For lever or pedal harp.

Here's how Kathleen describes this music:

This intermediate arrangement for pedal or lever harp of Down in Yon Forest in D minor (1 flat) includes two different melodies, one from the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and the other from England.  The first tune was collected by John Jacob Niles.  The second melody, in a relaxed 6/8 meter, was collected from Mr. Hall in Castleton in Derbyshire by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1906 or 1907.  My inspiration for this arrangement draws on the title itself.  In our time when forests and the habitat of birds are endangered, my focus is on the woodlands. This resting heart rate music is appropriate for providing comfort and relaxation.  The arrangement utilizes special harp techniques such as rolled chords, arpeggios, gentle glissandi, and grace notes.  Fingerings are not included. The inset on the cover is my watercolor painting, Bluebird on Flame Azalea, both of which are native to North Carolina. I hope this music will open your hearts to the beauty and wonder of nature.  This 8-page publication includes four pages of music.  The performance duration is 5 minutes.
