Great is Thy Faithfulness ~ Trio for harp and two melody instruments
Versions for pedal and lever harp, includes primo part for C instrument and secondo parts for C or B flat instruments
Level: Late Intermediate
While improvising on the hymn, I stumbled on putting it in 9/8, and soon had every Debussy piece I owned spread out on the floor of my studio. I examined accompaniment patterns, chord progressions, and other characteristics. The resulting arrangement became one of my favorite works to perform in concert or in sacred settings. Though not easy, it is exciting to perform!
This work includes versions for pedal harp (as recorded on “Morning by Morning” by RoseWynde) and lever harp. The lever harp does not have as many accidentals, but those remaining have been allowed time to set them (see examples) D# is required.
CDs of Morning by Morning are available through this website or on Amazon.
As recorded on “Morning by Morning” by RoseWynde:
Sandy Duffy Norman, flute
Ann Beesley, violin
Kathryn Cater, Pedal Harp
