Here is an easy instrumental duet arrangement (for BOWED PSALTERY solo with PIANO accompaniment) of the classic hymn tune BEACH SPRING. Many lyrics have been set to this tune attributed to Benjamin F. White, including
Come, All Christians, Be Committed and
God of Day and God of Darkness. The psaltery part was designed for a beginning psaltery player and is written in the key of F major with only 1 flat (B♠= A♯). The piano accompaniment is at the intermediate level.
To assist those new to reading music notation, two solo parts are included: one is the standard music notation. The second solo part is identical to the standard music but includes the note names below each note (example A, B, C…).
The PSALTERY plays the melody throughout. An optional repeat is included in case a longer song is desired. A piano accompaniment and/or rehearsal track (MP3 format) is available for this arrangement as a separate purchase:
Beach Spring (Piano Accompaniment Track for Easy Bowed Psaltery Solo).The range of a typical soprano psaltery is two octaves beginning with the G above middle C (G4). However, since some psalteries have fewer than 25 strings, the range for this song is just over 1 octave. Also, the notes are written an octave lower on the staff so they are easier to read and learn for beginner musicians.
The notated range for this song is C4 (middle C) to D5 (second D above middle C).The purchase price includes a combined score (grand staff, 3-stave) with both parts (PSALTERY and PIANO) on each page, plus 2 options for the 1-staff solo part (one in standard notation, one with alphabetic note names). The solo part could also be played by other instruments with the same range such as a violin.
