Summary: Irish harp music of O"Carolan beautifully arranged!
Review: 40 O'Carolan Tunes for All Harps by Sylvia Woods.

If you have Sylvia's Teach Yourself Book, or are planning to get it, then this book is a natural to follow. The arrangements of 40 of O'Carolan's more popular harp tunes are on two levels so that the book can be used by players of different proficiencies. I was fortunate to have had access to Sylvia's books early in my learning to play the harp and I still play many of the pieces in this book on a regular basis.. Although Turlough O'Carolan lived in another era (1670-1738) he wrote much of the music played by Irish musicians today. The favorites in this book will delight you!

Summary: An excellent book for harpers
Review: Sylvia Wood's book on 40 Carolan pieces is an excellent book for harpers of any skill level. The book gives easy and advanced versions for each piece. Fingering suggestions are also given. The melodies themselves are beautiful. Carolan pieces are subtle and tricky, but are worth every moment to master.
