Ars Musicae Hispaniae
3 total works
This is a collection of nine familiar Sephardic folk songs, most dating to the 16th century or earlier, both religious and secular in nature, in attractive arrangements for voice with pedal or lever harp accompaniments of moderate difficulty. Texts are in Ladino, with translations provided. Arranged by a well-known arranger/transcriber, Nine Sephardic Songs is perfect for those preparing voice and harp programs and fills a specific niche in available harp music.
This is a collection of seven uncommon medieval songs from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Milligan's attractive arrangements of these evocative songs include suggestions for the addition of viola and hurdy-gurdy. Perfect for those preparing voice and harp programs or for just noodling around at home. Milligan is one of the most widely recognized arrangers of harp music alive today.
Samuel Milligan's Five Medieval Dances is the third in the the Wings Press "Ars Musicae Hispaniae" series, joining Milligan's Seven Medieval Songs and Nine Sephardic Songs, all arranged for small harp and optional instruments. Very little medieval secular music was written down, especially secular dance music. Five Medieval Dances preserves what were likely some of the most popular pieces of the 13th and 14th centuries, drawn from Le Manuscrit du Roi in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, as well as from manuscripts housed in the British Museum and the National Library of the Czech Republic. Samuel Milligan is one of the most widely recognized arrangers of harp music alive today. He was the founding editor of the American Harp Journal, and has served on the Boards of the American Harp Society and the Historical Harp Society.
