For lever or pedal harp.
Brook Boddie (1968-2020), was a talented harpist, organist, pianist, and composer who passed away suddenly at the age of 51. The Brook Boddie Hymnal, Volume 2 contains previously unpublished pieces, as well as several published works, that Brook improvised and posted in the form of YouTube videos, beginning in 2009. Although not all pieces are hymns, Volume 1 and Volume 2 together contain virtually all of the pieces in public domain that are contained in the YouTube videos. Bill Ooms graciously volunteered to transcribe them, and Rhett Barnwell edited and revised them into the current published form.
These 15 arrangements and original compositions are all accessible to the intermediate harpist, with only a few pedal or lever changes in the entire collection. Fingerings are not included. The pieces can also be easily played on the piano.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to a religious or musical charity.
