Cold December Winds - A New Collection of Old Christmas Carols arranged for lap harp by Suzanne Guldimann,
By
This review is from: Cold December Winds: A New Collection of Old Christmas Carols, Arranged for Lap Harp (Paperback)
This is a great collection of not so familiar old Christmas Carols for lap harp or other harps. The lovely arrangements are can be mastered with practice by advanced beginners and are sight-readable for more advanced players. Either way, they are very effective as written or can be elaborated upon with improvisation. These ancient noels are particularly appropriate for Solstice and Twelth Night Celebrations. I was inspired to get this by my student because I loved the pieces she was working on. I will definitely take this book to play at all my holiday parties.
