Description
Beautiful and mysterious Chinese melodies from Melinda Johnson ranging from easy (meaning single notes in RH and one to three notes played at a time in the LH), to intermediate (meaning four-note RH chords and 16th note arpeggios). The lowest note that I noticed is the G which is 1 and 1/2 octaves below middle C, so this collection can be played on a Here Lorraine type harp or an older model Dusty 32. Key signatures range from C to Bb to D. Can be played on lever or pedal harp. Love Song of Kang Ding has an optional pedal harp part playing glissandos for 8 bars. Requires E# and B# (could be played by a lever harp tuned in C and putting the E and B levers up).
No lever or pedal changes indicated.
