The French Romantic composer Charles Gounod added a beautiful melody to the Prelude in C by Baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach, to create this beloved and inspiring Ave Maria.

This pedal harp solo arranged by Stephanie Bennett (ASCAP) has been meticulously notated with fingerings, as well as tempo and dynamics markings.

Great for any classical-music setting, & for any Christian occasion (weddings, funerals, christenings, Christmas, etc.)

If you print it out on paper, remember that the ODD numbered pages go on your LEFT and the EVEN numbered pages go on your right. Laid out this way, there will be only one easy page turn (from page 3 to page 4).

If you take the repeat, it?s about 4 minutes long. If you skip the repeat (go directly to 2nd ending), it?s about 2 minutes & 15 seconds.

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 the frenetic middle section of the movement, so that what is left is uniformly gracious, calm and romantic - lovely for concerts, for background music or for wedding processionals.

Meticulously notated with fingerings, muffles and pedal changes.

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

CD is available on CDBaby.com (?A Beautiful Classic Wedding? by Lace & Roses Music). MP3 is available on CDBaby.com or on iTunes (search for ?Lace & Roses 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.

TRUE LOVE'S VOW (pedal harp solo) is a love theme from an imaginary movie... inspiring and achingly romantic. Composed by Stephanie Bennett ("One of our country's top harpists" - the Hollywood Reporter), it is a selection on the CD "A Beautiful Classic Wedding" by Lace & Roses Music, (recording available at CDBaby.com and at iTunes: regular version at https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-beautiful-classic-wedding-vol-1-solo-harp/1246578509

or Mastered for iTunes version at https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/a-beautiful-classic-wedding-vol-1-solo-harp-dj-edition/1245306750.)

The sentiment expressed by the title is especially perfect for weddings! It also makes a lovely harp solo for any elegant occasion.

It is meticulously notated with harp fingerings, pedal changes, muffles, and a page of performance notes explaining all the notations. If printed on paper, the one page turn (after the second page of music) is carefully planned to be doable. There are 4 pages of music, 1 page of performance notes (and some extra pages to make sure that the page turns turn out correctly). 

The level is intermediate for pedal harpists.

A lyrical and beautiful pedal harp solo, advanced-intermediate level. As heard on Stephanie Bennett's CD "Stories Seldom Told", available on iTunes, CDBaby.com and harpworld.com. The style moves from a peaceful folk-music feel to flowing impressionism and back again The composer says "I composed this piece one afternoon while watching my beloved cat sleeping. At the end of the recording, I had the engineer add the sound of a cat purring; so I recommend that for full effect, you purr at the conclusion of the piece. Or ask your audience to purr, as I usually do." Fingerings are included, and notations are explained in footnotes at the bottom of each page. If you print it out on paper, make sure the ODD numbered pages are on the RIGHT and the EVEN numbered pages are on the LEFT, which makes the page-turns doable (you turn the page after the right, ODD numbered pages).
