Twenty creative arrangements for lever harp

by Janie Taylor

“Macaroni and cheese for the harp! This music is like good comfort food, uncomplicated yet richly satisfying. These imaginative arrangements are musically pleasing yet fairly quickly learned: easy on the harpist and easy on the listener.

“Most of this music evolved from my playing therapy harp at the bedside and is purposely spare – not too many notes. But the music is easily accessible for playing pretty tunes anytime, anywhere. The collection starts with soothing music, then familiar pieces most of us know and love, then up-tempo tunes, and finishes with some well-known hymns.

“May the music enrich you and your listeners with comfort and, in the words of the Irish blessing, with deep peace.” Janie Taylor
