FLEXIBLE ARRANGEMENT: Here are some ideas for how to use this arrangement for varying ensembles, including teacher and student.
- Harps 1 and 4 only. (One melody and ostinato bass line.)
- Harps 1 and 2 only. (Two overlapping melodies.)
- Harps 1, 2 and 3. (Three overlapping melodies.)
- Harps 1, 2 and 4. (Two overlapping melodies plus the ostinato bass line.)
- Have a cellist play the Harp 4 part.
- Have a vocalist sing the Harp 1 or Harp 2 part (probably singing an octave lower than written).
- Have a flutist, oboist or violinist play the Harp 1 or Harp 2 part.
- Have a violinist play the harp 3 part.
All harp parts may be played on Lever harp OR Pedal harp.
Harp parts vary from Beginner to Advanced Beginner. Harp 4, Ostinato, is the easiest. Harp 2 is the next easiest; never more than one note at a time. Harps 1 and 3 spend part of the time with the melody doubled in octaves, with a few chords at the very end.
