Dark and mysterious with 6/8 double jig Celtic energy, the mythical owls guide you to the edge of the forest. Â Enjoy this first track from the orchestral album A Grimm-ly Lit Forest in a setting for 4 or more harps. Â Great cinematic writing gives all harps interesting and challenging parts and builds a sense of drama, tension, and excitement. Â You can listen to the original song that this arrangment is from at www.BlueSteerStudios.com
Melodies are chord based with fast moving obligato parts in the background showcasing a breathtaking display of technique, energy, and artistry. Â Wide dynamic range, highly rhythmic and engaging, this piece is destined to be a show stopper with opportunities for all players to shine!
