This is a collection of 24 harp tunes arranged by Alison Kinnaird MBE. The music has been arranged in a style which is not an antiquarian attempt to recreate it as it might have sounded 200 years ago, but which reflects the living and evolving tradition of Scottish music.This collection, the first of its kind, will be of interest to players who are already familiar with their native idiom, to the classically trained musician who wishes to learn about it, and to the general reader for whom the extensive historical notes may throw light on a little known and very beautiful facet of Scottish history. / Harpe

A fantastic collection of 11 pieces written especially for the Irish- or Concertharp, by Dutch harpist, Rosetty. Various different styles and genres are featured here from Samba to Folk and Reggae to Romantic pieces. The harp part in each case has been kept relatively simple to enable the student to focus on the rhythms and syncopation of each style. An accompanying CD contains both demonstration tracks with the full harp solo to hear how each piece should sound, and a version with accompaniment only for performance and practice.
