AHJ, Vol. 4 No. 3, Spring 1974

Harp Contest in Israel, discussed some of the more
modern works for harp, showing the unusual notation
of these numbers. Mr. Falcao introduced us to the
"Coloring Book for Harpists" by Yanny Yehuda.
The program was rounded out with the playing of
two tapes: the first, an original composition by Yong
Sook Won, a member of our chapter and a student at the
University, was a hauntingly lovely number for Piano,
Voice and Harp called Nostalgia. The other tape was
Heinz Holliger's "Mobile" for Oboe and Harp; played
by R. Richards, oboe and Suzanne Thomas, harp.
At our next meeting, Michael Amorosi will discuss
and demonstrate arranging popular music for harp.
Assisting in the demonstration will be Suzanne Thomas
and Carol Wilson, using arrangements by Laura Erb
and Phyllis Schlomovitz.
This has been a year of learning and advancement.
We are proud of the accomplishments of our members.
