"The Goda Suite" is a three movement work for viola, harp and percussion (Bodrhan and Zils). the suite includes three movements: "Goda's Bosom", Goda's Dance", and "Goda's Hearth". This is new Celtic music, full of ancient resonances. "Goda's Bosom" was written for Karen Jenkins Lichtman December 29, 1966 - September 29, 2007, who lost her battle with breast cancer after three years of awe-inspiring struggle. We, her friends are left with a stunned sad place in our hearts. We will always remember her dazzlingly beautiful dimpled smile, her complassion, and her roaring joy for life. Goda was a goddess especially dear to her. This music is a healing gift, created the night of Karen's passing. "May Goda hold you to her bosom as we hold you in our hearts"

Celtic Journeys: Suite of the Blessing Moon This suite of 3 lyrical pieces was composed by Sylvia Lee Mann for harp and viola. But, just in case you don't have a violist, she has also included alternate melody parts for any C or B-flat treble clef instrument, or a C instrument in the bass clef. The pieces are in the key of C or 1 sharp, with no lever changes. The harp parts are 2 to 4 pages, and can be played by advanced beginner or intermediate harp players. The 70-page book includes the scores, harp and viola parts, as well as parts for the other melody instruments, all spiral-bound together. A companion CD is included, so you can hear the music and play along. The selections are Wings of Peace, Song of the Raven, and Serenity.

Customer Review: "Charming, Uplifting Duets Celtic Journeys: Suite of the Blessing Moon is a charming group of lovely songs that show of the deep mellow sound of the the Viola against beautiful broken chords performed on the Harp. The harmonies are in the Celtic tradition- a beautiful combination of happy and calming melodies. These pieces are appropriate for services, parties, as solo works or background effects. I have enjoyed performing and listening to these uplifting duets. "10/21/2006 - by Stephanie Prather from Van Nuys, California  To Purchase - please use the button below:
