This concerto was written as a surprise gift for Kathy Bundock Moore, exquisite concert harpist and dear friend. Using the harp in an untraditional role, Berkey chose to use a smaller orchestra and to engage the solo instrument in "conversations" with the orchestral instruments. The work is in two movements, each having short cadenzas underscored by the orchestra.



Two volumes of harp solos are adapted or arranged by Concert Harpist Kathy Bundock Moore (University of Northern Colorado, Greeley). In direct collaboration with Jackson Berkey, Dr. Moore has created beautiful harp settings of pieces written by the composer in other genres. The two volumes, listed below, are also pristinely recorded on SDG Records.

Familiar and new melodies and rich harmonies create a fresh song from the traditional hymn, Bless'd be the Tie. Melodies soar to new heights and seem to take away one's breath by the length of singing and the lush sonorities. A beautiful solo gives weight to God's promise, while the purity in choral answer phrases captures the tenderness of the "Tie." The seamlessness of phrase upon phrase reminds one of sweet Eternity. Commissioned by Loree Lynn for the Tribe of Dan.
