François Joseph Naderman (1781-1835) was a classic harpist, composer and teacher of the period after the French revolution. Very famous in his time, he became the first harp professor at conservatoire de Paris, starting the glorious French school of harp.His works are regarded as some of the most important pieces in the harp repertoire today. Especially the seven progressive sonatas op. 92 are frequently studied, played and recorded.For their usefulness and didactic effectiveness, and for their high artistic quality, I selected some works by Naderman and I arranged them for the lever harp.As my intent is eminently practical and not at all historical or philological, I took some liberty in rearranging the pieces, changing some harmonic progression and adding some passages and cadences to simplify the lever changes. The fingerings for these varied passages are written in the score.Obviously I recommend that you compare my arrangements with the original score, on which you will find all Naderman's fingerings and, of course, the music in its original form.

The Sheep Under the Snow, traditional Manx air arranged for easy and late intermediate lever harp. These two arrangements (one page each) may be played one after the other for a more varied arrangement, or either one may be played twice through to suit the level of the player.

The easy arrangement will fit on a small harp of 26 strings, and the more advanced arrangement is suitable for floor harp.

Chord symbols are provided in both versions. Ample fingering suggestions are in the easy arrangement, and a few in the more advanced arrangement.

A sweet version of the lovely carol, "In the Bleak Midwinter," with two verses, a unique introduction and outro that will charm listeners and harpist alike.
