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.

This collection of 35 Celtic tunes represents ten different performance styles from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. the majority of these pieces are dance tunes such as the jigs and reels popular at Irish sessions, the informal gatherings of musicians in pubs, community halls, and homes. Although relatively new to the session ensemble, the autoharp bears a distinct resemblance to the Irish folk harp. Fittingly, this collection includes harp tunes by famed Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan as well as other slow airs. All of the pieces in this book have been arranged to be played on any standard 15 or 21-bar chromatic autoharp in either melodic or rhythmic (backup) style. A melody line with suggested chord accompaniment is included so other instrumentalists can easily join in. the book's companion CD includes performances of all 35 selections, ably illustrating the rhythmic and stylistic nuances of this engaging music. In notation and tablature.
