The Flower Duet is from the 1883 opera Lakmé by Léo Delibes. Normally sung by 2 women, Sylvia has arranged this lovely song for solo harp. Although you may not be familiar with the title of his lyrical piece, you have probably heard it in commercials for companies such as Ghirardelli Chocolate and British Airways. The sheet music includes two 2-page versions, both in the key of A (3 sharps). They are basically the same, except that one is for lever harps tuned to C, and the other requires a B-flat. Fingerings are included, as well as lever and pedal changes. For intermediate players.

I volunteer in the healing harps group at Eisenhower Hospital in Rancho Mirage California. I played The Flower Duet today to open my two hours and end it. I have wanted this piece for years. Thank you! You made me, the patiends and Nurses that I play for very happy.
A lovely song

If you haven't heard this song yet, you really need to get to know it. This is a nice arrangement, not too difficult, that would be great for weddings or a set of classical music.
