This piece is part of Maurice Draughn’s\u00a0T.I.P.P. Series (Theory in Practice and Performance), a multi-level set of instructional and performance pieces designed to introduce student harpists to the fundamentals of theory \u2013 harmony and rhythm. The pieces contained in each set may also be used as performance pieces in the form of a suite or stand-alone work. The concept for the T.I.P.P. Series arose from the composers\u2019 interest in creating works for students in the H.I.P.P. program (Harp Instruction and Performance Program), an afterschool program that introduces young learners to the harp. Students were able to build their knowledge of theory as they developed technique on the harp. Each piece has \u201cfree-style fingering\u201d which allows the instructor to craft fingering conducive to the level and physique of the student.<\/p>\n

“Step, Skip, Jump” takes the harpist through a journey of motions using a series of steps and skips. The jump is demonstrated through a set of ascending and descending glissandi. The middle of the piece contains a chorale before the recap of the opening material. “Leap, Soar, Fly” is a fun waltz filled with jumps and leaps in the accompanying lines along with contrasting dynamics. The piece also features a duet played over a soaring fifths. “Five Tone Blues” is a pentatonic version of the \u201cblues.” The ascending and descending bass line is evenly divided between two harps with a sustained two-note chord. The groovy melodic line is performed in the form of a duet. Musical Motions<\/em> can be paired with Musical Time<\/em> to create the suite below.<\/p>\n Motions and Time<\/em> Musical Motions<\/em> is an original set of pieces for 4 lever harps by Maurice Draughn that introduces beginners to one of the fundamental concepts of harmony\u2014intervals. “Step, Skip, Jump” and “Leap, Soar, Over” cover the common intervals found in music. “Five Tone Blues” is a pentatonic version of the blues, which has as a section for harpists to display their budding improvisational skills. A theory worksheet based on each piece is included with the score and parts.<\/p>\n This piece is available as a PDF download in the following combinations:<\/p>\n Length<\/em>: score is 11 pgs.; parts are 6 pgs.<\/p>\n Duration:\u00a0<\/em>5 mins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[284],"product_tag":[486,266,482,417,416],"class_list":["post-6349","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-maurice-draughn","product_tag-4-harps","product_tag-back-to-school","product_tag-harp-ensemble","product_tag-instructional","product_tag-theory-in-practice-and-performance","pa_artist-draughn-maurice","pa_combinations-complete-set","pa_combinations-harp-1","pa_combinations-harp-2","pa_combinations-harp-3-only","pa_combinations-harp-4-only","pa_composer-draughn-maurice","pa_genre-classical","pa_genre-educational-etudes","pa_harp-type-harp-lever","pa_instrumentation-4-harps","pa_level-beginner","pa_publisher-dtm-publications","first","instock","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"exclude_global_add_ons":[],"addons":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6349","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=6349"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=6349"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=6349"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=6349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
