Here's an original arrangement of the lovely waltz from "Howl's moving castle"

Enjoy playing with a nice polished writting for string instruments that makes the piece sound and feel very "danceable".

Every note and articulation is carefully placed to make it feel easy to play inspite the difficulty of the piece (specially for the first violin).

Enjoy playing it as much as i enjoyed writing it!

A lever harp arrangement of Merry Go Round of Life by Joe Hisaishi from Howl?s Moving Castle. It can be tricky to play on the harp but it?s definitely very beautiful! For this arrangement, I tried to preserve as many harmonies as possible. In the video, the tempo played at is around 70bpm (slower than the original) to give enough time for the many lever changes. But the tempo can of course be adjusted according to skill level.

Suitable for advanced intermediate level players on lever harps tuned in Eb major. Sheet music has lever change markings indicated. A guide to the harp octaves has been included in the PDF.

Key: G minor
Lever/Pedal changes: Multiple
Range: C6 ? F1

**Note: There are minor revisions to the score from 14 April 2021 based on feedback (thank you!).

If you purchased it before that, the revisions made are as follows:
1) Measure 4 (RH) ? Eb down to D at the minim
2) Measure 14 ? Enat6 lever can be set from the beginning of the piece
3) Measure 79 (RH) ? A down to G
4) Measure 82 (LH) - Eb down to D
5) Measure 96 (LH) ? Eb down to C
6) Measure 97 (LH) ? Eb down to A
