Early-intermediate for big and small harps. The song was written by Simon and Garfunkel in 1964, but it's become a meme in recent years, so it?s still very relevant today! Christy-Lyn?s intermediate arrangement is reminiscent of the finger-picking guitar in the original version of the song, with broken chords and some harmonies in the left hand and a right hand melody that's been adapted to sound best on the harp. If you learn this piece from the Video Course, you?ll get essential practice tips on how to make the piece flow and sound musical, much faster than learning on your own!..........DIFFICULTY LEVEL and SKILLS REQUIRED: Early-intermediate. This piece has a simple melody in the right hand, with a left hand accompaniment that is a step up in complexity and variation from late-beginner pieces. There are parts of the piece where the two hands play the same notes straight after each other, which can be a challenge for placing without buzzing. There is quite a lot of syncopation ? a rhythmic challenge! The left hand jumps around a fair bit, and the right hand has to place some tricky 4 finger chords. ..........TYPE OF HARP: Big and small harps, including 22 string (C to C) and bigger. ..........RANGE: Lowest note is C an octave below middle C, highest note is B almost 2 octaves above middle C...........LEVERS/PEDALS: It is in the key of G major, with no lever changes. Harps without levers can tune their F strings to F sharps. ..........WHAT'S INCLUDED: PDF download of 4 pages. Fingering and bracketing are included.

Written for lever or pedal harp these arrangements are highly evocative and with a full and rich sound, far beyond the usual standard editions for beginners. Nonetheless they are quite easy at playing and suitable for amateurs who can easily learn and enjoy them. Playable on piano also.

This beautiful tune is a traditional Welsh lullaby. This arrangement begins in the higher octaves with a music box-like quality, then becomes richer and fuller in the second and third verses. It is a calm and tender piece that falls easily under the fingers.This piece is playable on both pedal and lever harps and has no pedal or lever changes. Two versions of this piece are included: one in the key of Eb and one in the key of D. (Each version is 3 pages.)
