TWO FOR FI for harp

Level of Difficulty
Attributing a particular level of difficulty to an orchestral piece is awkward!
A piece may be easy for the strings but difficult for the brass; it may feature a tricky instrumental solo but the other parts may be relatively straight forward. A number of the arrangements listed are designed to simplify works to some extent but composers of many original works featured did not consider difficulty when writing them.
What our levels mean:
A = for players up to UK Grade 3
B = Grade 3 to 5
C = Grade 4 to 6
D = Grade 5 to 7
E = Grade 6 to 8
F = Grade 7 and over
Our gradings should be taken only as a rough guide.
To be sure if a piece is suitable for you, take a look at the score.
Two short pieces for harp with a gentle jazz inflection.
Sunday Morning Meander:
One Sunday morning Fiona Hosford, my wife's harp teacher, emailed her a chord she'd discovered and taken a liking to. Intrigued, I played it and meandered around it to see where it led me. The result is this piece, which starts with the chord, wanders dreamily off and wends its way back to the chord four bars from the end.
Memory Lane:
Having meandered around a chord in the morning and feeling that a companion piece was needed, I decided to saunter down Memory Lane in the afternoon, building on an idea I'd had previously for a piece to reflect Fi's relaxed performance style. Paul Lewis
