The piece is thou very simple and easy to perform.

It is appropriate for the harp and it sounds great on any kind of harp. 

When using a little lap harp, one can easily transpose the bass voice an octave higher.

It is a flexible piece, you can play it slower or a little faster and even the arpeggio in the end that becomes quite easy after some practice could be replaced by a simple glissando.

You should feel Free to apply in this piece the Art and technic that expresses entirely your individual skills, Your taste and Your Soul.

It is a piece that can be used in many different kinds of situations, from the serious concert hall to a funeral, in Easter or even Christmas celebrations and all other kinds of Spiritual events or even joyful social meetings.

When performed Live It will give you back a great  feedback from the public, you will always want to have it in your repertoire.

Thank you very much for taking your time to read this text and to listen to the file.

I hope you have a lot of fun and enjoy the music.

Sheers!

„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.

Special Thanks to Stray Dog Nina, Stray Queen Mimi, Carlinhos, Maria Pontinha, Mary Jane, Schwarzenegger, Maria Koboldinha. 

For all Living beings on Earth, for all our Ancestors, 

Thank You for all of You 

All Your Love and Compassion.

Love Forever.

This tune was published by Daniel Dow in the 1770s and was probably composed by Roderick Morison (~1656-1713). My double-strung harp arrangement in the dorian mode has rolled, echoed chords, highlighting the depth of sound we can get from having two sets of strings. The accompaniment hand traverses the entire range of the harp, often overlapping the melody hand.

Range and key: D dorian (all naturals). 24x2 strings. C below middle C through E.

Lever changes: None.

Good for: Performance, memorials, therapeutic settings.

Double-strung effects: The LH accompaniment frequently overlaps the RH melody range. Rolled accompaniment chords often contain the same note as the melody, creating a rolled echo. Some chords that aren’t rolled have doubled notes in both hands, creating depth. The repetition of LH patterns makes this a great piece to learn overlapping hands with.

Characteristics: Neither hand needs to place more than an octave spread. There are some four-note chords (always LH 1-3-5-8). The RH has almost no chords. Few of the chords are inversions. There are very few sixteenth notes; no more than three played together with one hand. The LH has two long-run patterns (1-5-8-9-10 and 1-5-8-9) which can be played with cross-unders or a wandering thumb. The RH has a few cross-overs/unders.

Finger placement: Finger number suggestions are provided for key phrases. Numbers above the notes are suggestions for the RH (marked with R or R# when they occur in the bottom staff). Numbers below the notes are suggestions for the LH (marked with L or L# when they occur in the top staff). To see what I mean, view the PDF of finger placement examples in Rorie Dall's Sister's Lament: www.EnjoyTheHarp.com/s/rorie-dalls-sisters-lament-notes-enjoy-the-harp.pdf

Notation: Chord symbols are provided. Treble clef is used for both staves, with 8vb for the low notes.

Length: 4 pages. 60 measures, plus 12 if you take the repeat. 4 minutes.

Page turns: If you are printing, double-side pages 2 and 3 so that there is only one page turn. The RH can be used on all notes of page 2’s last measure, so that the LH can turn the page. If you are using single pages on a tablet, you can do something similar at the end of page 3. Page 1’s turn is manageable.

Waltz In the Wood contains 32 pages of beautiful original harp solos, in the approximate range of intermediate to late intermediate. There are 13 songs in the book. The book is for lever or pedal harp.

There are several sample pages for you to view. The audio sample is an excerpt from Dark of Night.

Songs in this book: A Minor Moment, Breezy, Long Way Home, Duette, Dark of Night, Waltz in the Wood, Love is a Circle, Kind of Like Dancing, Double Or Nothing, A Voice In My Head, Double-Strung Waltz, The Secret and Double Dorian Dance.

These pieces are different. They originated from my original music for double-strung harp. I have re-arranged them more to suit single-course harps, but the original interesting character of double-strung music is still there.
