This is a piece written after hearing the Carillon played in Amsterdam.

Harp Quartet for four Lever Harps
I was excited by the idea and possibilities of using four lever harps. This was proposed by a Harpist and Teacher that I met at the Dundee Symphony Orchestra. I thought that I could write music with an architectural/three dimensional aural quality and I set about the pieces with this in mind. I also wanted to explore the idea of having the Harps tuned in different keys so that I could juxtapose chords and patterns in different ways.
This piece is very simple and without dynamics at the moment. ie it is a bit of a sketch, so please if you have a go there is a lot of freedom for expression.
