Roharps Publications - Sheet Music
Publishing her arrangements of copyrighted music began in the fall of 2008, when RoJean introduced the first-ever Autumn Leaves for solo lever harp. Played on the piano, this had long been a personal favorite of hers, and she was determined to make it lever-harp friendly. It was eagerly accepted by other harpists, who encouraged RoJean to seek the rights for publishing more of solo arrangements.
Leading a small local harp ensemble, RoJean found it challenging to locate music for a range of harps and players' skills, so she began to arrange music for this group as well. Basic requirement was to accommodate a range from 26-string harps without levers through fully-levered floor harps. Thus, you will find that range represented in all of her ensemble work.
Sheet music in this catalog has been arranged for solo harp or harp ensemble; where indicated, the scores are also available through the ScoreExchange digital outlet
Although arranged for lever harp, this music is equally playable on pedal harp or piano.
