Here's how Kathleen describes this two-piece suite.

Manx Suite: Sheep Under the Snow / The Ploughboy is intermediate level piece for lever or pedal harp based on two traditional Manx melodies. The piece is in the key of G minor (two flats) and begins in triple meter. The musical motif of the introduction sets the scene of a cold wintery day. The beginning air, Sheep Under the Snow, has been noted as one of the most beautiful in the British Isles. It has chord changes and uses the ornamentation of single and double grace notes. During the transition to the Song of the Ploughboy, which is in 6/8 meter, both hands utilize the harp technique of pincé. To create this special sound effect, the thumb and index finger of each hand pinch and pull the string for the notes indicated by the dotted lines. The descending bassline of The Ploughboy is relaxing and grounding. No lever or pedal changes are required. Fingerings are not included.
This 7-page publication has three pages of music. The suite is approximately 4 minutes in length.

Kathleen has three other PDFs of arrangements of Manx music:
Manx Music for Harp
Manx Medley
Manx Folk Songs for Harp: One Hand Alone
