Composed by Zbigniew Antoni Preisner. Arranged by Rachael Acheson. 20th Century,Broadway,Children,Film/TV,Musical/Show. Score. 4 pages. TheHarpLibrarian #997026. Published by TheHarpLibrarian (A0.1415294).This recognizable theme from the 1993 film adaptation of The Secret Garden appears in several different tracks from the score, but most notably in "Leaving the Docks" and "Showing Dickon Garden."
I arranged the piece specifically for my 26-string "Fullsicle" Harpsicle harp, and it should fit on other small harp models with a similar range. But you can, of course, also play it on larger harp models (either lever or pedal), as well.
Because the original version was a piano solo, I had to re-organize some of the left-hand chord structures to get it to fit the range of my small harp. But, even with this adaptation, I was able to keep it in the original key (two sharps, so D Major), meaning that owners of "Sharpsicle" Harpsicle models, and some Roosebeck Pakistani harps, should be able to play this piece, as well as "Fullsicle" Harpsicle model owners.
There are no lever changes or extended techniques, but, at full-speed, the piece can prove much more challenging than it looks at first glance. In particular, I recommend practicing that quick, repetitive Alberti bass in the left-hand with a loose, exagerated oscillation movement to prevent tightness or injury. Also be wary of starting out at a speed that you can't maintain throughout the entirety of the performance. Meteronomes are your friend.
