For lever or pedal harp.

William Jackson has finally put some of his music down on paper, so that the rest of us can play it as well. This first book by William includes the solo harp arrangements of all of the pieces on his Ancient Harp of Scotland CD. Only the first repeat of each tune is notated in the book. As William says in his informative introduction:
"In traditional music, the written music is only a guide, and is open to individual interpretation . . . My arrangements are not easy to pin down -- no two performances of a piece would sound the same."
The pieces range from 3 flats to 2 sharps, with no fingerings. For advanced beginners through intermediate players. 48 pages.

This product is a PDF file, to be downloaded to your computer. We do not sell it as regular printed music. It is only available here in this PDF download format.

Billy Jackson is the Best!

I was judged by him at the Highland Games in Doswell, and am so glad I picked up his book. These are all particularly poignant Scottish pieces. My favorite is Cro Chinn t-Saile. It is so exquisite, you cannot believe that the words really mean, "I'm going down to the cattle..." This is the true ancient music, if you are fond of modal stuff, as I am!

I loved the CD Ancient Harp of Scotland and was happy to see that there was a music book to this CD, because it makes your harp fingers itching! William Jackson's arrangements are from intermediate to advanced. Most pieces go over several pages and they just sound great. It is a lot of fun playing from this book!
