The Clive Morley Collection of Historical Harp Music
At the end of the nineteenth century, 56 Old Brompton Road (then Sussex Place) in London was the meeting place for harpists from all over the world. From this address, John George Morley made and repaired harps and sold music and strings. His wife Cecilia, herself a harpist, was the dedicatee of many compositions and received presents and tributes from many a famous musician. Together they collected a huge library of important music and this was handed down to John Sebastian Morley and his wife Betty, and thence to Clive Morley.
These Editions
Many early editions were only printed in limited subscription issues and are not generally known. The intention is to make these rare editions available to all harpists, be they beginners, students or professional soloists. Most are printed in facsimile and on fine paper.
Visiting
The collection is now available for viewing and there are harps for playing selected compositions.
Additions
If there are rare works which you would like to find, please send a written request. We are also interested in adding to the collection.
