One hundred hymn tunes in lead sheet format, edited for both lever and pedal harp. Valuable to any church musician and anyone who has reason to play hymns. It works well for solo, and if you share a music stand with a flautist, for example, they can play the melody while you play chords.
Tunes are organized according to five different categories of music composition. Accompanying text gives a complete explanation of these categories with performance suggestions. This collection contains four indexes for easy reference according to: (1) Hymntune; (2) First line of text; (3) Key signature; and, (4) musical category according to text instructions.

On Christmas night all Christians sing to hear the news the angels bring.
On Christmas night all Christians sing to hear the news the angels bring.
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King's birth!

This joyous Christmas song was first published by Luke Wadding, an Irish bishop, in a 17th century collection called Small Garland of Godly and Pious Songs. It became known as ?Sussex Carol? in the early 20th century upon being collected by British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, who heard it being sung by a folk singer in Sussex, England. He later included it in his choral settings, Eight Traditional English Carols and Fantasia on Christmas Carols.

This pedal harp arrangement is in the key of G flat (with a short section in D flat mixolydian for variety, from measures 56 to 65). There are no pedal changes.

The right hand has the melody most of the time, with the left hand accompanying; but the left hand gets to take center stage from measures 33 through 47; again from measures 86 through 89; and again at the end, from measures 100 through 106.

I?ve also made a lever harp arrangement of this song, which is similar except that it?s in the key of G. If you ever wanted to play this arrangement in G instead of G flat, you could do so just by setting the pedals to the key of G at the beginning (and ignoring the key signature).

Perfect for all Christmas events: from church services, to concerts, to parties.

This lever harp arrangement is in the key of G (with a short section in D mixolydian for variety, from measures 56 to 65). There are no lever changes. It is suited for harps with at least 34 strings.

The right hand has the melody most of the time, with the left hand accompanying; but the left hand gets to take center stage from measures 33 through 47; again from measures 86 through 89; and again at the end, from measures 100 through 106.

This arrangement is great for all Christmas events, from church services to concerts to parties.
The YouTube video shows the pedal harp arrangement, which is exactly the same as the lever harp arrangement except that it is in the key of G flat instead of G; and it has ONE extra very low note at the very end.

This is my second original composition for solo harp. I wanted to write a piece that is calm, peaceful, and reflective, but, like our lives, also has moments of uncertainty or sadness. This piece is soothing to play and listen to and is perfect for many different situations including weddings, church services, or harp therapy situations.
This PDF includes two copies of this song, one in the key of Eb and one in the key of D. It is playable on both pedal and lever harps and has no pedal or lever changes. (each version is 2 pages)

This song is dedicated to my oldest daughter, my Aicardi Syndrome warrior, Annie Michelle. I am so blessed and humbled that Heavenly Father has entrusted you to me, and I am truly grateful for each day that I have to be ?here with you.?

This is a unique book, because the arrangements are distinctly gospel and are delightfully accurate in their feel. Lyrics are included, as well as personal notes from the arranger.Please note that there are two versions of Amazing Grace; gospel version and a modern pedal harp version with embellished chords. Lever harps need to be tuned in Eb, C or F. Lever changes are indicated by diamond shapes placed exactly where the left hand needs to change the lever. Pedal changes are placed below the staff. Vertical brackets are indicated where all fingers are played at once, rather than rolled as most harp chords are played. Harmonics are marked where they are played, not where they sound.
Contains: Down by the Riverside, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, Shall we Gather by the River, Lord I want to be Christian, Little Church in the Wildwood, Amazing Grace. Please note that there are two versions of Amazing Grace; gospel version and a modern pedal harp version with embellished chords.
