Fifty Irish Melodies for all Harps

“This book is a compilation of 50 wonderful Irish melodies.  Most are traditional tunes from Ireland, and many are very old.  There are songs of true love, and of love lost; lullabies and flights of fancy; patriotic anthems and chronicles of Irish history. Great for beginning and advanced harpists.

“I have also included a few “Irish-American” songs such as “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling”, “My Wild Irish Rose”, and “Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral”.  Even though they were composed in the states for an American audience, they have become a part of the Irish musical tradition…” S. Woods
