Arranged for lever (or pedal) harp duo or ensemble. Also includes optional easy 3rd harp part.

For beginner to Intermediate standard harpists.

This version has been expertly arranged for harp duo or ensemble by harpist Lauren Scott, and is a useful addition to the harp duo, trio & ensemble repertoire for playing at concerts, private events, weddings, parties and also as extra repertoire for teaching.

Popular melodies from the Medieval Period arranged for lever or pedal harp duet. Harp 1 is designed to be a complete solo arrangement while Harp 2 enhances and fills out the first part. Arranged for all harps using only the keys of F, C, G and D, with minimal lever or pedal changes. A range of exactly four octaves from C to C is needed to play all of the duet arrangements. Although these arrangements do not strictly adhere to medieval harmony and rhythm, they are nicely evocative of the Middle Ages.

Fifteen elegant, stately melodies from the Renaissance and early Baroque periods adapted from popular dance tunes, keyboard works and lute songs of the 16th and early 17th centuries. Freely harmonized, they capture the flavor of the period. The "primo" harp part can stand alone as a solo arrangement, while the "secondo" harp part is designed to enhance and fill out the first part. Composers are Gervaise, Dowland, Praetorius, Morley, Arbeau, Caroubel, and the ever popular "Anonymous".
