This is a fun piece to play.\u00a0 For instance in the <em>With Cat Like Tread<\/em> segment, Harp 1 has sforzando chords, Harp 2 has alternating fifths, and Harp 3 has knocks on the sounding board.\u00a0 The performance time for <em>Melodies from Pirates of Penzance<\/em> is about five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The arrangement comes with separate copies for First Harp, Second Harp, and Third Harp and an Ensemble Copy showing the three parts together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the operetta, <em>Pirates of Penzance<\/em> by Gilbert and Sullivan, here is a medley of <em>I Am a Pirate King<\/em>, <em>Ah Leave Me Not to Pine Alone<\/em>, <em>With Cat Like Tread<\/em>, and <em>Poor Wandering One<\/em>, arranged by Shari Pack for three lever harps, or three pedal harps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":508,"template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[17,19],"product_tag":[32],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paxharpmusic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/35"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paxharpmusic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paxharpmusic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paxharpmusic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paxharpmusic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paxharpmusic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=35"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paxharpmusic.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=35"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
