This piece is a perfect student/teacher duet for the beginner.  Harp 1 is a single-note melody line while Harp 2 provides an accompaniment of chords, RH running eighth notes, RH parallel thirds, and parallel tenths split between the hands.  Harp 2 does contain the melody throughout, so it could be a solo as well.

The duet version is a wonderful opportunity for students who have never performed in recital or church service before to “dip their toes in.”  Abundantly clear fingerings are included in Harp 1; sparser fingerings in Harp 2.

Included are a score and two separate parts.  Harp 1 also has chord symbols above the melody line, making it useful as a lead sheet.  ALL HARPS, EARLY BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE.
