Songs include Blind Mary, Childgrove (1 lever change), Far From Home, French An Dro, Grandfather's Clock, Planxty George Brabazon, Swedish Music Box, Kitty McGee, Morgan Magan, O'Carolan's Draught, The Parting Glass, The Ashgrove, Waltzing Matilda, and Simple Gifts.
Waltzing Matilda Audio MP3 The book is $14. Now available with an audio CDaccompaniment ($6). Here's what people wrote me about this book: My top three favorites from “Where the Fingers Fall”
are Childgrove, French An Dro, and The Ashgrove (which, as far as I’m
concerned, is the best arrangement of this traditional tune that I have
come across so far). When I was young, I had some sort of toy, I can’t even remember
what it was, that played the tune of Grandfather Clock. I had forgotten
all about it, but as soon as I started playing it from your book, the
tune came back to me as if I had just heard it yesterday. Thank you
for that bit of nostalgia. Where the Fingers Fall is one of my favorite
books of harp music and is one that I will automatically grab when
I just want to play beautiful, relaxing music. I started playing lever
harp when I was twelve years old and have been playing and performing
for almost four years. I have played for weddings, anniversary parties,
funerals, luncheons for PEO Women's Sorority, and the Temecula Valley Women's Club Holiday Home
Tour...and almost everywhere I play I play songs from your book. If you'd like to be added to this list, just email me with your comments at: harps@thorharp.com
