Add this collection of 21 enchanting arrangements (including "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence," "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella," and "The Holly and the Ivy") to your Christmas gig bag. These renditions shine as solos but have the richness to cut through background chatter at a holiday party. Evoking an ancient rather than modern setting, they contain variations that intermediate through advanced harpists will find both intricate and satisfying. The entire book can be played cover-to-cover in fifty-five minutes. Suitable for lever harps with 33 strings or more. Contains dynamics, chords, and some fingering suggestions.
