Jukebox for Solo Harp

0 Comments

Read Now
 

Introducing a major new work for solo harp, inspired by the retro vinyl Jukebox...


The 1950's were the heyday of the vinyl record jukebox, and this new 14-minute work for Solo Harp mirrors the concept of the jukebox, playing short 'singles' that vary in style & feel. 

Jukebox was composed by Andy Scott for harpist Sioned Williams.
​Enjoy the full, premiere performance above by harpists Sioned Williams, Keziah Thomas, Lauren Scott, Alex Rider, Elizabeth Bass & Eleanor Turner, with each harpist playing one movement of this six-movement work: RPM, Jump, Vinyl, Groove, Stylus & Turntable.

Jukebox by Andy Scott - a unique, multi-movement work for solo harp

​Harpist Sioned Williams spoke to HarpColumn prior to Jukebox's online premiere in May 2021. Commissioned for her 60th birthday, Sioned worked with Andy to create a piece reminiscent of her teenage years and “jukeboxes were popping up everywhere, bringing color and fun.”

Jukebox is "great fun and worth the many hours of practice" 
The sheet music for Jukebox is available as a PDF download at Harp Column Music here
