Medieval and Renaissance Music for Folk Harp

The 20 intermediate to advanced arrangements in this book invite the player on a musical-historical journey from the French trouveres to Tielman Susato. These arrangements use a variety of techniques including harmonics, pres de la table, left hand, some quick lever changes, and the full range of a 36-string harp.
