From the Publisher Sylvia Woods' harp music books are among the most popular books for harpists at any level. They are playable on lever harps (also called Irish, Celtic, or folk harps) as well as pedal harps (also called concert, grand, or orchestral harps). Her multi-level books are easily accessible for both beginners and advanced players. In these books, Sylvia has created two arrangements for each piece: an easy version, and one that is more difficult. Beginners can start with the easy version, and work their way up to the harder one. The two versions can also be played back to back to make a more varied arrangement. More advanced players and pedal harpists can add extra notes and chords to the harder version, making their own unique arrangement. The two versions can also be played together as a duet From the Author This book has become the standard Christmas book for harp players of all levels. New harpists can start learning some melodies at one of their first lessons. I also hear from professional harpists who have been performing for dozens of years who still use this book as their Bible at Christmas time, because they can just go to a gig and play through the pieces, adding their own embeillishments, without having to spend a lot of practice time.
