Hey everybody! Just wondering if any of you know of any pieces featuring harp and celeste together? I know of several orchestral scores with this instrumentation but I'm really interested in finding some smaller chamber works if you know of any (I'll gladly take new-to-me orchestral scores as well though, so feel free to add them if you know of any).
I'm trying to get a feel for the sound of those instruments together.

Here are some examples I've found in a quick search at IMSLP and youtube:

http://imslp.org/wiki/2_Canzone_italiane_(Alaleona,_Domenico) ( Strings, Harp, Celesta, Timpani)

http://imslp.org/wiki/Herzgew%C3%A4chse,_Op.20_(Schoenberg,_Arnold) ( Soprano, celesta, harmonium, harp)

http://imslp.org/wiki/2_Lieder_nach_Gedichten_von_Rainer_Maria_Rilke,_Op.8_(Webern,_Anton) ( Voice, Clarinet, Horn, Trumpet, Celesta, Harp, Violin, Viola and Cello)

http://imslp.org/wiki/Music_for_Strings,_Percussion_and_Celesta,_Sz.106_(Bart%C3%B3k,_B%C3%A9la) ( Strings (inc. harp and piano), Percussion and Celesta)

http://imslp.org/wiki/Nightingale_and_Lenin_(Kervinen,_Jukka-Pekka) ( For Harp, Vibraphone, Celesta, Alto flute)

http://imslp.org/wiki/Noneto,_W191_(Villa-Lobos,_Heitor) ( Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone (Alto and Baritone), Bassoon, Harp, Celesta, Piano, Percussion and word-less choir

Percussion: timpani, xylophone, tam-tam, tambor, bass drum, caixa, cymbals (bronze and pottery dinner plates), chocalhos (metal and wood), triangle, reco, coco (large and small), puita, pandeira grande, caxambu)

I don't know MANY of these works, but I believe it can help you somehow^^

Thanks, that should help a bit. I did search on imslp a while ago, but the trouble is finding pieces where the instruments play, well, simultaneously. There aren't many, but hopefully some of these will at least get me started. Maybe I'll just have to pioneer this particular instrumentation and go in 'cold' so to speak  :D

Great!! This is a good idea too^^ I'm working on something for Celesta solo these days too
