Kim Robertson’s arrangement of the Scottish folk song “Auld Lang Syne” is for solo lever or pedal harp. Set to Robert Burns’ poem, the tune has become popular to sing on New Year’s Day. This arrangement includes two versions of the melody: the older one used by Burns and the more well-known one today. The two can be played together for a nice melody.
