Each of these three pieces of sheet music includes settings of two Psalms in lead sheet form. Four of the Psalms were adapted by Michael Halm of Presentation Ministries; the other two, by Shirley Starke. Each piece contains a Psalm of sorrow and supplication followed by a Psalm of joy, and the music is especially appropriate for Easter.

Psalm 42 and Psalm 30, adapted by Shirley Starke
Psalm 59 and Psalm 18, adapted by Michael Halm
Psalm 54 and Psalm 30, adapted by Michael Halm

(The two settings of Psalm 30 are very different from each other.)

Down by the Salley Gardens, set by Yeats himself to the traditional melody "The Maids of Mourne Shore."
Into the Twilight, set by Shirley Starke to music in the Aeolian mode (minor scale).
The Pity of Love, set by Shirley Starke to a melody in the Mixolydian mode (the 7th note of the scale is dropped a half step) which has the feel of traditional Irish music.

Each of the three pieces is 4 pages, 8½” x 11". The music is printed in black on ivory paper and includes words, melody, chord symbols, and arrangement for the harp. It was written for the lever harp but may be played on the pedal harp as well. Level: easy to intermediate.
