Jasmine FlowerJasmine Flower Ref: A0726
Guo Gan | Park Stickney | Jessica Yuen
This duo CD combines Park Stickney’s electric-acoustic harp with the haunting sounds of the Erhu (Chinese traditional violin) played by virtuoso Guo Gan. It is a fusional exploration of classic Chinese melodies arranged by Park and original tunes by Guo, and includes extended duo versions of all of the arrangements on Park’s book “Travel Journal of a Western Harpist in the Chinese Garden.” Guo and Park first performed together at the 2017 World Harp Congress in Hong Kong, and immediately found that the harp and erhu (and the harpist and erhu-ist) worked really well together, combining the singing tones of the erhu with the harp’s chromatic and rhythmic possibilities. The Canadian pianist Jessica Yuen joins them on the last track, for a three-continent rendition of The Girl from Ali Mountain.

Surprise CornerSurprise Corner Ref: A0470
Park Stickney
"Surprise Corner is a mystical place we used to visit on family vacations. Its exact location changed often, but was usually found in the middle of a busy highway in afternoon traffic. When we got to Surprise Corner, my brothers and I would receive a small gift to keep us occupied during the rest of the long drive." Park Stickney

Mostly solo harp, Park is backed up on a few pieces by guitar, drums, voice and bass. Along with Park’s lyrical solo Swiss Miss and two Della Penna originals.

Sheet Music

The Dirty Laundry RagThe Dirty Laundry Rag Ref: SM017
Park Stickney
One day, while doing my laundry as an undergraduate at the University of Arizona, I found myself humming a tune--a tune that I didn't recognize! After I finished drying (and folding), I went to the harp and worked out the melody, which eventually became the piece you're now holding. It was pure chance--it could have just as easily been the "shaving samba" or the "all-nighter waltz," but I was out of socks. I hope you enjoy this piece, and that your sock drawer is always full.

Book 1: Qin Language of Flowers
Park Stickney

Thanks to Angela Yau and the staff of the Hong Kong Harp Chamber, for enthusiastically embracing this project, to Xiao-Jie Zhang, my old friend from the University of Arizona, whose invitation to do a tour of China in 2016 inspired me to do this book "now" rather than "sometime." to Ann Huang for suggesting the title, to Swiss artist Cedric Henny who designed the beautiful cover, and most of all to Yuet Ching Lo, a harp student at the Royal Academy of Music in London, who gave me the idea to make these arrangements in the first place. Thanks to them - and thanks to you! Have fun playing these pieces!
