Summary of This Book
This collection with CD is aimed at harpists who wish to explore traditional English, Irish, and Scottish music through pieces designed for the instrument. The choice of a "folk" and Celtic repertoire allows the development of a very specific musicality: sense of groove, dance pulse, flexibility of rubato in slow airs, and balance between accompaniment and melody.
Thanks to the CD, you have a valuable listening resource to train your ear and refine your interpretation. It becomes easier to understand the stylistic intention (accents, breaths, pickups), stabilize the tempo, and dare a lively interpretation beyond a purely "academic" performance. This is especially useful when discovering the codes of traditional music, where energy and ornamentation (depending on the level) play a central role.
In practice, this book can be used both for personal practice and lessons: warm-up with short themes, reinforcement of reading skills, rhythmic setup, then exploration of sound color (attack, resonance, damping). The proposed repertoire easily integrates into a performance or program and offers an inspiring alternative to more classical scores, while remaining perfectly suited to the harp.
