I created this variation for Concert (Pedal) Harp of my
earlier arrangement of "Komm, süßer Tod, komm selge
Ruh"
(http://musescore.com/mike_magatagan/come-sweet-death-c
ome-blessed-rest-f...) as an exercise with the tonal
qualities, depth & range of this instrument.
The lyre harp is an ancient musical instrument that, despite having deep historical roots, enjoys renewed popularity among modern musicians. This instrument is a form of lyre, a family of stringed instruments played by plucking the strings, similar to a harp but generally smaller and more portable.
