Arranged for harp and voice (or C instrument). The sheet music includes parts for treble clef and bass clef instruments as well as the chords, so you can play with friends! The original Gaelic lyrics to Christ Child's Lullaby are thought to have been written in the mid 1800s by Ranald Rankin. The english lyrics were written by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser at the beginning of the 20th Century. The song is sung at Midnight Mass in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

The Angel Gabriel (also known as Gabriel's Message) is a traditional Basque Christmas carol titled "Birjina gaztetto bat zegoen".

I Gave My Love A Cherry (also known as The Riddle Song) is an English folksong which dates back to the 15th century. When I was arranging it Brahms' Wiegenlied kept popping into my head, so I decided to make the two lullabies into a medley. This arrangement comes with a C instrument part in both treble clef and bass clef versions.

The simple accompaniment to this song is meant to mimic the rise and fall of ocean waves. It's in the key of E minor with no lever changes. In case you don't sing (or have a singer to play with) I have included treble clef and bass clef parts, so that you can play it with a violinist, flautist, cellist etc. If your friend happens to play a non-C instrument, email me, and I will send you a transposed version. The story I have heard about Fear A’ Bhata (The Boatman) is that it was written in the 18th century by Sìne NicFhionnlaigh from Tong, Isle of Lewis for Donald MacRae of Uig, Isle of Lewis. Sìne and Donald married shortly after she wrote the song. I have included the phonetic pronunciation of the Gaelic chorus. Watch: https://youtu.be/UsRIhnIYzNU

From the 14th century, probably from Scotland in Middle English. A narrator sets the scene of a mother rocking her child. The carol is a tender dialogue between the child and his mother who we eventually learn are none other than Mary and the infant Jesus. Harp part is fairly simple, but players should be able to play a two hand bisbigliando and right hand harmonics. Includes pronunciation and translation notes. Need a lower key for your voice?
