Salzedo, Carlos, Dixie Parade

Item Price: $6.50

Shipping: Prorated Gift Wrap Options

Concert showpiece based on the American folktune for pedal harp

A Concert Fantasy for advanced pedal harpists. Lighthearted arrangement by Carlos Salzedo of the American folk song "Dixie" for pedal harp. Requires many fast hand jumps from one octave to another, and many chords stretch well over an octave, so this piece will not be comfortable for small hands. Although the piece changes keys four times, the pedals are not difficult and there are no enormous technical challenges other than those sited above plus the lively tempo. 8 pages.

Dona Nobis Pacem

Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) is arranged here for a solo harp and for harp ensemble.

The solo version is easy enough for an advanced beginner. It is in G major, with no accidentals, so it would suit a lever or pedal harpist.

The ensemble arrangement is in canon, and the canon entrances are marked. The ensemble parts (there are three) are also appropriate for any level harpist. A strong beginner could take the first harp part, and the second and third have fuller textures with more notes. These would be better suited to an intermediate level harpist. Of course, an advanced harpist could easily tackle any part. The piece is short and very pretty. It would be wonderful for a harp ensemble that has players who are at different levels in their playing abilities. 9 pages.

Lively Latin style piece for pedal or lever harp solo

Fun and lively Latin style piece that definitley does not take itself too seriously. One measure ostinato base pattern through most of the piece makes this a quick one to learn, and makes the syncopations and cross rhythms ( three against four ) easier as you can concentrate on the right hand. Written for intermediate level pedal harp, but alternates are given for the three measures that have pedal changes, making this piece a lever-free ride. Key of C major. It's really OK to have fun playing the harp - make this one a novelty addition to your gig music, or something completely different for your own enjoyment. 4 pages, tune has one repeat.
