BOOK OF HOURS   Harp  25'  Kathy Henkel
From the beautifully decorated devotional book of the Middles Ages, this piece was inspired by French and Italian manuscripts pertaining to the Hours of the Virgin.  Although church modes play in important role, the work incorporates quartal and dissonant harmonies, as well as special effects.  Musical quotes and references can be heard from traditional carols, Vivaldi, Bach, Strauss and Mahler.  22 p.  AE373  $22.98

FANTASY-RICERCARE AND DANCE  (Classical Guitar) Lynn Harting-Ware
"The music itself is elegant stuff. It is written in two voices throughout. The fingerings are sparse but adequate, and the printing is clear and spacious so that reading this is a delight." -J. Mayes, Soundboard
This suite is a delightful pastiche of the Renaissance style.  The free and whimsical Fantasy leads to the imitative Ricercare.  Light and lively, the Dance is a rondo in triple meter of charming character.  It is recorded on the Acoma CD MANY MOODS OF THE GUITAR GXD5732.  AE217 $6.98 Click and See review.

GOLDBERG VARIATIONS (classical guitar)  (Selections.  Arr. L. Harting-Ware)  J.S. Bach  Free Classical Guitar MP3 of Bach's Goldberg Variations: Aria excerpt from the CD Forest Scenes CD
"Particularly interesting is Harting-Ware's arrangement of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Granted, she gives us only 10 of the 30 variations and has only six strings at her disposal, but it is nonetheless fascinating to hear how adaptable contrapuntal music is to a change of instruments." -William Littler, The Toronto Star.
These arrangements represent an interest in Bach's celebrated Goldberg Variations.  My inspiration began with Glenn Gould's 1981 recording; and with the desire to internalize the magic of the Aria, I began arranging it for guitar.  This naturally lead to the recognition of other select variations in which  I have endeavored to preserve the spirit and integrity of Bach's work. It is recorded on the Acoma CD FOREST SCENES AcomaGXD5734.  AE616  $19.98

KINDERSZENEN (classical guitar)  (Selections. Arr. L. Harting-Ware)  Robert Schumann
These six arrangements from Schumann's collection are introspective in character and their expressive subtleties emerge from a simplicity of form.  Titles suggest extra-musical and poetic connotations: Dreaming, From Foreign Lands, The Poet Speaks, Frightening, Entreating Child, and Curious Story.   They are recorded on the Acoma CD GXD5732.  AE799 $7.98

MEDIEVAL CHRISTMAS  Hp  7'   Kathy Henkel
Excerpted from The Book of Hours, this piece captures the Christmas story in a programmatic way.  It opens in a mood of joyful mystery with glissandos and harmonics.  Then follows a "Troubadour's Song", announcing the birth of Christ and a brief quote from Angels We Have Heard On High.  7 p.  AE594  $7.98

REVERIE AND MARCH (classical guitar)  Lynn Harting-Ware
In this through-composed Reverie, the Dies irae theme is veiled in the bass, casting a somber shadow over the upper voice.  The March, in ternary form, features a march-like melody accompanied with free counterpoint and a contrasting section, motivic and rhythmic.  They are recorded on the Acoma CD FOREST SCENES AcomaGXD5734.  AE489 $4.98

RIVER SKY (classical guitar)  Kathy Henkel
"Kathy Henkel's River Sky, is a gentle and evocative work inspired by Ms Harting-Ware's poem of the same name." -Classical Guitar.
