Baroque Flamenco Harp Solo [Harp-Lever-Pedal]
This downloadable booklet of sheet music includes three versions of this piece:
- Advanced Beginner (for pedal harp or Eb lever harp)
- Intermediate (for pedal harp or Eb lever harp)
- Professional/Concert (for pedal harp only)
The professional arrangement includes the fiery flamenco cadenza written out the way I play it myself in concert and with a symphony orchestra. The 2 lever harp versions are simplified. I’m proud I was able to create arrangements for every level of player so that now everyone can enjoy playing this piece as much as I have!
[$17.50]

Califypso [Harp]
Califypso (harp) ~ A Musical Game for 1 to 100. Deborah says: “I created this piece originally as a ‘game’ to play with audiences, and there’s a big ‘audience percussion solo’ in the middle of the piece. Later, I orchestrated it for symphony, and each of the ‘improv’ sections features a different ‘family’ of instruments: woodwinds, strings, brass, percussion and … of course …. a harp chorus.” [$14.95]
Danny Boy [Harp-Lever-Pedal]
Danny Boy (for lever or pedal harp) ~ NEW 2019 Version – for LEVER and PEDAL harp. This is DHC’s arrangement of the traditional classic. Deborah says: “I always loved this tune and the story behind it, and enjoyed re-harmonizing the simple melody. This arrangement for lever & pedal harps is a great”alternative version” that tends a little more toward the harmonies of a jazz ballad.” [$5.95]
Nataliana [Harp-Lever-Pedal]
Nataliana (for pedal & lever harps) is a Malagueña-like romantic concert piece for intermediate to advanced players. Deborah says: “This was the first piece I ever wrote for harp. I was so taken with the a handbuilt lever harp my friend Natalie had, that I wanted to write a professional-level concert piece I could play on it. This piece has no lever or pedal changes, but it’s very challenging and very romantic and passionate! I also love playing on pedal harp, because you can play it in Ab-minor – which is the richest, most resonant key for pedal harp.” [$9.50]
New Blues [Harp-Lever-Pedal]
New Blues (for pedal & lever harps) is a bluesy theme and variation for intermediate to advanced players. Deborah says: “This was the first Blues-ish piece I wrote for harp, and it’s more of a Be-bop Blues – very upbeat. It’s fun to play and a big crowd-pleaser.” [$9.50]
Für Elise [Harp-Pedal]
My mother could play ONE classical piece on piano – Beethoven’s “Für Elise.” I didn’t know it at the time, but when I hear that piece today I realize how much influence it had on me as a composer, just in terms of the way it’s structured, the particular things he did – especially the dramatic ‘pedal tone’ with the changing chords over it.
These are things I can see and hear in my own writing today and I realize I heard this piece as a child, not only as great music, lasting melody, the play of harmony and lyricism — but as an early lesson in how music gets put together.
I always wanted to play it on harp …. but there was that tricky chromatic section … not only is it completely non-harpistic – but it’s the one part that bothered me in the original – almost like he meant to write something different but didn’t get around to it.
So – forgive me Ludwig and all you musical purists ... but I simply changed that section – and that made it fun and easy to play instead of a technical struggle.
Once I figured it out, I committed to making an arrangement that would be accessible to pedal harp players at an intermediate level – and voilá, now YOU can play it too! (if you play pedal harp) And I hope you will!
If you like the way I played it here, great. If you don’t – YAY – because I’d love to hear the way you play my arrangement! The download link is below, and once you learn it, please share it on YouTube and then share the link to YOUR YouTube video of it in the comments below! [$9.50]
