"Due to the lack of understanding and information, the exciting dimensions of the harp can often be overlooked," says international test winner Georganne Cassat, former harpist in residence at the University of Iowa. "Many students of music hold the misconception that the harp is a difficult instrument to compose for and incorporate into a large body of orchestration."
The Phoenix of Music: The Harp makes it interesting to learn the history and development of this multi-faceted instrument while presenting the performance of both classical and contemporary harp music by an outstanding harpist. Including compositions and techniques, Ms. Cassat has created a delightful series of vignettes about this magical instrument, " ... one of the most versatile sound resources available today."
