This book consists of arrangements of 17 Irish tunes from the traditional repertoire arranged by Gráinne Hambly for intermediate to advanced harp players. Many are from her Between the Showers CD. Three tunes have two arrangements: one with just the basic melody in the right hand, and another with traditional ornamentation added. Comparing the two versions will give you a sense of how different types of ornamentation can be used to enhance a basic melody. The pieces are in C or sharp keys with some fingerings, and no lever changes.48 pages, spiral-bound.
