Cynthia Cathcart

From My Music Stand

This repertoire book comprises arrangements primarily for the wire strung harp, or any long-ringing harp. The book assumes that the harper understands damping and ringing concepts. The arrangements span the spectrum from late beginner to advanced. All the arrangements have been performed publicly by Cynthia Cathcart. Some tunes are set so that they will fit on a harp with a range extending down to the G below middle C. Others require a range extending to the second G below middle C. No levers or retuning is necessary to perform the arrangements in this book.

Performance notes are included for each arrangement. Some histories, lyrics, and a bibliography are given.

Many of the tunes in the book From My Music Stand are on the recording Alchemy of a Rose. Most are in the same arrangements as in the book
