For the Beauty of the Earth (Terra Beata S.M.D.)
In the key of G (one sharp), with no lever changes, this is a great choice for students comfortable with LH octaves, RH 6ths, Alberti bass and scale passages. This arrangement of three minutes in length includes an introduction, three verses and coda that is suitable for any harp, including 3 octave harp, C-c or G-c.

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna (Ellacombe)
Beginning and ending with glissandi, this is a perfect choice for Palm Sunday. If you can place four notes in a row and find thirds predictably, you should have no problems learning this. Three pages in length, in the key of C, about three minutes long and suitable for three octave harp, C-c or G-c. This works for any harp and doesn't feel like a "beginner" piece of music and is long enough for use as offertory or prelude. Fingerings are included.
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent sample
This three page arrangement uses open fifths and scale passages in the accompaniment. The "second verse" is the same for the RH as the first verse making this quick to learn for a new student. Many first year students learn this and keep it in their repertoire for years. key of e minor (one sharp), suitable for 22 string harps C-c or G-g. 44 KB
Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Mastery of thirds and root position triads are needed to successfully learn this arrangement of a well known hymn by William Bradbury. Two versions are included, one in the key of D (fits 3 octave harps G-g) and the key of C for those lacking levers. Each version is about 3 minutes long.
Silent Night, Holy Night sample
Includes two versions of two pages each: one with no intervals larger than a third and another that requires mastery of the sixths as well. Students may learn the easier version the first year and add the more difficult version the next. Many students keep this in their repertoire for many years. In the key of C so that many other versions, like the one in Sylvia Woods' book, may be paired with this to create a longer solo. zip archive 100 KB

We Three Kings sample
This is a set of three different versions, very
beginning (one page) with only single notes and thirds, right hand and
left hand playing the same thing an octave apart, a skill building version and an
intermediate version. The beginning intermediate version (three pages)
uses thirds and three note
chords in the RH, mostly single notes in the LH. There are optional LH
harmonics and broken three note chords in the accompaniment based upon
common shapes to harpists. The intermediate version includes
a setting for 22 string harps that does not go below the C at the bottom
of the bass clef staff. key of e minor (one sharp). suitable
for 22 string harps C-c or G-g. zip archive 112 KB
