Rachmaninoff's Vocalise - solo harp arr. by Tamara Mead

I have always loved this composition and wanted to perform it, but I don't believe there has ever been an arrangement written for solo harp. I know the harp can't "sing" like a violin or cello, but I would welcome any feedback on whether or not my arrangement works, musically, for the harp. (The most significant difficulty in arranging Vocalise for harp lies in the numerous accidentals, each accomplished with pedal changes. This arrangement has 173 pedal changes.) *Music now published and available by contacting www.tamaramead.com

I love this piece and have also wanting to play it myself for a long time. Could I possibly purchase your arrangement?

Good work, Tamara! This is the most unlikely piece I could imagine being arranged for solo harp, but you make it work very well indeed.

I love your arrangement. Have you thought of getting it published? Your pedal work is very impressive!

I understand that this is an extremely frivolous comment, but your living room is beautiful. I thought that kind of decor was only in movies. ._.

Thanks. I have been encouraged by several people to publish it, so I will try to do that before too long.

Your playing & interpretation are excellent, & your pedal work is superb. This is an unusual opus for the Harp.
