The “Simple Pleasures with Friends” series, created by Evelyn Tiffany-Castiglioni, gives the beginning harp player or any harpist short of time fine tunes in easily accessible settings. The harp parts are technically accessible yet full-sounding. Each one-page, musically satisfying harp arrangement can be played as a solo or mixed and matched with the three treble/cello/viola parts (melody, descant, and harmony). Guitar chords are included, as well as harp fingerings and placing brackets.
