WATERCOLOR ON WHITE is a heartfelt collection of 7 original harp solos composed with the adult beginner in mind.
Inspired by Anne’s first harp—a little black Harpsicle with no levers—this collection embraces simplicity while offering rich musical enjoyment. Each piece was composed using only the white piano keys, making it accessible on harps without levers and ideal for small lap harps.
The "watercolor" theme reflects both the colorful expressiveness of the music and Anne’s personal journey of creativity and growth as an adult learner. These solos celebrate the beauty of limitations, the joy of discovery, and the courage it takes to begin.
Watercolor on White includes the following 7 original solos:
- Cadmium Orange
- Cerulean Blue
- Alizarin Crimson
- Viridian Green
- Rose Madder
- Cobalt Turquoise
- Winsor Violet
Pages: 15 pages of music (7 solos included)

All of the compositions in this book are lovely little jewels. They work together as a set, although each one has its own personality. I am so glad I bought this book. I have them all memorized now and play them almost daily!
There are definitely challenging things about them and I had to work hard to get them flowing. But it was a journey I really enjoyed. Now I'm settling in to learn another book of pieces by Anne - Year Round.
Anne, you are my favourite modern-day composer for the harp. Thank you.
Oh so sweet! Thank-you, Jean!
These are some of the first pieces I had so much fun learning. Each one speaks to you differently and stands on its own while also easily flowing into the others with some improvisation. A really sweet and enjoyable collection.
Thanks so much for taking the time to add your reviews, Maryam! Much appreciate! - Anne
Each piece is a delight to play and I find challenges in all of them. So fun to work on. Thank you.
I'm so glad you are enjoying these, Romona! I wrote them for myself when I was learning to play.
I appreciate that Anne makes videos of each of her gorgeous compositions, so I can hear and see them played before deciding which to purchase. I really enjoyed the videos for Watercolor on White and bought the digital book four months ago. It is a lovely collection of absolutely achievable pieces for the late-stage beginner. Because of the shared key, each works nicely in a set list with the others, while maintaining their distinctive character as solos. My current favorite is Rose Madder, which has such fun melodic runs to play. Be careful though, as it will get stuck in your head, and your humming of it may drive those around you to distraction.
Thank-you Karen! Your comment made me laugh because I remember a period when Rose Madder was stuck in my head and everyone in my house was humming it too!
