Hymns and Wedding Music For All Harps products by Sylvia Woods
arranged for beginning and advanced harpists
This book includes Sylvia Woods' multi-level arrangements of 33 popular hymns, 3 wedding processionals and recessionals, and a special section of 7 Jewish pieces for joyous occasions. Each piece has two arrangements: an easy version, and one that is more difficult. A duet version of Schubert's Ave Maria for harp and flute, violin or voice is also included. This book is invaluable for anyone playing for weddings or church services. 96 pages spiral-bound.
Companion CD or Cassette
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. Most people find the CD easier to use than the cassette, because you can go directly to a specific track.
In the book each piece has two arrangements: (A) an easy version, and (B) one that is more difficult. On these recordings Sylvia plays version "A" directly followed by version "B". Since the two versions can be played as a duet, so you can play either version along with the recording. The pieces are in the same order as in the book.
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.
The Companion CD includes all the pieces from this book. The Companion Cassette ALSO includes the Harp and Flute version of Pachelbel's Canon from the Pachelbel's Canon book.
Lyrics
Sylvia Woods has included the lyrics in most of her books of songs, because it is fun to be able to sing-along (at least in your head) while you're playing. However, some of her earliest books, including the first edition of this one, did not include the lyrics.
The 2nd edition, which was printed in 2010, does have the lyrics included.
If you have the first edition of this book, you can get the lyrics in two ways.
#1. You can download and print a FREE PDF of these lyrics.
#2. You can purchase the Lyrics Booklet for only $2.95. It includes the lyrics for this book, as well as lyrics from Teach Yourself to Play the Folk Harp and Irish Dance Tunes.
