Description
Fresh, harpistic arrangements of Christmas favorites. Some pieces have no accidentals and are suitable for lever harp. Some have tricky accidentals that make them more suitable for pedal harp. Some fingerings marked, pedal markings are under the staff, lever changes are not marked. There are glisses and grace notes. Unusual harmonizations with little use of the dominant chord and with chord substitutions. Running left hand notes in each piece. Jan Jennings says in the Harp Column Music Review, Nov/Dec 2009: “… the end result is an assortment of sweet, appealing, and reasonably easy arrangements of popular Christmas carols.” 30 pages.
