Caernarfon's Calling
3/4 Part Harp Ensemble
Shelley Fairplay

 

Cover Image Caernarfon’s Calling was written to be performed during “Harps galore on Galeri’s Galleries” at the Wales International Harp Festival 2018. It has two main themes, begins in 4/4 in a Dorian mode, musically nodding towards medieval times, has a horn call at the start (Caernarfon’s Calling!) and the second theme moves into a faster 6/8 section with a feeling of rolling waves and dancing. You may even notice there is also a tiny snippet of the traditional Welsh tune ‘Tros – y – Garreg’ in one of the themes, to make sure the piece has its roots firmly in Wales. This set includes this score and one copy of each of the four harp parts. Additional copies of the parts are available.

For Mixed Ability Lever / Pedal Harp Ensemble
