The Nightingale<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

by Deborah Henson-Conant<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This is one of my favorite pieces in my gig book. I often start my sets with it because it has a beautiful, calming melody and it is approximately four minutes long, making it a great opener for any event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Calm<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

by Maeve Gilchrist<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

As its name suggests, this piece reflects “blissful stillness that can come upon the water every now and then,” says Gilchrist. Its tranquil melody is expressed in beautiful, legato phrases.<\/p>\n

Pandora<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

by Aiga Helmer<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This joyful piece is a welcome upbeat addition to any event repertoire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Always Forever<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

by Jodi Ann Tolman<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

If you are looking for the ultimate calming piece, look no further. Let the simple melody and arpeggio accompaniment float you away to your serene happy place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond the Loch<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Laura Zaerr<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This stately, calming melody with Scottish influences is perfect for weddings and church settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simple Gifts<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Sylvia Woods<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I love Sylvia’s arrangement of this classic American shaker hymn. It includes many variations on the melody and is always a hit with audiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Water is Wide<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Jane Allen<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You can’t go wrong with having this tune in your gig book. Jane’s version is written in a classical style perfect for weddings, church services, and background events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh Shenandoah<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Corkey Christman<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This popular American folk song is always well-received. This relaxing, sparkly arrangement includes six verses of the melody.<\/p>\n

Grone Lunden<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Fabio Rizza<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This is a new favorite tune of mine. It has such a captivating, whimsical melody. With this product, you receive both a beginner and intermediate arrangement of this Swedish tune.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suo Gan<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Marilyn Rummel<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Three versions of this soothing Welsh melody are included with this product (beginner, advanced beginner, and intermediate). Play all three as a solo that builds continuously or grab a few other harpists and play it as a trio.<\/span><\/p>\n

O The Beautiful Treasures<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Rhett Barnwell<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Rhett Barnwell has set this hauntingly beautiful Shaker hymn tune in the form of two contrasting verses. The first verse is simple while the second verse uses more active left hand accompaniment patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
