Paul Lewis
CHRISTMAS SONGS for Lever Harp
Goodmusic GM229
Level of Difficulty
Attributing a particular level of difficulty to an orchestral piece is awkward!
A piece may be easy for the strings but difficult for the brass; it may feature a tricky instrumental solo but the other parts may be relatively straight forward. A number of the arrangements listed are designed to simplify works to some extent but composers of many original works featured did not consider difficulty when writing them.
What our levels mean:
A = for players up to UK Grade 3
B = Grade 3 to 5
C = Grade 4 to 6
D = Grade 5 to 7
E = Grade 6 to 8
F = Grade 7 and over
Our gradings should be taken only as a rough guide.
To be sure if a piece is suitable for you, take a look at the score.
Five of Paul Lewis's favourite Christmas carols arranged as miniature tone poems for intermediate players, some with tongue-in-cheek scenarios of his own invention, and an easier medley of a further seven carols for seasonal background music, plus a new piece, Fireside Carol, written by Paul for his wife Sharon who was inspired to take up the lever harp when a friend brought hers to a Christmas party.
