The Three Ravens by Suzanne Guldimann includes 34 ballads from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Lyrics are included, along with historical notes on the pieces.
Although Suzanne Guldimann has arranged these songs for lap harps, they are fun to play on any size harp. The range of the music is 2½ octaves, from a C up to a G, and can be played on most lap harps, whether their range is C to C, or G to G. Arranged for advanced beginners to intermediate harp players. Chord symbols are included so that more advanced players, and players with larger harps, can add more notes to the arrangements. Fingerings are included. Suzanne, also a fine artist, created the cover artwork and illustrations. 72 pages, paperbound.
