*Yuletide Cheer<\/a>
\narr. Philip Hayden<\/span><\/h4>\n

Sometimes we all need a little musical comfort food, and that\u2019s exactly what this collection of six traditional carols, arranged by Philip Hayden and edited by Rhett Barnwell, brings to the table. (Included are \u201cGood Christian Friends, Rejoice,\u201d \u201cBring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella,\u201d \u201cAway in a Manger,\u201d \u201cMasters in This Hall,\u201d \u201cOn This Day Earth Shall Ring,\u201d and \u201cSilent Night.\u201d) With a range of just over three octaves and no pedal or lever changes during any of the pieces, the tunes are very accessible to intermediate players, those with smaller harps, and those who just don\u2019t want to think too hard on a cold winter\u2019s night (guilty). The easy-to-read collection is anchored by a solid rhythmic structure, and I enjoyed the unexpected harmonies and interludes scattered throughout. Whether you\u2019re rusty this holiday season from lack of practice (also guilty) or just looking for a new take on the same old carols, this simple and easy compilation will fit the bill nicely.<\/span><\/p>\n

*A Flickering Candle<\/a>
\n<\/span>by Debbie Vinick<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

A colleague recently pointed out to me the lack of holiday music for faiths other than Christian on Harp Column Music, and the truth is, there just isn\u2019t as much written for the harp to celebrate other religions. So we were excited when Debbie Vinick sent us her original composition \u201cA Flickering Candle,\u201d which comes in both pedal and lever versions. The simple, one-page tune evokes the harmonies you would find in a traditional Hebrew melody, and would fit in nicely at any worship service or wedding. Give it a try the next time you need to add a non-Christian holiday tune to your set list! <\/span><\/p>\n

*Il est n\u00e9<\/a>
\n<\/span>arr. Heather Cornelius<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

Do harpists really need another arrangement of the ever-popular traditional French carol \u201cIl est n\u00e9?\u201d We\u2019ll let you be the judge of that, but only after you listen to the new version by Harp Column\u2019s news editor Heather Cornelius. I confess that this tune has always been one of my holiday favorites, so I\u2019m always on the lookout for a new take on the familiar melody. With the addition of some harmonies I hadn\u2019t heard before, some fun rhythmic soundboard slapping, and easy-to-read typesetting with well-placed page turns, Cornelius\u2019 rendition of the old standard will definitely be at the top of my playlist this holiday season. <\/span><\/p>\n

*A Christmas Cwtch<\/span><\/a>
\nby Amanda Whiting<\/em><\/h4>\n

Whether I\u2019m playing or listening to music in December, I love finding good arrangements of lesser-known Christmas songs or, better yet, completely new holiday tunes to add to my playlist. \u201cA Christmas Cwtch\u201d by Amanda Whiting is the newest addition to my holiday season setlist. This original song, written by the Welsh jazz harpist for <\/span>Harp Column\u2019s<\/span><\/i> popular Tear-Out Tunes series last year, is accessible for intermediate lever harpists and adaptable for advanced pedal harpists. With lush rolled chords, some twinkly arpeggios, and an optional improvisation section, the music can be as simple or as challenging as you choose. I love how fresh it sounds, while still having that warmth you want to hear at the holidays. Just when the listener might start to wonder if this is <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> a Christmas tune, Whiting dispels any doubt with a little echo of \u201cJingle Bells\u201d at the end!<\/span><\/p>\n

Silver Bells<\/a>
\narr. Liana Alpino<\/em><\/h4>\n

Harpists just get it. How refreshing is it to play an arrangement of a song where the notes just fall into your fingers? That\u2019s exactly the experience you\u2019ll have playing this arrangement of the classic Christmas tune \u201cSilver Bells,\u201d arranged by Nashville harpist Liana Alpino (full disclosure: Alpino is the managing editor of Harp Column Music). The first verse is a simple, yet beautiful statement of the well-known melody. Alpino adds a little holiday sparkle to the second verse with some colorful arpeggios, sounding more difficult than it is to play. That\u2019s a harpist\u2019s holiday dream come true!<\/span><\/p>\n

*Huron Carol<\/a>
\narr. Anna Hagen<\/em><\/h4>\n

While I don\u2019t like the waning sunlight as we approach the winter solstice, I love music that captures the feel of the moonlight of this season. Anna Hagen\u2019s arrangement of the traditional “Huron Carol” emits this low-light glow in musical form. While the right hand carries the hauntingly beautiful melody throughout, the left hand does the heavy lifting of the rhythmic pulse for the piece. The music is well marked, and Hagen even provides fingering to take any guesswork out of the arrangement that works on both lever and pedal harp. <\/span><\/p>\n

*Christmas on Bainbridge<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>by Alexandra Genova<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

Alexandra Genova\u2019s original holiday solo is bursting with joy and spirit. It feels like the perfect soundtrack for a classic Christmas romance, straight out of a Lifetime<\/em> movie. The piece features beautifully stacked harmonies in blocked chords that evoke the rich, resonant sound of holiday bells ringing\u2014pure seasonal magic!<\/p>\n

*Arabian Dance<\/a>
\narr. Eileen C.K. Shafer<\/span><\/h4>\n

I was thrilled to see an intermediate solo from The Nutcracker<\/em> submitted to Harp Column Music this year. Tchaikovsky’s ballet is a quintessential part of the holiday season, and including a classic melody from the masterpiece brings a refreshing change to the usual holiday setlist packed with traditional carols. Shafer’s arrangement is easy to read and very festive with its inclusion of soundboard knocking and ornamentation.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Infant Holy<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>arr. Claire Swanson<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

Claire Swanson\u2019s arrangement of this traditional Polish carol has a way of striking just the right chord\u2014it\u2019s truly captivating and keeps you on the edge of your seat, eager to hear each new phrase. The flowing left-hand notes, paired with the gentle rolled chords, create a beautiful blend of peace and yearning. I performed this piece in my holiday recital last year, and it\u2019s a must-have for any future holiday setlist!<\/p>\n

*Year’s End<\/a>
\nby Diana Stork<\/em><\/h4>\n

In all the holiday flurry, sometimes you need to sit down and play something for yourself. I find this piece soothing and refreshing, and Diana Stork also describes it as a chance to express emotions and thoughts and reflect on life at the end of the year. Most of the piece features gentle, pensive rolled chords, with a few brief dance-like sections sprinkled in. I can picture playing this piece not just during the holidays, but also for background music at any time of year.<\/span><\/p>\n

*In The Bleak Midwinter<\/a>
\narr. Rhett Barnwell<\/em><\/h4>\n

I\u2019ve always associated this carol with a cold, clear winter day with fresh snow on the ground and ice clinging to the trees. This lovely arrangement captures the magical atmosphere of \u201cmidwinter\u201d with graceful ornaments and crisp rhythms. Rhett Barnwell sets the mood with an introduction so fitting it feels like it should be part of the original melody! <\/span><\/p>\n

*The First Noel<\/a>
\narr. Brook Boddie<\/em><\/h4>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s nice to have an arrangement that hints at a familiar carol without repeating several verses of the tune. This fantasy-style arrangement, based on an improvisation by Brook Boddie, includes just enough of the melody to identify it, with free paraphrases and interludes.<\/span><\/p>\n

*The Skaters Waltz<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/i>arr. Anne Sullivan<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

This delightful waltz by \u00c9mile Waldteufel is arranged for solo harp with an optional second harp part. While the solo part is more difficult and would require practice, it would be a great addition to Christmas programs or your holiday gig list. I especially like the middle section with the bouncy eighth notes! The optional second harp part is at an intermediate level and would be a nice option for a teacher\/student duet.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Carol of the Twelve Days<\/a>
\n<\/span>by Eileen C.K. Shafer<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

If you’re looking for an out-of-the box medley for holiday concerts, this arrangement by Eileen C.K. Shafer unexpectedly combines “Twelve Days of Christmas” and “Carol of the Bells”. It took me a few times of playing through it to appreciate how the two melodies interact, so don’t give up too soon! Also, this arrangement works best when played at a faster tempo.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Little Elfy (Easy Version)<\/a>
\n<\/span>by Pedal Sliders<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

Holiday classics can be fun, but it’s always nice to have a few “holiday-ish” original pieces on hand! Amanda Whiting’s original version<\/a> of this jazzy solo is for pedal harp and quite chromatic. However, she just released an easy version that is playable on lever (or pedal) harp by advanced beginners. The improvisation section is optional, but give it a try\u2014it might be your favorite part!<\/span><\/p>\n

*”Pastorale” from The Christmas Concerto<\/a>
\n<\/span>arr. Debbie Vinick<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

Traditionally performed at Christmas Eve services, \u201cPastorale\u201d has that Christmas touch that blends it seamlessly into the lineup of classic carols. Masterfully and yet simply arranged for lever harp, this Baroque movement is rich in harmony, true to the original scoring, and easy enough to play without much effort! I was able to sight-read the arrangement comfortably, thanks to Debbie Vinick\u2019s well-marked fingerings and dynamics. Middle C is the only string that requires lever changes throughout. This gentle and tranquil piece well deserves a spot in your Christmas gig book! <\/span><\/p>\n

Sussex Carol<\/a>
\n<\/span>arr. Harriet Adie<\/span><\/em><\/h4>\n

Harriet Adie\u2019s lilting arrangement of “<\/span>Sussex Carol” <\/span>will put you straight into the Christmas spirit from the first arpeggio! The arpeggiated motif is big and festive, with the loveliest harmonic and pedal changes. Each verse presents in a different style, which maintains interest for the performer and audience. I love Christmas pieces that stand out creatively, and this arrangement is definitely one of those! Start practicing now\u2014this piece demands a good amount of technical skill and endurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

This arrangement is absolutely <\/span>captivating<\/span><\/i>. I listen to it on repeat without getting tired of it. The creativity, the flair, the musicality\u2014this fresh take on Carol of the Bells embodies the magic of Christmas. The bell-like harmonics, subtle syncopation, alternate melodies, and rhythmic twists make this piece so <\/span>fun<\/span><\/i>. Grace Bauson absolutely needs to churn out some more Christmas arrangements for Harp Column Music. If you have not heard this piece, click on the link now to take a listen!
