Cabin Fever
for Two
$25 (We think you should buy 2 of them if you plan on
playing with a friend)
 Cabin
Fever for Two started in North Carolina in 2006 after attending the
 Southeastern Harp Weekend together. Ever since then Sharon and Anna
have seized the opportunity to get together, along with their harps,
for a week at a time to play and work on these tunes together. One
of the things that makes this easy is that they are cousins. Technically
cousins-in-law with Dave, Sharon's husband the official cousin. Anna
and Dave's fathers were brothers.
Here is a list of the tunes in the book:
Musique dans le Cabane
The Water is Wide
Inis Oírr (Inisheer)
The Ash Grove
My Cape Breton Home
Tourner à Trois
Hewlett
Waltzing Matilda
Denise Grupp-Verbon reviewed this book in the Spring 2013
issue of the Folk Harp  Journal. Here is the review:
Sharon Thormahlen's creations have never been disappointing and this
collection is no exception. Featured are eight selections arranged
for harp duet. Titles range from traditional tunes like "The Water
is Wide" and "The Ash Grove," to Hewlett" by O'Carolan
and the familiar "Inisheer" by Thomas Walsh of Dublin.
This collection has a nice variety. I am sure a harp duo could create
a lovely program from this book. Each arrangement features a score
and parts and the two parts complement each other nicely. The collection
is appropriate for late beginners to intermediate pliers. There are
a few clearly marked lever changes, some glosses and also rolled chords
and some syncopation. There are no fingerings provided, but chord symbols
and dynamics are included. Sharon and Anna include a paragraph of program
notes for each selection. If you have someone to play duets with (or
more!), I know you will enjoy this book! We look forward to Sharon
and Anna's next project.
