Joy to the World/Ding Dong Merrily on High
$5.00
Claire Swanson’s “Joy to the World/Ding Dong Merrily on High” medley combines carols by George F. Handel and Thoinot Arbeau for solo lever or pedal harp. Repeated arpeggios in the right hand bring a lively, rhythmic movement to this exciting arrangement. There is one key change in the piece requiring several fast lever changes.
This piece is available as a PDF download for $5.00.

Claire seamlessly combines these two songs beautifully. The arrangement has an energy that builds, with full chords, octaves, glisses, and a key change. I love playing this advanced lever piece. All of Claire’s arrangements for purchase on Harp Column are fantastic, e.g. O Come, O come Emmanuel; Infant Holy; Noel Nouvelet; and I Wonder as I Wander, all of which are complex, unique and a great addition to the Christmas/holiday repertoire.
