„Now comes the Little Story

The Volcano`s Lake was composed on a volcano called Pico that stands out about 2000 meters above see level right in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. From the bottom of the ocean to its pick it is higher than mount Everest.

I like to know that there are an enormous amount of different species of whales that live in this area and many others that go there strictly for romance.

I went there to perform with the harp but was at the same time deeply morning the death of my Dear Cat Mary Jane that tragically passed away the day before the flight. 

In this isle I was having at night strange dreams of epic battles and fights between flying Angels and Demons.

In one of these dreams „Time and Matter were a byproduct of „Music itself.  

The wind was blowing, the volcano was dancing and the water on the lake was whispering enchanting melodies. 

As soon as I woke up I wrote some notes before they vanished away, just a fragment of an idea of what I was listening in the dream. 

I named it „The Volcano`s Lake, because the „Lake was comforting me with its  melodies, I realized that my tears were also becoming the lake itself and in this lake I was becoming one with Mary Jane and all the rest of the Universe.

Thanks to Claudia Eppelt for the all the Love the wonderful painting and cover design.

This rendition of A Time for Us is a beautiful performance piece that displays the full range of the harp! It sounds very impressive to play and creates such a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. In this piece you’ll get practice with lots of 4-finger arpeggios between the two hands, jumping between registers, series of octaves and 10th intervals, many lever changes and some glissandos. If you learn along with the Video Course, Carrie will show you how to go beyond just playing the notes on the page by sharing tips on how to bring out the melody line so it sounds musical and doesn’t get lost among the many notes. She’ll also show you exactly how to practice those lever changes so that they feel controlled and predictable rather than rushed and frantic! This piece is challenging but so rewarding to play.

Difficulty Level and Skills Required: Late-Intermediate. The right hand often plays the melody line and sometimes serves as a continuation of the left-hand accompaniment. The right hand also handles the quick placement of rolled chords under the melody and series of octaves. The left hand consists of 10th intervals, jumps between registers, and executes more challenging cross-under passages. Together, the two hands perform continuous placements, arpeggios, glissandos, and numerous lever changes.

Type of Harp: For big harps, 34 strings or larger.

Range: The lowest note is D almost two octaves below middle C, and the highest note is A two and a half octaves above middle C.

Levers/Pedals: In the key of G major (F levers set to F sharp). Many F lever changes throughout.

The Willow Song from Shakespeare's Othello
Arranged for harp with no levers needed
I have put it into dorian mode to allow this to happen.
The harmony has changed in one or two places but I think it still sounds great.
Easy to achieve - not hard.
