The Short and Sweet  collections consist of sets of full arrangements organized around useful groupings. Each collection includes separate versions for pedal and lever harp when appropriate. In some instances, pieces are offered in transposed keys for harps without full levers. Because the editors feel it is easier to add fingerings you need than to remove fingerings you do not need, few are included in these arrangements. Lever changes are always indicated, pedal changes are sometimes indicated. Short and Sweet music includes only transcriptions and were originally designed for use outdoors so there are no pages turns and when ever possible, arrangements fit on one page.  Own them all, print only what you need.

Before purchasing, please download one of our samples to be sure you can print properly. If printing from the browser window fails, try downloading the file to your hard drive.
