The Gartan Mother’s Lullaby “Sleep, O babe, for the red
bee hums the silent twilight's fall. A
beautiful old lullaby with lyrics by Joseph Campbell and a traditional melody
collected in Donegal by Herbert Hughes, arranged for lever harp and voice. It
is in the key of C; its one B-flat chord is played by flatting the lowest B
string on the harp before beginning to play. The sheet music is 4 pages,
printed on ivory paper, and includes words (3 verses), melody, chords, and
arrangement for the harp. Level: lower to middle intermediate. $3.00. Click here, then choose “The Gartan
Mother’s Lullaby,” to hear a sample of this music as sung by Colleen Harris
on her CD, Celtic Grace. The wordless vocals at the beginning (lovely!) were
added to this arrangement by the singer. The word which sounds like “evil,” by the way, is “Aoibheall,” the name of a fairy queen. All Through the Night "Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee, All through the night.” A
lovely Welsh lullaby, arranged for harp and voice. The sheet music includes
words, melody, chords, and arrangement for the harp. The arrangement is made
for lever harp – accidentals are avoided – but can be played on the pedal
harp as well. Four pages, printed in black on ivory paper, 8½” x 11”. Level:
easy to intermediate; in the key of G. $3.00.
Suo Gan "To my lullaby surrender, Warm and tender is my breast." A
traditional Welsh lullaby, in a beautiful arrangement for harp and voice. The
sheet music, in Welsh and English, includes three verses in each language,
melody, chord symbols, and arrangement for the harp. Like most harp music, it
can also be played on the piano. The music is 8½" x 11", 4 pages,
printed in black on ivory paper. Level: easy to intermediate; in the key of
C. $3.00. Lullaby from Voices of the Trees “‘Tis seldom they speak now to us who are grown, But they sing to you kindly, for you are their own.” From the Voices of the Trees songbook:
a gentle, haunting lullaby telling a child that the trees and night wind call
him to come and play. The sheet music is 4 pages, 8½” x 11”, printed on ivory
paper, and includes words, melody for voice, and arrangement for the harp.
The arrangement is simple but includes one lever change. Level: easy to
intermediate. $3.00. The lullabies above are included in our “Four Celtic Lullabies”
set, $9.00. We also have: The Castle of Dromore "The October winds lament around the Castle of Dromore, Yet peace is in its lofty halls, my loving treasure store. Though autumn leaves may droop and die, a bud of spring are
you. Sing hushabye lu la lu lo lan, Sing hushabye lu la lu." This
lullaby is one of the oldest extant Irish songs, lulling a child to sleep
with a prayer for safety against the wild weather and "Clan Eoin's wild
Banshee." The sheet music includes words (3 verses), melody, chords, and
arrangement for the lever harp. It is 4 pages, 8½" x 11”, printed in
black on ivory paper. Level: easy to intermediate. $3.00. |
