The inspiration behind my original compositions comes from a number of places. Sometimes it's imagery or a picture that I hold in my mind, other times it's color, texture or movement that I feel. That's right, I feel color.
In this blog post I've chosen seven of my original harp compositions that feel like summer. These are Intermediate level pieces, which require a larger harp with 34+ strings.
I've put the pieces in an attractive order in case you'd like to create a relaxing summer set. Click on any title to view the sheet music in the shop.
Hope you enjoy listening and learning!
