Whimsical Christmas pieces for alto voice and intermediate lever harp

X.J. Kennedy cycle of poems, "The Beasts of Bethlehem," set to original music by Carol Wood; these simple poems, regarding the presence of animals at the Nativity, remind us of the unity of Creation and sacredness of Nature. Most of the songs are one or two pages in length. The music, written for alto voice, is soothing and evocative at the same time. The harp parts are easy to intermediate, requiring a full range lever harp with levers on F, C, G, D, and A. The accompaniments beautifully underlie and support both the melody and the words. A performance of this work would be a unique way to celebrate the holy days of December. Illustrations accompany many of the pieces. For advanced beginner level pedal or lever harp. 42 pages.

Jaeger, Patricia, Beautiful Dreamer

Item Price: $4.00

Stephen Foster tune arranged for two lever or pedal harps

Two harp arrangement of the Stephen Foster classic. Playable on 34 string lever harp in Eb tuning or on pedal harp. This piece would be approachable for the beginner advanced enough to be playing slow hand-over-hand three note arpeggios and chord placements that required hand crossing, these are the only technical challenges in this version. Harp II has the first harp part printed above it, the second part does not have the harp I part. A few simple lever changes in both parts, these are marked. The harp II part has the entire melody of the song, so it would be fairly easy to have this part read by a C treble instrumentalist ( flute, violin, oboe etc. ) to expand the use of this arrangement.

Harp 3 is written for two hands, and includes one lever change but it is also at the beginner level.
A truly beautiful piece for a beginning harp ensemble!
Includes score and pages with each part written separately.
