Woods Sylvia - Music from Disney-Pixar's Brave

For lever or pedal harp.

The Disney-Pixar animated movie Brave was filled with wonderful Scottish-flavored music that sounds great on the harp. Sylvia has arranged 6 of the pieces for harp. Some are playable by beginners, and others are a bit more challenging. Merida’s Home has 2 arrangements: easy and intermediate. The pieces are in the keys of 1 or 2 sharps, and 2 pieces have easy lever changes. Fingerings and chord symbols are included. The lyrics for Noble Maiden Fair are printed in Gaelic, as well as a phonetic version. Three pieces have English lyrics: Touch the Sky, Learn Me Right, and Into the Open Air. 26 pages of music.

Noble Maiden Fair - This song is played three times in this arrangement, and the music gets a little more advanced each time. The first two verses are playable by beginners, and the third is just a bit more advanced in the left hand. The music is in the key of B minor (F sharps and C sharps) with no lever changes required within the piece. The lyrics are printed in Gaelic, as well as a phonetic version which was used to help the actors with the pronunciation. There is no English translation. 4 pages.

Merida's Home - There are two arrangements included in this PDF: a 3-page easy harp version, and a 3-page version for intermediate harp players. They are both in the key of G (1 sharp). There are no lever changes within either version. This is an instrumental piece, so there are no lyrics. 6 pages.

The Games - Although this lively jig is in the key of D (2 sharps), all of the Cs are actually naturals throughout the piece. There are two easy F lever changes in the music. There are no lyrics. 3 pages.

Touch the Sky - This song is in the key of D (2 sharps), but all of the Cs are set to natural throughout the piece. There is one very easy F lever change. Lyrics included. 5 pages.

Learn Me Right - This lovely song, played at a "moderate folk waltz" tempo, is in the key of D (2 sharps) with no lever changes. Lyrics included. 4 pages.

Into the Open Air - Another "moderate folk waltz" in the key of D. This one is a bit more challenging because it moves between 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 and 4/4 time. There are no lever changes within the music. 4 pages.
