About
When one of the most prominent film composers in Finland collaborates with an insightful artist and a distinguished pedagogue, the result is a dazzling collection of new music that fills a pedagogical gap in the repertoire suitable for advanced amateur harpists and harp students. Pessi Levanto's Echoes and Dreams - 12 songs for harp leans across genre boundaries, and the thorough editing by the harpist Päivi Severeide (Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts Helsinki) makes the book an essential supplement for every harpist. Each piece in this collection focuses on a particular technical or rhythmical issue. Levanto has introduced elements from a variety of musical genres such as jazz and folk music and succeeds in expanding the idiom beyond the most obvious harp clichés. Ad libitum 2nd harp (lever harp) parts for A Sylvan Songsong and Faerie Paths and Hidden Ways can be found in the separate booklet.
