Book (5555B)
This book contains 50 Irish jigs, hornpipes, reels and airs arranged for the harp by Sylvia Woods. This is an excellent book for intermediate and advanced harp players interested in learning about Irish dance tunes, or for those already involved in the Irish music scene. It can be used by groups of musicians as well as harp soloists. In sharp keys with fingerings and chord symbols. 64 pages, spiral-bound.
Companion CD (5555D) or Cassette (5555C)
The companion CD or cassette will assist harp players learning the pieces in this book. Since many of you will want to “play along” as you are learning, Sylvia has recorded most of the pieces slower than they are usually played, and as “straight” as possible, with little or no expression or rhythmic variations. The pieces are in the same order as in the book Most people find the CD easier to use than the cassette, because you can go directly to a specific track.
The prices of the “Book and CD” or “Book and Cassette” sets listed above are $2 off the price of the products if purchased separately.
