In May of 2018 I received an email from harpist and composer Brook Boddie that read, "You don't know me, but I ran across your music on YouTube this evening. Your music immediately spoke to my heart, not only in the notes but in the way you translated them from your heart to the harp and then to others." This was the first of many kind and encouraging notes that I received from Brook.

On the evening of July 15, 2020 I was shocked and saddened to learn that Brook had died of cardiac arrest earlier that day. I went to my harp that evening and "The Sparrow" is the music that came through as I reflected on his kindness to me over the past years. I hope my composition reflects his warmth, light and uplifting spirit.

One of Brook's many fine arrangements is called "His Eye is on the Sparrow". My composition hints at his arrangement as an acknowledgement to his expressive music that people are drawn to for its heart and soulfulness.

"The Sparrow" is a mid-intermediate level solo. The original key is B flat Major and the sheet music download includes an alternate C Major version and also a small harp version in G Major. The sheet music for "The Sparrow" is available in my shop. All proceeds from the month of July 2020 were donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

I have been reading messages from other composers and harpists over the past days and it is clear that Brook had a special gift for lifting others up with his thoughtful words and generous encouragement. He will be missed and we appreciate how he cared for the members of the harp community.
