Harps and Harpists
Six thousand years of lavishly illustrated harp history
Harps and Harpists
Revising her classic 1989 book Harps and Harpists, Roslyn Rensch expands her authoritative history of this timeless instrument. This lavishly illustrated edition, with 137 black-and-white images and 24 color plates, surveys the progress of the harp from antiquity to the present day. The new edition includes two new chapters; an extensive bibliography and index; personal anecdotes of the author's studies under Alberto Salvi; and an appendix on the Roslyn Rensch Papers and Harp Collection, which are housed at the University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign.
Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Harpists
The harp is both the oldest and the newest of instruments. It has existed in some form in nearly all cultures since man has made music. The contemporary concert instrument has been known since the mid-19th century. This work is a compendium of the biographies of many notable harpists of the modern era. The biographies make clear how these performers shaped the contrasts in style and technique of harp playing that have developed over the past 150 years, as cultural, social, and psychological forces influenced individual performance. In addition to the biographical information, the A-Z entries include critical reviews, discographies, and selected bibliographies where possible. New material from the former Soviet states is included.

Travels With My Harp
Inspirational and entertaining, this autobiography chronicles the life of a performing artist with a deeply devout outlook. Mary O'Hara won global acclaim as a singer and harpist, yet behind public success was an unsuspected tragedy in which joy turned to sorrow. From her humble beginnings in the west of Ireland to her first husband's tragic death and her 12-year sojourn in a monastery, this tale of triumph over tragedy also journeys with O'Hara into the wilds of Africa following her second marriage. Written with warmth and humor, this book is also filled with insights into O'Hara's albums and concert tours.

One Stone to the Building
Do you love the harp? The French harpist Henriette Reni (18751956) asked this question of each student, and it remained her ideal throughout her life. This book explores the circumstances which surrounded the beginning of Henriette Renis career as a masterful harpist and composer.

The elements of Renies virtuosity are traced through her famous Lgende, and her less-known Deux promenades matinales. Her compos...
