For lever or pedal harp and flute.

Here's how Paulette describes this arrangement.
This medley is based on three traditional Christmas Carols and is well-suited for concerts, church services, and other settings. The harp accompaniment weaves around the flute part and provides the basis for its joyous spirit.
It begins with lovely open chords in Resonet in Laudibus, then transitions to flowing eighth notes in What Child is This, and concludes with bordun open fifth patterns supporting the opening melody of Il Est Né .
The flute part employs the full range of the instrument with sparkling decorations to the melodic material.

Resonet in Laudibus, which translates to "Let Praises Resound" is a 14th-century carol that became popular throughout Europe.
What Child is This is based on the 16th Century English folk song, Greensleeves. The lyrics for this Christmas Carol were written and published in 1867.
Il Est Né (He is Born) utilizes the melody of a 17th-century French folk song with the publishing of the French Christmas Carol lyrics in 1865.

This medley for flute and intermediate lever or pedal harp begins in the key of E-flat (3 flats). It modulates to the key of B-flat (2 flats) for Il Est Né, with two A-natural lever changes. There are no fingerings.
This 8-page PDF includes a 5-page harp and flute score and a 2-page flute part.
