The pieces in this book are organized by difficulty: the easiest pieces are near the beginning, and theharder pieces (especially those with lots of sharping lever changes) are near the back.

LEVER HARP TUNINGS: The final 2 pieces each have 2 arrangements, depending on how youtune your lever (non-pedal) harp. Most lever harps are tuned in one of two ways:

Key of C: The most common lever harp tuning is to tune the harp to the key of C, and then usethe sharping levers to play in sharp keys. If you tune your harp this way, use the “Evergreen”arrangement on page 62, and the “Sunrise, Sunset” arrangement on page 70. These will bothhave this icon of a lever harp with a C in the middle.

With 3 Flats: Another common lever harp tuning method is to tune all of the B strings to Bflat, the E strings to E flat, and the A strings to A flat. Then, when you use a sharping leveron any of these strings, the lever will raise the pitch to a natural. If you tune your harp withflats, use the “Evergreen” arrangement on page 66, and the “Sunrise, Sunset” arrangement onpage 74. These will both have this icon of a lever harp with a flat in the middle.

SHARPING LEVERS: If you playa lever harp, be sure to set yoursharping levers for the key signaturebefore you begin, following anyadditional instructions written atthe beginning of each piece. Allother sharping lever changes arewritten between the treble and bass staves. (The markings for pedal changes for pedal harps are writ-ten below the bass staff.) This chart shows the octaves indicated by the lever changes you’ll find inthis book. “Mid” indicates the octave from middle C up to B, and “High” indicates the next higheroctave, etc.

As you’ve probably noticed, glancing through this book, many of these pieces near the back havenumerous lever changes. Don’t let them frighten you. Although they can be quite daunting the firstfew times through, once you get used to them, they aren’t so bad. You might find it easier if you usea colored pen to highlight the initial lever setting and all of the lever changes in the music, so theywill be easier to see.

A FEW NOTES FOR PEDAL HARPISTS: Pedal harpists may play all of the the arrange-ments in this book. The last 2 pieces each have 2 arrangements. Choose whichever key youlike best. Pedal changes are written below the bass clef staff. Feel free to add more notes to thechords as well as adding arpeggios and glissandos wherever you feel they will be appropriate.

In some of the pieces, you’ll see “R.H.” written in the bass clef, indicating that the notes should beplayed with the right hand, instead of the left. Usually, this is for lever harp players who need touse their left hand to make a lever change, and therefore have to play all the notes with the right. Inmost cases, you can ignore these “R.H.” markings, and play the notes with the left hand as usual.

FINGERINGSFingering preferences are very personal. The fingerings I have provided will give you a guideline fromwhich to start. Feel free to change any of them if you’d like. It won’t hurt my feelings at all! Whenthe same note is played consecutively several times in a row (such as in the “Wedding Song”) I didnot include any fingerings. Use whatever fingering method works best for you (i.e. 123123 or321321 or 212121 or 111111 or 222222, etc.)

ALTERNATE NOTES FOR VERSESSometimes a note is needed for the lyrics in one verse, and not in another. Any notes that are notused in the first verse, but are used in the 2nd verse are printed as a small note in parentheses.

When I’m alone, I dream of the horizonAnd words fail me.There is no light in a room Where there is no sun.And there is no sun If you’re not here with me, with me.From every window, Unfurl my heart,The heart that you have won. Into me you’ve poured the light,The light that you’ve found By the side of the road.

Chorus: Time to say goodbye.Places that I’ve never seen Or experienced with you,Now I shall. I’ll sail with you Upon ships across the seas,Seas that exist no more. It’s time to say goodbye.

Verse 2: When you’re far away, I dream of the horizonAnd words fail me.And of course, I know that you're With me, with me.You, my moon, you are with me.My sun, you’re here with me, With me, with me, with me.

Chorus

Tag: I’ll go with you Upon ships across the seas,Seas that exist no more, I’ll revive them with you.I’ll go with you, I’ll go with you.

Charles E. King (1874-1950) was one of the foremost composers and publishers of Hawaiian music. Althoughonly a quarter Hawaiian, he was fluent in the Hawaiian language. His knowledge and appreciation ofHawaiian culture and history was reflected in his compositions. Queen Emma was his godmother and QueenLili’uokalani his music teacher. This song, a duet for baritone and soprano, was usually sung in Hawaiian as“Ke Kali Nei Au” until 1959 when Andy Williams recorded it as the “Hawaiian Wedding Song” for ColumbiaRecords. In Hawaii it is still sung in Hawaiian -- except when being sung for the tourists!
