Lever Harp - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1380924 Composed by Rachael Acheson. Classical,Film/TV,Halloween,Medieval,Spiritual. Score. 3 pages. TheHarpLibrarian #965699. Published by TheHarpLibrarian (A0.1380924). This is my first original composition for small solo harp. I like to think it gives spooky filmscore / Wednesday Addams vibes, with a neoclassical air, while still remaining very accessible to a less-experienced musician with a small, simple, or budget instrument.It is in the key of A minor (i.e. no sharps or flats) with no lever changes. It should also already fit the range of most common small harp models, including Harpsicle harps (even if your model has no levers!), Roosebeck Pakistani harps (it goes no lower than the F below middle C), Harp-E harps (it goes no higher than your high E), Dusty Strings Ravenna, Musicmakers Sonnet Lap Harp, and others. It can also, obviously, be played on any and all larger harp models.Played at full-speed, some of the turn-arounds in the right-hand, as well as the octave jump in the middle, can prove tricky (as you can see from my own playing in the video!). But played under tempo and more expressively, it could be accessible even to beginner/early-intermediate harpists, so long as you are learning to replace fingers and change directions.Please note that the preview cuts off after the first half-page of score.

I have already uploaded a new pdf with the correct preview, in 3/4 waltz time. But know, in the meantime, that the actual, full score itself is, and has always been, rendered correctly in 3/4 timing.

All kids love dragons and dinosaurs. And we love the concept of this book! Reba Lunsford's very easy pieces for beginning harp players are printed on the left-hand pages, and a more advanced accompaniment is printed on the right-hand page. This allows the teacher to play a nice accompaniment along with the beginning student during their lesson. The accompaniments can also be played as a duet with another harp or piano by the student's sibling, parent, or friend.This book will have the kids wanting to practice! Subtitled Fun Songs for Beginners and Friends, it is an excellent supplement for any teacher of young students. The songs are very short, usually 2 or 3 lines, and have fun lyrics about dragons or dinosaurs. The first 7 songs have fingerings and placing brackets. Each tune has a musical concept the teacher can briefly touch on to reinforce theory, such as eighth notes, placing, measures, time signatures, intervals, accents, arpeggios, glisses, tempo, thumb slides, scales, pickup measure, accidentals, ties, and more. All of the pieces are in the key of C. One piece has a pre-set G#, and another has 2 pre-set flats, but there are no sharping lever changes in the music.Contains: Glowing Orbs in Darkness, Baby Brontosaur Blues, T-Rex, Whispering Wings, Triceratops Waltz, Happy Chinese New Year, Hiding, Hannah's Dragon, The Lost World, Come Out and Play, Dragon Treasure .

Lever Harp - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1468124 Composed by Rachael Acheson. Celtic,Irish,Medieval,New Age,Renaissance,Video Game. Score. 3 pages. TheHarpLibrarian #1046434. Published by TheHarpLibrarian (A0.1468124). This is an original composition for small or beginner harp. I wrote it on a 26-string lap harp, but the range (from the C below middle C to the C above middle C) would fit a harp as small as 22 strings. It is written in A minor, with no sharps, flats, or other lever changes. As such, this piece should be playable on pretty much any standard small or lap harp, regardless of whether it has levers.Suggested harp models include Harpsicle Harps, Dusty Strings Ravenna 26, Musicmakers Sonnet 29, Fireside Harps, Marini Made lap harp models, Roosebeck Pakistani harps, Heartland Harps Air Serenity, Harp-E harps, and so on.The piece was composed to cheer up a fellow harpist who is still at the beginning of their harp journey. It is meant to invoke a medieval castle, and, as such, could be the perfect piece to take to a renaissance fair, an outdoor wedding, a larp-ing event, or perhaps on vacation with you, if you plan on touring any old castles with your small/lap harp in tow and trying out the acoustics.The song is appropriate for beginner harpists. You may need to practice replacing in a few places to avoid buzzing. But the piece only ever requires you to place in one direction at a time and minimizes the amount of time both hands play simultaneously. You can play it slower than I do in the recording, if you choose, and it should still sound nice.Please note that the preview cuts off after the first few measures of score. When you download your purchase, you will recieve a pdf that contains both the preview and the full score.

It creates such a graceful, contemplative atmosphere, perfect for performing in churches, weddings, or simply for your enjoyment. The fingering and lever changes have been carefully chosen and timed to make the piece as comfortable as possible to play. However, you'll find that the right hand is quite taxing and requires concentration to play accurately while staying relaxed!Difficulty Level and Skills Required: Late-intermediate. The right hand plays the melody with a series of long overlapping brackets, scales, and rolled chords. The left hand is less busy, playing many octaves, 10th interval rolled chords, and lever changes.Type of Harp: The big harp version is for 33 strings and larger, but the small harp version works for 26 strings and larger.Range: For big harps: The lowest note is C, two octaves below middle C. The highest note is A, one and a half octaves above middle C. For small harps: The lowest note is C. below middle C. The highest note is G, two and a half octaves above middle C.Levers/Pedals: In the key of G major (F levers set to F sharp). Several F, B, G, and C lever changes throughout. If your harp is tuned in C major, you'll need to tune the B above middle C to B flat for the lever change. Start the piece with the lever set to B natural.

Lever Harp - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1442734 By Nirvana. By Kurt Cobain. Arranged by Laurie Peterson. 20th Century,Grunge,Pop,Punk,Rock. Score. 5 pages. Laurie Peterson #1022711. Published by Laurie Peterson (A0.1442734). This lyrical, haunting song by Nirvana lends itself well to harp. It contains 2 F-sharp to F-natural lever changes (and then back to F-sharp again) that are clearly marked. You're also given enough time to make those lever changes easily. It is intermediate level in the key of A-minor and is for lever harp only, 34 strings or larger. I enjoy playing it so much!

Harp - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.797483 Arranged by Pam Ohms. Christian,Sacred. Score. 7 pages. Afghan Press Music for the Harp #4886099. Published by Afghan Press Music for the Harp (A0.797483). This well-done arrangement has an introduction, interludes, and a beautiful ending. Single note right hand lines, arpeggiated bass, a few chords to add a bit of punch in the middle, and beautiful triplets to wrap up a very interesting arrangement. Written in the key of one sharp, in 3/4 time, and no accidentals.

Harp - Digital Download SKU: A0.912229 Composed by O'Carolan. Arranged by Harpoline. Celtic,Folk,Holiday,World. Score. 3 pages. Harpoline #6208033. Published by Harpoline (A0.912229). These are two beautiful O'Carolan tunes which go very well together. They are both in 6/8 so jig-time. The first should be played a little slower than the second. They are in the key of G, though the second tune is in a modal key. One only needs the F sharp lever. There are no key changes. These pieces have fingering throughout (optional) and some dynamics (optional). Because of the speed of the second jig I reckon one should be of intermediate ability to play this well. Of course with different fingering one could play this on the piano as well.

Some sixteenth note work and triplets on pages three and four. The introductory motif returns to end the piece cohesively. Very well-done.  Written with one sharp and in 3/4 time, there are no accidental or meter changes. Great background or wedding music!
