New Tunes for Everyone

New arrangements for lever harp and original tunes for pedal harp

—by Jan Jennings

Hal Leonard has published a collection of “accessible solos for both pedal and lever harps” arranged by Mary E. Keppeler entitled First 50 Songs You Should Play on Harp. The book assumes E-flat tuning for lever harps, but they forgot to tell you that one important detail. There are a few instructions from the arranger, the most important being that some notes are written enharmonically. These notes are circled and written this way to preserve the harmonic integrity of the passage.
