Welcome to Harp Spectrum!
Our mission is to gather and share information on all kinds of harps and harp music that is suitable for harp students, teachers, composers and the general public. In this site, you will find photos, essays, artwork, and information about music for the harp. Historical harp, folk harp, pedal harp and harp building; resources for composition, playing styles and technique; the harp in ensembles, various folk, jazz/pop and ethnic harps. All these are a part of the spectrum. As well, this site includes some audio clips and images so that you can see and hear samples of the harps talked about, as well as the artists who play them. We hope that these will greatly enhance your enjoyment and understanding of the diverse articles that we're presenting. |

Back at the beginning in 1999, we thought of Harp Spectrum as a CD to sell. Then a tech-savvy visitor to our organizational meeting said, “No, you want a website that you can make grow.” The website idea was pretty new to us, but we soon realized its value and have happily proceeded to add more and more articles and information. Now, after 23 years, we are archiving the site and it will no longer be maintained. It was always a work in progress. Inevitably there have been, and still may be, omissions, errors or bad links. We have tried our best to clean it up and apologize for any mistakes you may still find. Thank you for your many visits, your interest and your support through the years. If you are interested in continuing the work of Harp Spectrum, please contact Joyce at joyce@harpspectrum.org.
