"The Black Harp" a Scottish air w/Dropbox link to dots, musicxml, xml

[Matthew Heumann]

My dear friend Celtic-Harper Beverly Black often loans me the use of her harp to compose tunes. Not surprisingly, I compose very different tunes on other instruments that my fingers aren't familiar with like they are on concertina. I didn't compose for harp (not knowing what to do with the left hand) but the resulting melodies were lovely. This pays homage to Bev's lovely harp and its addition to my repertoire. If it seems like I'm recording the baritone often its because it hadn't been played much before I bought it and at 120 years old, I decided to let it go through a vigorous break-in period before I tune it to A440 (currently in A442 7-9 cents sharp).
