50 Christmas Carols for All Harps: Each Arranged for Beginning and Advanced Harpers (Sylvia Woods Multi-Level Harp Book Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice collection of Christmas carols, both well-known and some you may not have heard.Its main selling point is that there are arrangements for both beginners and advanced players.It's also in a spiral-bound book, which is a plus for those of us who hate struggling with bindings to keep a book open while playing.

The arrangements are mostly OK, with some noticeable exceptions.The book contains only a couple of accidentals, but the author avoids them in other situations by doing some rather strange arrangements, most noted by me in 'O Holy Night'.Instead of having an F sharp, she repeats a G, which just sounds bizarre to me.Some of the beginner versions are over-simplified, to the detriment of the piece overall.

Chord symbols are included with each piece if you'd like to create your own harmony or play with another instrument.

The book includes fingering notation but my instructor and I both agreed that the fingering was awful.It's the worst part of the book, but easily ignored and modified.

Lyrics are included, but note that for some songs they are lumped together as 'miscellaneous lyrics' where they weren't fit onto the same pages as the music.
