An excellent compilation of 3 separate 6 part medleys exhibiting the all of the Christmas favorites. 18 tunes make up the 3 medleys. Also includes lyrics. Arranged for lever harp but the same compilation is arranged for pedal harp in Ray Pool's "3 Christmas Medleys for Pedal Harp." Intermediate level. 41 pages.

This book contains pieces from Ray Pool's CD "The Crystal Spring." These traditional hymns are given new life in Pool's wonderful arrangements. He occassionally spices them up with jazzy harmonies, but they are never out of character.

Originally developed for students in the 'Bedsides Harp' therapy program, this collection assists harpists in the study of playing from a fake book or in lead sheet format. Ray Pool utilizes "enhanced lead sheet format," a term he defines as "educational with a performance orientation as the ultimate goal. A solo melody line and chord symbols are given the same style of a traditional 'Fake Book.' However, extra information and suggestions are provided to facilitate the performance." This collection is designed to suit the needs of any harpist looking to broaden their repertoire, but would be extremely useful to those specializing in "Harp Therapy" and public location performances. Basic Chord Theory knowledge is required.
