Description
From the arranger:
“Ethnic Music for the Lap Harp contains 30 pieces of folk songs, chants, hymns and lullabies from Native American, Scandinavian and European sources. The arrangements are appropriate for a small lever harp with 20-22 strings and starting with G below middle C tuned in Eb or C. The songs are very accessible and appropriate for mid-beginner to intermediate players with limited or easy lever changes.”
Please note that “Skye Boat Song,” “Suo Gan,” and “Londonderry Air,” are also contained in the book Celtic Music.
