Peppermint Boy - Contemporary pieces for harp
Various Artists

CD CoverPeppermint Boy is a showcase of stunning and original new talent from a rising generation of harp students. All the pieces are composed and performed by the nine students pictured overleaf. Together they form a varied and eclectic range of exciting new music for both the pedal harp and clarsach. This album also reflects the recent upsurge of interest in this unusual and versatile instrument and it is hoped that many up-and-coming harpists will be inspired by the beauty and originality of these compositions and wish to play them for themselves. The sheet music for these tunes is also available
