It is featured on many \u201ceasy<br \/>\nlistening\u201d compact discs and has been used as background music for spa treatments,<br \/>\nmovies, and television commercials.<\/p>\n<p>Debussy\u2019s original Clair de Lune was written in the key of D-flat. Because this key is not<br \/>\nfriendly for lever harpers and is less attractive to instrumentalists of intermediate ability, I<br \/>\nhave decided to arrange this work in the key of D major only.<\/p>\n<p>I have endeavored to keep the harmonic integrity and overall \u201cfeel\u201d of the original piano<br \/>\nwork. However, so that these arrangements are easy to read on the page and will fit<br \/>\ncomfortably under the hands, several difficult passages have been simplified. Many tied<br \/>\nnotes were eliminated, since the harp would continue to \u201cring through\u201d the previous note;<br \/>\nelimination of some ties gives a \u201ccleaner\u201d appearance on the printed page.<\/p>\n<p>Rests appearing in the music are solely for the purpose of rhythm, hand separation, and<br \/>\nphrasing. It is not intended for the harpist to damp strings when rests occur. Should<br \/>\nspecific damping be required, the performer should use tasteful damping when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Pedal and lever changes are indicated between the staves; lever changes are indicated by<br \/>\nboth diamond-shaped note heads and the octave number of the strings. The performer<br \/>\nshould use their discretion, as pedaling and levering are highly personal matters.<br \/>\nDynamic markings, fingerings, metronome markings, 8va indications, instructions, and<br \/>\nflute breath marks are provided<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>The Clair de Lune Book<\/em> contains four versions of Debussy&#8217;s &#8220;Clair de Lune,&#8221; arranged by Darhon Rees-Rohrbacher for solo lever or pedal harp or for flute or violin and lever or pedal harp.
