Castle an a Cloud (from Les Misérables)

Castle on a Cloud is sung by the child Cosette in Les Misérables. It is a hopeful song of her imaginary world where life is beautiful, and she is not subjected to the drudgery of her hard existence.

Sylvia Woods has arranged thislilting song for lever or pedal harp. There are 7 lever changes in the piece, so it is for lower intermediate to intermediate level players. Fingerings and lyrics are included, as well as lever and pedal changes.

Two, 2-pageversions are included: one for lever harps tuned to C, and the other for lever harps tuned to flats. Pedal harpists can play either version. The arrangement for lever harps tuned to C is in the key of D (2 sharps), with A and Clever changes needed. The arrangement for lever harps tuned to flats is in the key of C, with B and G lever changes needed.

Either version may be played on most small harps with about 26 strings if you play everything an octavehigher than written. There are special instructions in the introduction telling you what you'll need to change if you have a small harp.
