This comprehensive new book is a seminal collection of Irish harp music. It was published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Cairde na Cruite, the society dedicated to the revivial and development of interest in the Irish harp. Rogha na gCruitirí, Harpers' Choice gives a unique insight into 21st century Irish harping and reflects the diverse character of Irish harp-playing today. Arranged by many of the leading Irish harpers, the 100 selections include newly-composed pieces, arrangements of traditional tunes, music drawn from the great 16th and 17th collections of harpers' music, dance music, and song airs. Detailed notes and reference sources as well as biographical details of the arrangers are included. The music is for intermediate harp players, and fingerings are not included. The keys range from 2 flats to 3 sharps, with most of the pieces in the key of C or sharp keys. Some pieces require lever changes. There are 6 arrangements for harp ensembles, and 5 songs for voice with harp accompaniment.

This amazing book is a welcome addition to the Irish harp repertoire.
