NEW RELEASE: It Is Well with My Soul - for Lever & Pedal Harp

This dramatic arrangement has a bit of everything - lush rolled chords, only three lever changes (or pedal changes), glissandi, and harmonics. This piece is perfect for any worship service, wedding, or funeral. To order your copy, click here.

NEW RELEASE: Sweet Hour of Prayer - for Lever & Pedal Harp

This arrangement opens with chords that possess a bell-like quality - almost like chimes. It is sweet, lyrical, and relaxing - perfect for Offertory or Communion. It has a bit of everything - lush rolled chords, a few lever changes (or a few pedal changes), glissandi, two harmonics, hand-over-hand chords. It is a delight to the listeners' ears. To order your copy, click here.

NEW RELEASE: Peace Be with You - for Lever & Pedal Harp

Frank has created another easy-to-read, easy-to-play, no-lever- pedal-changes original composition. If you like Above the Clouds and Summer Rain, you'll love this new piece. Yes, you read it right - no lever or pedal changes. This is another perfect selection for recital, wedding, or background music.

NEW RELEASE: Strolling through the Strings - for FOUR HARP ENSEMBLE

Frank has taken his popular original composition for the  beginner / intermediate harpist and arranged it for 4-harp ensemble. This arrangement includes the same lush chords and glissandi as the original. Very simple lever changes with plenty of time to engage and disengage the levers, and pedal markings are notated as well. This piece was performed for the first time at Harp Gathering in May 2008. The conductor's score (large print and easy to read) is included with four separate parts.

Pop Tunes by Frank Voltz

When Chiera Music moved (see above), we found a box of Can't Help Falling in Love; and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me that we didn't remember we had. I guess you should move at least once every ten years or so - you never know what you'll find. Anyway, to order your copy, click here and mention "MOVE" (the secret word) and I will sell each one for $4. Supply is limited (it's only ONE box), so hurry.
