Harp,Instrumental Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998861 Composed by Robert A. Howard. Contemporary,Folk,Standards. Individual part. 5 pages. Robert A. Howard #6264819. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998861). This third piece in the series of 'Mosaic' works, is written for solo harp. As in the other Mosaic pieces, a series of early, unrelated sketches were reworked to create this piece. Mosaic III gradually introduces a rocking bell-like ostinato, adding a descending scale of harmonics. Indeed, the whole piece explores the harp's heritage as a folk instrument. There are tonal references to various modes, incorporating grace notes and folk-like melodies in the central section. The work is cast in a symmetrical arch form (ABCBA), with the opening section returning at the end, in reverse. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for most standards of harpist, including students and advanced players.
