Brook Boddie (1968-2020), was a talented harpist, organist, pianist and composer who passed away suddenly at the age of 51. The Brook Boddie Hymnal, Volume I, contains previously unpublished pieces that Brook improvised and posted in the form of YouTube videos, beginning in 2009. Bill Ooms graciously volunteered to transcribe them, and Rhett Barnwell edited and revised them into the current published form. This version contains the pieces in the original keys and is designed for lever harps tuned in the key of E flat, or pedal harps. These arrangements and original compositions are all accessible to the intermediate harpist, with only 2 pedal or lever changes in the entire collection. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to a musical charity specified by Brook’s family.

This is the best music I've added to my collection this year. Brook's style is so evident in these pieces, with the beautiful harmonies and little twists to the melodies. I played through the whole book yesterday and felt tears in my eyes the whole time. So many beautiful pieces..... What a great talent he was!
