The “Sonata in Inhartum” is transcribed for a work for single harp and is dedicated to Randall Wong. This transcription lowers the pitch by a fifth. The Ishartum mode is the "white key" mode on E, and is the essential flamenco mode. It was first found on a Babylonian cuneiform inscription tuning tablet from the eighteenth century BC.
