Hidden Cabin

Hidden Cabin is a short work for harp, with a delicate and ethereal feel. As well as normally articulated notes, the piece uses près de la table. This is where the harpist plays near the soundboard, giving a thinner, more nasal sound.

The central episode of the piece uses characteristic arpeggios and bisbigliandos (quick repeated notes, creating a whispering like effect), before returning to a variation on the initial theme in octaves. The piece ends secretively with a fragment of the theme, and a final chord plucked with the fingernails.
