This arrangement of the traditional Polish tune is simple, yet effective and beautiful. There are three verses that build on each other. Each verse stands alone if students want to play them individually. Rummel also has an intermediate solo and harp trio version available.

This charming, traditional Polish tune evokes a warm, cozy, and calm atmosphere perfect for the winter season.
I Wonder as I Wander
arr. Claire Swanson
Every note is thoughtfully placed in this arrangement of the popular Appalachian folk song. It is absolutely stunning and oh-so-calming.
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
arr. Francois Couture
A jazzy take on a Christmas classic, this will be a fun and unique addition to your holiday concert or this season’s gig book.
*Sussex Carol
arr. Stephanie Bennett
This arpeggio-filled, uplifting version of the English carol is an absolute delight to play! I love the use of harmonies and rolled chords. Bennett offers the arrangement for both lever and pedal harp.
