The Harp 1 part for this piece can also be performed as a solo piece. <em>African Reflections\u00a0<\/em>is a rhythmical, fun piece to play &#8220;which experiments with different sounds to imitate the Kora,&#8221; a traditional instrument from Africa, says Stadler.<\/p>\n<p>This collection is a PDF download available in the following combinations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Complete Set:\u00a0<strong>$20.00<\/strong><br \/>\n(Includes score and both parts)<\/li>\n<li>Score only:\u00a0<strong>$10.00<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Harp 1 only: <strong>$7.00<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Harp 2 only: <strong>$7.00<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Length<\/em>: score is 28 pgs.; parts are 16 pgs (includes both pieces).<\/p>\n<p><em>Duration<\/em>: each piece is @5:30<\/p>\n<p><em>Note<\/em>: This collection is formatted for A4 paper size; use the settings in your printer dialog box to get the best fit for your paper size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":115144,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1569],"product_tag":[8411,482],"class_list":["post-115143","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-monika-stadler","product_tag-split-products","product_tag-harp-ensemble","pa_artist-stadler-monika","pa_collection-collection","pa_combinations-complete-set","pa_combinations-harp-1","pa_combinations-harp-2","pa_combinations-score-only","pa_composer-stadler-monika","pa_genre-original","pa_harp-type-harp-pedals","pa_instrumentation-2-harps","pa_level-intermediate","pa_nationality-african","pa_nationality-welsh","first","instock","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"exclude_global_add_ons":[],"addons":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/115143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115143"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=115143"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=115143"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=115143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
