harpists can use this version.<\/a><\/p>\n

*Mon Souffle<\/a><\/h3>\n

by Megan Metheney<\/i><\/p>\n

This fascinating piece by Megan Metheney is full of surprises, incorporating percussive effects like knocking on both the harp and cello. It keeps you guessing at every turn, making it an exciting challenge\u2014just be prepared for some intricate coordination!<\/p>\n

Chanson de Mai<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Angela Kl\u00f6hn<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Hasselman’s harp classic has been reimagined for harp and cello by Angela Kl\u00f6hn and it’s absolutely beautiful! Kl\u00f6hn includes arrangements in two different keys: D-flat major (the original key) and C major (easier for the solo instrument).<\/p>\n

Spanish Serenade<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Serena O’Meara<\/i><\/p>\n

Changing gears to something a little more upbeat, Rudolf Friml\u2019s “Spanish Serenade” is a fun and lively addition to the harp and cello repertoire. Its dance-like melody has a certain charm to it, making it fun to play and listen to.<\/p>\n

Fantasia on “Auld Robin Gray”<\/a><\/h3>\n

edited by Silke Aichorn<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This piece is a fantasia on a Scottish ballad, set to a poem that tells a tale of love and tragedy. The cello\u2019s sweeping melodies beautifully convey the emotion of the story, filled with romance and passion in Silke Aichorn’s edition of Charles Oberth\u00fcr\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Serenade<\/a><\/h3>\n

by Michael Kurek<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

From the opening measure of this piece by Michael Kurek, I was hooked. Written in the traditional Romantic style, “the piece begins with the introduction of two themes which are then developed and intermingled freely in the manner of a fantasia,” says the composer. I love that the harp shares the spotlight just as much as the cello in this chamber work.<\/p>\n

“Pas de Deux”<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Grace Browning & Benjamin Krug<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Tchaikovsky’s dazzling Nutcracker<\/em> ballet melody is more than just a holiday favorite\u2013it’s a beautiful choice for weddings, events, and concerts. Arranger Grace Browning notes that this arrangement “utilizes the full spectrum of the cello\u2019s lyricism while highlighting the virtuosity of the harp.”<\/p>\n

Selections from Espan\u0303a<\/a><\/h3>\n
