John Franklin The legacy of this harpist lives on in these wonderful melodies. As before the bards sang about heroic deeds of the legendary kings of Ireland, these songs from the nineteenth century tell about the uprisings of the Irish people against the British occupiers.

Compositions that tell of the magic of nature. Composed by Claudia Kuhn. The familiar fifth-octave handle creates melodies and gently pinging sound effects. Since the glittering soundscapes are repeated with only minor changes, the compositions play more relaxed than it seems from the score. Easy to moderate. Easy to intermediate level.

A harp journey through the universe of our tones. What does the infinite expanse of the cosmos sound like? How does the light of the stars in the black of space sound? And what does the silence between the stars sound like? This suite explores these questions in seven sound images and wanders through seven keys. Composed in 2019 as a tribute to the harp playing of the ancient Irish harpists.
Like a sun surrounded by its planets, a melody revolves around its accompaniment systems. The purely harmonic basic function of the triad (sometimes a quadruple or even a quintuple with additional tones) is shaped by the structure of an accompaniment system to its rhythmic energy and timbre. There are many accompaniment systems: simple basses, grouped into pulsating, driving bass octaves, the "Alberti bass" (also
As mysterious as the enchanted forest "Brocéliande" are the ballads of Brittany - old stories that Christoph has the melodies arranged for solo Celtic harp. Hand for the bass, the big chord fingerings introduced. And Arpeggios that your harp sound like champagne bubbles. As a contrast to all this fairy-tale, there is the dance. Short melodies unfold in their
