THE SPARROW is an uplifting mid-intermediate level harp solo, composed in memory of harpist and composer Brook Boddie. On the evening of July 15, 2020 I was saddened to learn that Brook had died of cardiac arrest earlier that day. I went to my harp and "The Sparrow" is the music that came through as I reflected on his kindness over the past years. I hope my composition reflects his warmth, light and uplifting spirit.
One of Brook's fine arrangements is called "His Eye is on the Sparrow". My composition hints at this melody as an acknowledgement to his beautiful music that people are drawn to for its heart and soulfulness.

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.
