SHORT
AND SWEET
Collections
for Harp
Short and Sweet collections consist of sets
of full
arrangements
organized in useful sets. Each sheet music collection includes separate
versions
for pedal and lever harp when appropriate. In some instances, pieces
are offered in transposed keys for harps without full
levers. Because the editors feel it is easier to add fingerings you
need than to remove fingerings you do not need, few are included in
these arrangements. Lever changes are always indicated, pedal changes
are sometimes indicated. Short and Sweet music includes only
transcriptions
and were originally designed for use outdoors so there are no page
turns
and when ever
possible, arrangements fit on one page or two pages. A very few need to
be placed three pages across the stand to avoid page turns. Own them
all, print
only
the sheet music that you need.
Before purchasing, please download one of our samples to be
sure you
can print properly. If printing from the browser window fails, try
downloading the file to your hard drive.

IX: Odd-Ludes
$5.00
seven pieces for pedal or lever harp (beginning intermediate level)
with flexible titles: Prelude, Postlude or Meditation
by Barbara Ann Fackler
It’s nice to have the right music for the moment, hence the
flexible titles. As long as the appropriate
number is included, titles used may be: Prelude, Postlude, Meditation,
Interlude or simply Odd-Lude.
There are seven “-ludes” in this collection, each
with an odd number attached. There are no pieces
missing from this collection; the omission of even numbers was
deliberate. If they are performed as a
set, it is preferable that the collective name (Odd-Ludes) be used
along with the individual titles. This sheet music collection is laid
out with no page turns during pieces.

Little Sketches
$5.00
(suitable for 26 string harps)
Little Sketches are all related by their form and harmonic structure.
The first was born of a
predefined harmonic structure within which the piece took form. Each
subsequent Sketch was
based on the original theme with the goal of creating a different view
of the source in each
Sketch. As nine artists would all interpret a subject differently, each
Sketch is a different interpretation
of the original form. The harmonic structure of each is not identical,
but is nearly so.
Little Sketches may be performed individually or as a set. When
performed as a set of variations,
all repeats may be omitted and Sketch Nr. 1 may be used as the coda.
key of C major
Sketches 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9 are playable as written on a small 26 string
harp the likes of the Harpsicle or Ravenna 26.
Sketches 1, 2, and 5 are playable on a small 26 string harp if played
one octave higher than written.
An alternate version of Sketch Nr. 8 is included to accomodate the
range of small, 26 string harps, bass clef C to high G above the treble
staff.
An extra version of Sketch Nr. 1 with chord changes is included. Keep
in mind that some of the Sketches vary slightly from the original chord
progression.
(hint: in the first section of Nr. 9, find the triad shape hidden in
the
pattern and place each group on the beat, then play the bottom two
notes
leaving the last note to be played with your thumb on the "and" of the
beat. Cross LH over RH for the third group in the pattern, keeping RH
on the middle group.) This
is great preparation for arpeggios. See the sample
image for more explanation (opens in new window).
