Samuel Milligan's collection of Nine Sephardic Songs is a wonderful
addition to the harp and voice repertoire. This will be a treasured
volume of music for musicians of all levels." —Sarah Bullen,
principal harp, Chicago Symphony Orchestra
"Nine Sephardic Songs is an unexpected exquisite gift to harpists
and singers. This genre of music has not been readily available
before now. Hauntingly beautiful and soulful, the accompaniments
can be played by both intermediate and advanced levels of players.
They offer the harpist expressive solo lines that enhance the
songs. In addition, the historical and musical commentaries are
both helpful and useful." —Susan Jolles, first alternate harpist,
Metropolitan Opera
"Samuel Milligan again gives us a perfect collection of music
filled with history and grace. These songs are passionate and
descriptive of Sephardic life. The opening pages include a rich
history, filled with traditional customs and events. Beautifully
arranged and set, we are fortunate to have this exceptional
addition to our libraries." —Barbara Allen, principal harpist,
American Ballet Theatre
"Hurray! Another gem from Sam Milligan. Well-researched and
documented, the background of the Jews in Spain (Sephardim), their
language and music are succinctly discussed in the introduction. As
we have come to expect from Milligan's other collections, the
arrangements are eminently playable on harp. A group of these
lovely songs would be a unique addition to any harp and voice
program, fitting well with any early harp through modern pedal harp
repertoire." —Jennifer Sayre, Historical Harp Journal
