MERMAID'S TEARS is a mid-intermediate harp solo. Express yourself with the lyrical E minor melody and flowing arpeggio patterns. This piece was composed on July 15, 2013 in memory of my sister.

In this video you are seeing my small Marini Made harp, however the audio recording is my Dusty Strings FH34 in cherry. The Dusty is just a bit too big to take out on the rocks! Please note, you do need a larger harp to play this solo as written.

Beautiful piece

Thank you Anne for sharing this lovely haunting piece. It sits under my fingers very comfortably, and sounds beautiful even at a slower pace than you've indicated. every piece of yours that I play becomes my new favourite!

Thank-you so much, Pamela. Absolutely play it slower if that's how you feel it! - Anne

Beautiful song!

I had a lot of fun learning this song. It was easy to break down into sections and while I would have loved to have the fingering numbered, I felt quite proud that I figured out a pattern that worked for me! This song helped me learn new skills and enjoy the process of learning and the progress of having a new, beautiful song in my repertoire!

Good for you on solving the fingering patterns! I'm so glad you enjoyed learning the piece and slo built new skills along the way. - Anne

Utterly moving

Mermaid's Tears is the first piece of harp music I memorized. It falls nicely under the hand and makes great use of patterns which make it easier to remember. Before Anne told me the background story, I had researched what mermaid's tears are said to be, in folklore. Knowing the true background added another layer of meaning to my interpretation. This will remain one of my very favourite of Anne's pieces.

Thank you for the lovely review, Kathryn.

Incredibly beautiful

This is an incredible musical tribute to your sister, Anne - thank you for sharing it with others. It has become one of my favorite pieces to play, and a great compliment with Celtic selections.

Thank-you for taking a moment to write a review. My sister would be most touched to know that you share her piece in your ministry.
