The collection features classical pieces by Mozart, Handel and Gluck; and a haunting and romantic selection of the French, Italian, Scottish and Irish traditional airs that were tremendously popular during the late 18th/early 19th century, including several with lyrics by Robert Burns, and two pieces reported to have been among Jane Austen's personal favorites.All of the pieces in the collection are arranged to fit on a small harp with just three octaves, but can also be played on larger harps or on any melody instrument. Each arrangement includes fingering, chord symbols, lyrics when available and historic notes.
