I have all of Sylvia's books but return often to play the beautiful, original pieces in the Harp of Brandiswhiere. This suite is performed by many harp ensembles, and solists along with the story narration. I find the pieces also stand alone, and I enjoy always performing them. My favorites are the waltz-tempo, In The Forest, the hauntingly beautiful Lament, and Morning Calm. Because of the beautiful melody and rubato style Morning Calm lives up to the name. I know others will enjoy this highly creative, original score as much as I have.
