Gauntlett&#8217;s &#8220;Once in Royal David&#8217;s City&#8221; is for solo pedal harp. Originally written for children, this song simply tells the story of Jesus Christ who came to earth to be born as a baby into great poverty. Written for early advanced pedal harp, this arrangement is meant to be played very freely. Techniques include left hand harmonics, 3 pedal changes, and glissandi.<\/p>\n<p>This piece is available as a PDF download for <strong>$4.99.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Pages to print:<\/em> 4 pgs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Duration:<\/em> 3:30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":132137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1110],"product_tag":[477],"class_list":["post-132134","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-erin-hansen-janke","product_tag-harp-solo","pa_artist-hansen-erin","pa_composer-gauntlett-henry","pa_genre-sacred","pa_harp-type-harp-pedals","pa_instrumentation-harp-solo","pa_level-advanced","pa_occasion-christmas","pa_occasion-church","first","instock","downloadable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"exclude_global_add_ons":[],"addons":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/132134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132134"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=132134"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=132134"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/harpcolumn.com\/music\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=132134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
