Double the Carols: Festive Christmas Music for Double-Strung Harp
This listing is for the print edition of Double the Carols and includes access to companion audio resources. Digital PDFs are sold separately on CindyShelhart.com.
Celebrate the season with sacred Christmas favorites from Canada, England, France, Germany, and the United States. Designed especially for the double-strung harp, these arrangements highlight the instrument’s versatility and festive sound—perfect for church services, holiday gigs, or home enjoyment.
These arrangements are written at the intermediate level: ideal for players who have completed the Make Mine a Double method and are ready for independent hand parts, while still engaging and rewarding for seasoned double-strung harpists.
With this book, you’ll get:
- Flexible arrangements playable as written on a medium-sized (26 × 2 strings) double harp—or adaptable for smaller or larger instruments.
- Recommended setup: a fully levered double-strung harp, tuned to E-flat major. Four arrangements are in flat keys, and four include internal lever changes.
- Performance notes and technique tips to help you sound polished and professional.
- Online MIDI audio recordings to support learning by ear.
