Short
and Sweet Volume
IV: Wedding Processionals and Recessionals $5.00
Five processionals or recessionals for
weddings, each with a
version for pedal harp and for lever harp Jubilation (Fackler), Trumpet
Tune (Purcell), Pavane d'Espange (Arbeau), Andante Largo from
Voluntaries, Set II (John Stanley) and Trumpet March
(Clarke). Often brides want something that's a little bit
different from what they think everyone else uses. These four pieces
offer just that kind of option.
Jubilation by
Barbara Ann Fackler
listen
to a sample played on a 27
string harp (mp3)
This festive piece composed for harp by a harpist may
be used as a wedding processional, recessional or as a solo. Offered in
two keys, D and G (and two versions) to fit pedal harp and all small
harps and to
allow pairing with
commonly requested pieces used in wedding processionals. It
begins with a fanfare introduction followed by three themes offering
plenty of material for a lengthy processional or filling time.
No
accidentals, over two min. in length played as written, this requires
facility with octaves, fifths and sixths. Version I (less
complex
LH) is easier than Version II, both work with the optional obligato.
Over 2 minutes long played as written,
adaptable to different lengths by altering which repeats to take.

Trumpet Tune by Henry
Purcell
This very popular piece
works easily
for pedal harp or small lever harps. Played in the original key of D,
it's easy to add trumpet or horn. Two versions are included, one with
levers marked and one without levers marked. Some fingerings are
included.
Andante Largo, from
Voluntaries Set II, No. 6 by John Stanley
This arrangement is
available only for
pedal harp and lever harp with levers on F, C and G. It's in the
original key(D major) and works easily with trumpet,
horn, violin or flute on the melody. Brass players know this already in
the original key. It's not as fast as some of the others that are
traditionally used making it a stately, elegant entrance.
Pavane d'Espagne from
Arbeau's Orchesographie
During the Renaissance
era pavanes
were often used for processional music. It's stately tempo offers the
perfect music for a grand entrance. This pavane works well for harps as
it has no accidentals and is in the key of C. This pavane is
included on the CD, Pleasantries & Diversions. Hear a sound
clip on
iTunes or CD Baby.
Trumpet March by Jeremiah
Clarke

key of D and
in the key of C, this is a sweet little march with no accidentals
making it easy for all harps. The key of D works for harps
C-c
and key of C for harps G-g.
