Double the O’Carolan Tunes: Classic Irish Melodies for Double-Strung Harp
This listing is for the print edition of Double the O’Carolan Tunes and includes access to companion audio resources. Digital PDFs are sold separately on CindyShelhart.com.
Bring the timeless music of Ireland’s most famous harper and composer, Turlough O’Carolan (1670–1738), to life on the double-strung harp. Whether you’re a newer double-strung player or a seasoned pro, these custom arrangements highlight the instrument’s unique resonance and make it easier for you to play with confidence.
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.
- Performance notes and technique tips to polish your playing.
- Online MIDI audio recordings to support learning by ear.
As the second book in the Double Dozen Series, Double the O’Carolan Tunes is a must-have for harpists who love traditional Irish music.
