Simple Comforts

Twenty creative arrangements for lever harp by Janie Taylor. A collection of music that could be called macaroni & cheese for the harp. Like the best comfort food, this music is uncomplicated yet richly satisfying. Captivating arrangements of many familiar tunes, perfect for lower-intermediate harpists, excellent for music at the bedside. A skilled arranger, Janie has a passion for writing thoughtful renditions that make the most of a beautiful melody within an imaginative framework of less-is-more. Harpists with a moderate skill level will be able to sight-read many of the selections. Keys of C, G & F. Also available as a pdf download.

“This is a wonderful book of arrangements for therapeutic bedside playing, and the pieces are equally appropriate for performance. Janie has worked her magic to give us simple enough to be therapeutic yet sophisticated enough to be satisfying. Never trite, these pieces are lovely with interesting harmonies.....No doubt it will become a staple for all harp therapists and practitioners”. - Laurie Riley, therapeutic musician
