Notes from the\u00a0Artist:<\/h3>\n

“The actually comparatively simple tune \u201cMack the Knife\u201d, which tells the story of a villain and his countless misdeeds in medieval style, developed into one of the biggest all-time hits in pop music through the decades. There is hardly any artist of renown, irrespective of genre, who hasn\u2019t performed this song at some point. This version for Harp Quartet varies the tune, in the absence of text verses, by applying a variety of dance music styles.<\/p>\n

Willi Maerz has arranged Kurt Weill’s “Mack the Knife” for four pedal harps. (Also comes in a two-harp version<\/a>.) The song “tells the story of a villain and his countless misdeeds in Medieval style,” says Maerz, “and has developed into one of the biggest all-time hits in pop music through the decades.” (See more below).
