​This book contains four pieces of music from late French Romanticism, arranged for lever harp. In all the pieces the timbre resources of the instrument are exploited to the maximum, with the use of harmonics sounds, notes at the soundboard, glissandos etc. Nevertheless, the arrangements are of intermediate difficulty, accessible to non-professional instrumentalists and students.

This collection includes the arrangement for lever or pedal harp of 3 traditional folk songs (loch lomond, the water is wide, blue bells of scotland).

Cool, unique, FUN! If you or your students are tired of the "same old", this book is for you! Eight original pieces in varying styles: waltz, jazz, variation, Irish, contemporary, and more. Appropriate for both C and Eb tunings. A special effects guide can be found at the beginning of the book. Some of the songs are very simple, some are intermediate and some are upper intermediate. Many use the full range of the harp. All are excellent teaching material, and the upper intermediate selections can be used as background music or in recitals.
