THE SPARROW is an uplifting mid-intermediate harp solo, composed in memory of harpist and composer Brook Boddie.
On the evening of July 15, 2020, I was deeply saddened to learn of Brook's passing. As I sat at my harp in reflection, this piece came to life—music that expresses the warmth, light, and uplifting spirit he shared so generously.
This original composition gently hints at the melody of “His Eye is on the Sparrow”, one of Brook’s most beloved arrangements, as a tribute to his legacy of soulful, heartfelt music that continues to inspire.

Such a beautiful tribute piece! I saw that you had a G major version for small harp - I would love to play that version on my little Waring harp if possible, it's not currently included in the pdf download!
Thank you so much, Amy. I'm so glad you're enjoying Sparrow! The download includes the original B♭ major version, which is the intended key for this piece. I do have a G major adaptation for small harp that I use in some videos, but it isn't currently included with the sheet music. I really appreciate your interest, and I'll certainly keep your suggestion in mind for the future. Happy playing! - Anne
A fabulous little song which very nicely lies under the fingers. Great wee site for downloads too! I love the opening motif which you can use to develop a turn around to repeat the piece for say a wedding reception. Anne's interpretive skills in arranging transforms well-known melodies into harp specific pieces. She is able to draw out the resonant nature and uniqueness of the harp as a solo instrument Just great!
What a beautiful tribute, Anne. It's going on my music stand for the 'next' piece to learn. I will adapt it for my little double strung Eve to take to the hospital when we are able to return to the patients again. thank you!
Thank you Nancy! Do let me know if you would like a small harp G Major version, I just worked that out and could easily send it to you. - Anne
What a beautiful tribute Anne. I also was shocked to hear this sad news as well and hit especially close to home as I suffered a heart attack on May 30 of this year and was fortunate to have survived. Thank you for your tribute and support to the heart foundation

I am so sorry to hear that you recently had a heart attack, I can see how this would be very emotional for you. I hope you are feeling better and I am pleased to offer my support to the Heart and Stroke foundation.
