Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon And Garfunkel Harp - Digital Sheet Music

Difficulty Level and Skills Required

Early-intermediate for Harp. If you listen carefully to the lyrics in the original recording by Simon & Garfunkel, this song pulls on your heart strings as it refers to self-sacrificial love when you need it the most. This is a song that we as harp players can play for others to bring them peace and to show them love through music. Christy-Lyn’s arrangement brings in some of the interesting chords that make this song unique, while limiting the lever changes to only the most necessary ones. The melody and left hand accompaniment are quite simple but still bring across the emotions of the song. Difficulty Level and Skills Required: Early-intermediate: The fingering and notes are quite simple to play, but the rhythm is a step up from the beginner level. There are a few well-planned lever changes, a few rolled chords and the right hand plays 3rds in much of the piece. Type of Harp: Big and small lever harps. The piece could also be played on pedal harp, but there are no pedal markings in the sheet music. Range: Lowest note is D below middle C, highest note is F two and a half octaves above middle C. Levers/Pedals: It is in the key of D major (F and C sharps), with C lever changes. What's Included: PDF download of 3 pages. Fingering and bracketing are included.
