About this title

From the Publisher:

Sylvia Woods' harp music books are among the most popular books for harpists at any level. They are playable on lever harps (also called Irish, Celtic, or folk harps) as well as pedal harps (also called concert, grand, or orchestral harps).

Her multi-level books are easily accessible for both beginners and advanced players. In these books, Sylvia has created two arrangements for each piece: an easy version, and one that is more difficult. Beginners can start with the easy version, and work their way up to the harder one. The two versions can also be played "back to back" to make a more varied arrangement. More advanced players and pedal harpists can add extra notes and chords to the harder version, making their own unique arrangement. The two versions can also be played together as a duet

From the Author:

Don't just think of this book for St Patrick's Day. It is fun to play from all year round. However, if you DO have to play a St Patrick's Day gig, this will get you through it! And if you're playing with other Irish musicians, they can read the chord symbols off of your music and play along.
