A Sense of Wonder, harp
A SENSE OF WONDER an expressive early intermediate harp solo, which may be played on small harps with 26+ strings. With a hint of Lydian mode, this magical solo is full of light and hope.
This piece highlights teachable moments including simple harmonics, lever changes, 4-finger placing and changing time signatures. It has been carefully crafted with comfortable patterns that will help you feel successful and expressive at the harp.
This piece can be played beautifully on a small harp with bass C as the lowest pitch.

I love playing this piece. Anne creates such beautiful pieces that are a joy to play whilst at the same time working on technical aspects of harp playing. I feel my 4 finger placements are definitely improving & more fluent. The use of the harmonics is divine - I feel more confident playing them. There are so many 'sighable' moments in this piece.
I can't wait to play more of Anne's work.
Thank you so much for the lovely review! - Anne
I love all of your music and all the learning tid-bits you put in to them. I love this piece even more and I really like the way it fits in my hands to play it. I got an extra boost of confidence from this one and I love the way it sounds. It's a joy to play and it is such a happy tune to boot! I really recommend this one in particular! I know you put a lot of thought into all of music and I definitely appreciate that! You make learning soooooo rewarding. I use the word love a lot when I refer to your music because it is the way I feel about it and this one is a 'for sure.' If someone reading this is a more advanced player, I would still recommend this one - just for the joy of listening to the song and the ease of which it plays. Thanks Anne!
Thank-you so much Sheila!
After several years as an older (now 82) adult learner, your videos have me believing I might have moved beyond the "perennial beginner" stage I had labeled myself. Thank you for the lovely piece and the encouragement.
Anne, this is a “staple” in my therapeutic & worship repertoire! Those 1-3-5-7 patterns really bring out the lush tonal quality of the harp. Patients and parishioners alike always speak very positive comments about this song.
That's one of those magic patterns that sounds harder than it is! - Anne
What a joy to play this nice song. Even getting the hang of harmonics better with your helpful instructions...anxious to add to repertoire on small and larger harp...so many uses!
Thank-you, Kathleen. Isn't it nice to have pieces that are flexible enough to enjoy on large or small harps? So glad to hear those harmonics are coming along, good for you! - Anne
