2003. À la Mode introduces harp players to the Greek modes, including the Locrian mode, and the pentatonic scale, blues festival as well as eight different time signatures (including tricky blues festival ones like 5/4). While modal music is prevalent in harp music, and especially well suited to the folk (Celtic/lever) harp, blues festival many people are unfamiliar with the modes themselves. Also, most method books only introduce the basic time signatures, e.g. common time and 3/4. À la Mode fills that gap by exploring the modes and time signatures through a series of 10 fun pieces (both traditional and original) arranged for solo harp. All pieces can be played on any harp that goes down to the C below middle C. Many of the pieces can also be played on smaller harps, with some alteration of the left hand accompaniment, or by shifting the entire piece up one octave.
