Ensemble Etudes, Memories and Dreams
Here is a series of short skill-building etudes to be sight-read by harp ensembles. Most parts are for only one hand, for the ease of the player (and relief) and to attain completion and satisfaction quickly.
The titles are: Early Memory [skills: rhythm and listening, key of F], Recurring Dream [skill: finger damping, key of C], Moonlight Remembered [skill: arpeggios, key of D], Fantasy [skills: etouffe, harmonics, PDLT and improvisation, key of Eb], Lightness [skills: rhythm and dynamics, key of C].
This is a unique collection, as the pieces are not necessarily easy. They are for harpists who have played at least a year. Not all parts are the same level of difficulty, some are more so than others. They are for players wishing to increase their proficiency in ensemble performing. The composition "Fantasy" is very unusual as it provides 8 bars which are blank – an opportunity to improvise!
