Description
An excellent collection of traditional and medieval carols from Austria, Czechoslovakia, England, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Puerto Rico, Sicily, Spain, and the Ukraine. Included are Christmas favorites as well as pieces never before arranged for harp. These elegant arrangements are for the intermediate level player. About half of the pieces are written in the key of G; most of the others are in C; three are in B flat and two are written in the keys of F and D. Most pieces do not change key. Where key changes occur both pedal and lever harp markings are clearly indicated and some fingerings are also noted. The book contains a valuable history of the Christmas carol and song lyrics at the back. 26 pieces, 83 pages, spiral bound. Also available as a PDF download.
