Companion CD or mp3 downloads
The companion CD or mp3 downloads will assist harp players in 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. The pieces are in the same order as in the book.
Lyrics
Although most of the pieces in this book are dance tunes with no lyrics, four of the selections do have words: Rocky Road to Dublin, Little Beggarman, Carrickfergus, and The Parting Glass. You can download and print a FREE PDF of these lyrics.
