Passacaille by G.F. Handel, transcribed for Harp


Here's another classical harp transcription with a very fall-October-marching-into-Halloween feel.  The piece is "Passacaille" by Handel, transcribed for harp by Tiny Beon.  It's 3 minutes of pure harpistic drama and lots of pictures of fairies, gnomes, and such.
