Toward the Sun, a duo for two harps,
described by Andres Izmaylov as 'a little Jazzy Joke', was written for
the composer and his young son, then ten years old, to play together.
Delightful, witty and amusing for audience and performers alike, the
two parts are well adapted for teacher or advanced student (Grades 6-7)
playing with a younger student or less advanced pupil. The second harp
part is well within the reach of anyone who has reached Grades 3-4 standard,
and as there are no key or lever changes, it has the advantage of being
playable on lever as well as concert harp.
Toward the Sun has been recorded by Andres and Artemy Izmaylov and is available
from Creighton's Collection - see Audio Sample panel below.
