The Lone Egret

Sharon Thormahlen and Jessica Urey
6 original duet compositions for Harp and Flute  

        In January of 2008, Jessica, a home schooled 14 year old, came to me with the beginnings of her compositions. Together we worked on their structure, melody, chords, etc. and eventually decided to make harp/flute duets out of them. This book is a culmination of our work.The book includes the complete scores along with separate Harp and Flute scores for easy reading.
         The book will be set up in the order of keys from 3 flats to 2 sharps. The lever changes in 3 of the 6 tunes are relatively easy to accomplish. The harp accompaniment parts can stand on their own as harp solos. The flute melody parts can serve as a lead sheet for the harpist to improvise their own left hand part to. Two harpists can play together with one harpist playing the flute melody with the improvised left hand while the other harpist plays the written harp part. We hope you will have fun with these tunes.
         A midi Audio CD will be available for purchase to accompany this book. It will include the duet version along with each individual part so you can hear them separately.

Tunes include:

Asia Minor
Faye's Dance
Waltzing in the Dark
Les Oiseaux De L'Amour
Memory in the Music Box
The Lone Egret

Asia Minor Audio MP3 (not available yet)

The book is $20. Now available with an audio CD accompaniment. (not available yet but will be $6)

What fun to have a book of original songs for flute and harp combining Jessica's flute melodies with Sharon's beautiful harp compositions! Because the harp parts are not simply accompaniments to the flute, but stand alone as harp solos –it’s like getting two books in one! --Verlene Schermer

At Harpcon St. Louis, I read through all the pieces in this book and thought they flowed very nicely in a harpistic way.. They lay under the hands very well. What I like about Sharon's music is that it fits the harp so well, unlike some harp music that is too pianistic. Each of her books is better than the last one! --Kathy Chanik

Lovely Music!--Beth Kollé
