Maeve Gilchrist - Traditional tune arrangements and original compositions for the lever harp Book 2 Lever and Pedal HarpHere it is folks, my second volume of original tunes and traditional tune arrangements for the Celtic Harp. Its a hodge podge mix of tunes that have come my way or come from me that I thought would be interesting vehicles for arrangement ideas, technical exploration or simply fun to play! Throughout the book Ive woven in technical exercises, stylistic suggestions and lots of ideas for musical interpretation. These facets are as important, if not more,

While the key of the piece is not based on one of the unique scales Turkish makams use

To me this justifies this new publication based instead on Székely’s famous version and it is my hope that it will be used by many violin and guitar duos that want to delve into Bartók's fascinating and highly expressive work
