Oh, how I love playing this song!

Arranged for 26-string lap harp; requires a lever on middle C. (One accidental in the entire piece.)
Comes with 2 versions (standard sheet music and a harp version with brackets and showing lever changes.
Lowest note: Bass C
Highest note: E above treble C

This is a great song to work on 4th-finger technique. The 4th finger is used heavily in both hands!

A really beautiful collection of original melodies. Sweet titles, sweet pieces by William Mahan, who is an architect, painter, musician and jewelry maker. Each title reflects a type of flower in Claude Monet's garden from an artist's and musician's viewpoint. Bass lines are busy but not difficult, some syncopation in a few melodies, nice harmonies and chords. There are a couple of accidentals in Spanish Red Poppies but the arranger gives ample time to flip levers.

Titles are: Monet's Garden, Bellagio in Bloom, Wildflowers of Gettysburg (contains the Civil War tune, Lorena), Dingle a Bloomin', Spanish Red Poppies, Sweet William Waltz, The Flowered Music Box, Dance of the Sunflowers

No lever or pedal changes required for this arrangement. There are 2 keys provided: Eb and C. Feel free to try both keys and see which one sounds best on your harp. For some lever harps, Eb sounds better because you can avoid going into the bass wires. .

Originally published in The Skye Collection of the Best Reels and Strathspeys Extant, c. 1887, New Claret is a delightful country dance tune in 9/8. 2 pages. The first arrangement is accessible to later elementary players, the second to advanced intermediate players. The arrangements may also be played together as a duet, or one after the other for a longer and more varied arrangement. This versatile melody may also be played as a round.

Fingering for the elementary arrangement, and chord symbols for both are included. The elementary arrangement fits on a 26 string harp or larger. The intermediate arrangement will fit on a 26 string if just two bass notes are left out.

Sweet Jenny Jones, or Cader Idris, traditional Welsh air arranged for early 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 early intermediate arrangement will fit on a small harp of 26 strings, and the more advanced arrangement can also fit 26 strings by omitting a few bass notes. Chord symbols are provided in both versions. Ample fingering suggestions are in the easy arrangement, and a few in the more advanced arrangement.
