Heather's Song

For Lever and Pedal Harp
 
In 2009, Frank wrote Abby's Song to honor the birth of the first grandchild in the family. When Heather, the second grandchild, was born, I wrote her song. It is sweet and lyrical, very soothing and peaceful (like a lullaby). Play it as if you were singing it. It is in the key of D major (accessible on lever harps tuned in Eb and C) and there are only two simple lever changes. It contains a short section of arpeggios in triplets, one glissando, and 3-note chords (only one rolled 4-note chord in the right hand at the end). This is a great addition to every harpist's repertoire and suitable for all occasions.
