    Hi Katie,
    I just played Edvard Grieg’s Peer-Gynt Suite 2 with a youth orchestra. Solveigs Song is the only harp accommpained part, but it is amazing and it’s quite simple. Hope I could help you.

    Hi. Im in my school orchestra too. You should look around a bit and see if you can find bernard sekels serenade for strings. The Harp part is very easy and it has a few instruments in it. Debussy’s Dances for harp and strings are Ridiculously hard, at one point my teacher gave ravels introduction and Allegro. Also its worth looking out for Malcolm Arnold’s 4 Scottish Dances. Im pretty sure it has some harp in it. And also Look for Debussy “dance’ which was originally written for piano but made for orchestra. It uses the harp distinctly and it just sounds awesome.

    The Arnold has a very nice harp part that is not too easy. Rimsky-Korsakov and other Russian classic composers have many pieces worth learning, and some are not difficult.
