Ma Mère l’Oye (Mother Goose): Five Children’s Pieces
Maurice Ravel
Transcribed by Carl Swanson
For Solo Harp
Maurice Ravel’s Ma Mère l’Oye (Mother Goose) is one of his most beloved and recognizable compositions. Originally written for piano four hands and later arranged for orchestra, these five charming pieces combine simplicity and vivid musical imagery with the elegance and sophistication that characterize Ravel’s music.
In this edition, harpist Carl Swanson has transcribed the complete work for solo harp for the first time. Each of the five movements has been carefully adapted to make the music playable on solo harp while preserving the character and spirit of Ravel’s original composition.
This collection brings a beloved work by one of the great composers of the 20th century to the solo harp repertoire and offers harpists a unique opportunity to explore Ravel’s distinctive colors, textures, and musical storytelling on the instrument.
