A book of simple and relatively unknown folk tunes from around the world. Very good for students. Nicely arranged for harp – very enjoyable to play, lovely melodies. The majority are within the range of the 26-string harp going to the C below middle C, tuned in C with minimal levers. Very clearly notated. Many fingerings are provided as suggestions. Also available as an e-book. See the e-book section in the left column.

In the below You Tube you will hear 4 samples and view a glimpse of each tune.
