New at Creighton's Collection
Claasagh - Manx music for Celtic harp 
Rachel Hair

"I have been fortunate enough to have become involved in the traditional music scene in the Isle of Man for several years, and with it, my affection and interest for the tunes and songs from the Island has grown. In 2011 I had the privilege of taking up the post of Manx harp tutor in the Island and since then have enjoyed arranging tunes for my students which I have learnt from collections both old and new and from local Manx musicians.

New Harp Composition

Indiana by Andres Izmaylov
New Composition for advanced pedal harp

This work was written for the USA International Harp Competition 2012 Composition Contest, Bloomington, Indiana, USA and, incorporating authentic North American Indian tunes as it does, inevitably, it could only be called Indiana. 

However, Indiana was actually composed on the other side of the world in a small village called Angen-Lakhta in Karelia, Northwestern Russia, 450 Km (300 miles) north of St. Petersburg, where there is no electricity or even a road - just a dirt track through the woods. It was to this remote and very silent place that Andres Izmaylov took his harp and created Indiana.

Jean Campbell - An Appreciation (written June 1974)

Jean Campbell, whose death occurred this week at her Edinburgh home, made a notable contribution to the musical life of Scotland over the past 25 years by her dedication and devotion to the cause of Scotland's old national instrument, the clarsach. 

As a performer, arranger, accompanist and teacher, she spared no effort in fostering within her pupils and international festival audiences a love of the best in our heritage of songs and ballads. 

Trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London, she returned to Scotland after commissioned Army service in the Second World War. For a number of years she continued this Service interest in her spare time and was awarded the Territorial Decoration. 

During her long association with the Saltire Music Group she made many Festival appearances at Gladstone's Land (the most recent only last year despite the onset, even then, of the cruelly disabling illness which eventually claimed her life). 

She was Convener of the Edinburgh Branch of the Clarsach Society and her pupils had conspicuous successes at the National Mod. She gave a lesson at her bedside only a week or two before her death. 

To the memory of her characteristic humour, forthrightness, and kindness, her many friends will now add the remembrance of her courage.
