Mary's Wedding
Mairi’s Wedding is a popular traditional Irish tune. Joanne Meis arranged this piece for 3-part harp ensemble for the wedding of one of her harp ensemble members, Mary Keeble. And so she renamed this arrangement Mary’s Wedding. She used many compositional techniques such as inversions, augmentation of music motifs. It starts out in a stately walking manner. All harp parts have interweaving melodies and utilize both the upper and lower registers of the harp. This piece ends triumphantly with strong bass chords played by Harp 3 while Harp 1 and 2 have ascending and descending scales creating a ringing bell effect - - like wedding bells. The piece is in the key of C with no lever changes. There are a few fingerings in some of the parts. 4-page score, plus the 3 individual ensemble parts.
