An Alternative to Irish Tunes for the Folk Harper,
By Milkhouse (Pine Plains, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 52 Scottish Songs For All Harps (Sheet music)
Yes, there are OTHER tunes a folk harper can play! While the focus of the past ten years has been on Irish music, Sylvia Woods reminds us that celtic-type harps originated in Scotland and were played there in antiquity. The book has about 50 tunes, each one arranged for a beginner and also for more experienced players. So, you can choose the level at which you are most comfortable without worrying that the knowledge and technique required to play the tune (slides, glissandos, cross-overs/unders, etc) will prevent you from playing it well. My goal is to learn all of the easy arrangements and then progress to the more difficult ones. Sylvia Woods has ferreted out a great selection of old tunes from Scotland (many from Robert Burns) as an alterative to Irish music. A great book to have, if only to remind yourself that the harp has been played for hundreds of years in other countries as well as Ireland! Also, it's nice to be able to play something unexpected, if you play for others.
