It is my great pleasure to present this new series of harp music. We have a very strong history of harp playing in Scotland, and this is a hugely exciting time for the harp, with an ever-increasing number of professional harpists living and working in Scotland. The arrangers and composers included are all wonderful ambassadors for Scottish music and the Scottish harp. I wanted these books to represent the wealth of talent that we are so lucky to have, and to give a taster of different peoples’ arranging styles and new compositions. The arrangements have deliberately not all been formatted the same way in terms of fingering, dynamics etc, as I think that this is an important aspect of each person’s individual style. I hope that you will love playing the music in these collections, and that you will be inspired to keep discovering more about the music of Scotland. Ailie Robertson
