All Around the World ($15.00)
a collection of melodies uniquely familiar to specific countries or parts of the world.

Availble from Melody's Music at folkharp.com

Just as certain foods can be the comforting “taste” of a culture, music can be its comforting “sound”. Adding a sprinkling of music from around the world to your repertoire will offer unexpected moments of delight to those listening. For those who play in a therapeutic music setting, a familiar folk song can bring a sense of nostalgia to a person in pain or discomfort.

Decades of playing steady engagements in Chicago proved over and over that hearing music from one’s homeland offers great comfort to those who have moved to a new culture. Whether the move is to another part of our country, or another part of the world, regional and local music is a big part of what makes our native land feel like home.

This collection was created with lever harpists in mind, but can be useful to a wide variety of other instrumentalists. Lever harp friendly keys have been chosen with lever presets and lever changes indicated in most of the selections. There's a longer description here.

Angelic Proclamations - an adjustable length medley for the Christmas Season

Free for the asking. Please email your request.

More often than not I'm asked to provide a prelude of unspecified length for an Advent or Christmas eve service. This medley of carols, all of which have to do with Angelic Proclamations is my solution to the problem of what to list in the program. These carols combined in lead sheet format complete with introduction and interludes will fill just about any amount of time needed. Played as notated, taking each repeat only once, the collection of Angelic carols will give you about 10 minutes of music. By repeating some carols fewer or more times, you can alter the length to suit the moment. Lever changes are marked, pedals are not.
Lever changes are indicated, pedal changes are not.

Three versions:
pedal harp: 8 pages, 12 carols
lever harp: 8 pages, 11 carols (requires two sharps and optional B flat) (22 strings C-c, easily adapted for G-g)
lever free harp: 7 pages, 10 carols (key of C)
