Enchanted Sea Harp Duets

Duets for Lever or Pedal Harp, Primo level 1B, Secondo level 2B-3
Ranges: Hp 1 is well suited for small harps
Hp II can be performed on a 34 string harp. “Kraken” would benefit from a more extended bass range.

This collection has some of the most creative and musically interesting works I have written. A bit more difficult than Enchanted Melodies, it is full of very exciting and beautiful pieces! All titles are taken from sea mythology from around the world.

Many of the harp one parts have been written down an octave to make learning the piece easier. To perform these, play them an octave higher as indicated. Alternate harp one parts written where performed are included, and can be used to play these pieces with a melody instrument like flute or violin.

I encourage students to use the cover as a coloring page. I’d love to see how they decorate it!
