Product Description
A lever harp arrangement of Merry Go Round of Life by Joe Hisaishi from Howls Moving Castle. It can be tricky to play on the harp but its definitely very beautiful! For this arrangement, I tried to preserve as many harmonies as possible. In the video, the tempo played at is around 70bpm (slower than the original) to give enough time for the many lever changes. But the tempo can of course be adjusted according to skill level.
Suitable for advanced intermediate level players on lever harps tuned in Eb major. Sheet music has lever change markings indicated. A guide to the harp octaves has been included in the PDF. I've not tested it on a pedal harp so I'm not sure if it is suitable.
Key: G minor
Lever/Pedal changes: Multiple
Range: C6 F1
