Beautiful Songs for the Harp
Ann Lobotzke literally wrote the book on beautiful music. Beautiful Songs for the Harp is a collection of popular and timeless arrangements for harp, available in both softcover and digital formats.
This versatile collection is playable on both lever and pedal harps, making it an essential addition for harpists of all skill levels. With over an hour of music, it provides a rich and satisfying repertoire for performance, study, or enjoyment.
Spanning nine decades of beloved pop songs, this compilation is destined to become a classic resource no harpist should be without.
Where do you find arrangements of pop standards that are sight-readable for the intermediate level, but don’t sound too elementary? … If you need some pop music evergreens, this book should be in your library.

Customer praise…
You have given each of the pieces a good chordal structure which can be enhanced at the level of the player, but sounds great just as written. This gives the player the chance to dig into their sound and phrasing rather than digging into the pedals and technical difficulties. On the inside, I love the generous size of the note printing …. no squeezing your eyes together and popping close to the music stand to see what the note is! In my opinion this book should be the go to of every harpist who plays engagements needing this genre of music.

“I love your arrangements. They’re accessible, but still interesting and musically satisfying. I’m enjoying playing through them, especially taking a trip down memory lane playing songs I grew up hearing on the radio! Well done!
—Joan W.
“I introduced my student to your book, since she should be learning some gig music. She was literally hugging the book… La La Land, Romeo and Juliet. Her favorite tunes.”
