Christmas carols for SATB and lever harp

[alexandra-baldwin]

Does anyone have any recommendations for Christmas carols arranged for SATB and lever harp? I will be playing Christmas Eve at a friend’s church and he would like me to do something with the choir. I’m looking for something not too terribly difficult! Thanks!

I’m sorry, I don’t know of anything — but I’m curious — can you hear a lever harp with a four-part chorus?

Angela, that probably can depend on the choir and the acoustics. I’ve accompanied about a dozen trained voices on my Thormahlen without pushing the volume and had no troubles. I don’t know the tipping point, but we were nowhere near it. I imagine the 70 voice choirs of some churches I’ve attended would be too much.

It’s not quite that large a group 🙂 I’ve played with them before, and the balance seems fine… maybe I’m just loud!

You may want to look at Carol Him Sweetly by Ruth Elaine Schram. I bought it through http://www.sheetmusicplus.com. It is written for SATB, harp. It is original music combined with Silent Night. There are no accidentals in the harp part.

Alexandra, Twenty Carols With a Friend is scored for Treble 1, Treble 2, Viola, Cello, and harp with no added accidentals. Herald Music is the publisher and most specialty harp music dealers carry it in the U.S. and several foreign countries. The harp part is easy enough for a harp student who has had one year of lessons. You can e-mail me for a sample page or two.
