Eight popular Christmas pieces arranged beautifully for beginner harpists. All pieces can be played as solos or duos, as each piece includes an optional accompaniment part for a more advanced harpist or pianist. An intermediate level book with the same pieces is available as well. The beginner, intermediate, and accompaniment parts can all be played together. Teachers can play along with students or form duo, trio and small ensemble groups for recitals.

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.

Six-page medley consisting of three lovely tunes: Good King Wenceslas, Silent Night and and Away in a Manger. The left hand is fairly sparse utilizing mostly sustained single notes. Right hand has parallel thirds and sixths, and on a variation of Good King Wenceslas these are broken (with melody in the thumb.) There is a modulation to Silent Night with two clearly marked lever changes and another modulation to the key of F with three clearly marked lever changes over three measures (going into Away in a Manger). The left hand takes the melody for a portion of Away in a Manger. Great for the lower intermediate player or the advanced beginner, especially adults with prior musical experience. Chords are marked.
