Your group will really enjoy this one!!! An energetic and rhythmic ensemble (Pedal Harp Trio) commissioned by The American Harp Society On Behalf Of The Charm City Harp Ensemble. Key of Eb, rhythmically challenging, sometimes meter changes from 5/8 to 3/8, and has syncopation. Although written for pedal harp, there are no accidentals. Harp 1 is busiest in both hands, Harp 2 is the least challenging part, and Harp 3 uses both hands sparsely, but carries a lot of rhythmic responsibility. .

A lever harp arrangement of Merry Go Round of Life by Joe Hisaishi from Howl?s Moving Castle. It can be tricky to play on the harp but it?s definitely very beautiful! For this arrangement, I tried to preserve as many harmonies as possible. In the video, the tempo played at is around 70bpm (slower than the original) to give enough time for the many lever changes. But the tempo can of course be adjusted according to skill level.

Suitable for advanced intermediate level players on lever harps tuned in Eb major. Sheet music has lever change markings indicated. A guide to the harp octaves has been included in the PDF.

Key: G minor
Lever/Pedal changes: Multiple
Range: C6 ? F1
