Deux Petites Pièces Brèves et Faciles by Marcel Tournier (1879 - 1951) are a set of pieces written at an intermediate level, playable on a pedal harp. The first piece, Soupir (Sigh), has a lovely melody with much motion to it. The second, Offrande (Offering), is more contemplative and inward looking. Both pieces utilize beautiful harmonies through chords and arpeggios.
