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

About SMP Press

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major) is one of Mozart?s most beloved works. Written in 1787, it was scored for two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass. The German title means ?a little serenade,? though it is often translated more literally as ?a little night music.?

In this arrangement of the second movement (?Romanza,? meaning ?Romance?), I have omitted two sections that were too chromatic to work well on lever harp. What is left is uniformly gracious, calm and romantic - lovely for concerts, for background music or for wedding processionals.

Meticulously notated with fingerings and muffles. Lever changes are indicated by diamond-shaped notes.

There are 3 pages of music, plus a page explaining all the notations.

For an easier version, you could play just the first section (the first page of music), in which there are NO lever changes. For advanced lever harpers wishing to play the entire arrangement, there are 21 lever changes (not counting the repeats). Full levers needed (there are Bb?s, F#s, C#?s and D#?s.)

Range of harp needed: at least down to the G at the bottom of the bass clef.

A collection of fifty hymns of The Church Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon faith) in lead sheet or fake book format, taken directly from the collection printed in 1985 with the simple title ?Hymns.? It includes a broad selection of these hymns to print with melody line, chord symbols, editings for harmonic adjustment on either lever or pedal harp, simultaneously, and the first verse of lyrics. Three separate ?Table of Contents? listings organize the entries according to first line of text, level of difficulty, and key signature.If you already play from a fake book, this will be a resource of immediate use to you. If you want to learn to play from a fake book, this is a great place to start.

Beautiful darkish harmonies, played mostly in the lower register of the instrument with a repeated rhythmic pattern that is almost like lulling waves. This unusual arrangement is written in the key of Eb. The hymn tune "Slane" and "Lasst Uns Erfreuen" are woven into the melody.

Harp solo of Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men. Suitable for lever & pedal harp, also available in intermediate version.

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.

Beautiful harpistic arrangement of this comforting hymn. This piece was transcribed by Basil Alter from Louise's recording, "Sacred Treasures". It is five pages in length, highly arpeggiated with some harmonics and glissandos. There is also a music box type section. It is exactly as Louise recorded it. Gretchen Chell Cover assisted with editing, and Frank Voltz did the final editing. Mary Radspinner made the Finale edits. This is the second piece from Louise's "Sacred Treasures" album.
