Here are a few of my own tunes and arrangements of traditional tunes for clarsach. They can be downloaded as pdfs. Information on my published music books can be found at Marsharp Music.

SOME OF MY OWN TUNES
Andrew's Smiles A reel written for my nephew when he was 6 months, and we smiled a lot at each other in the mornings.

The 25th String A slow air written for my harp maker, Jack Yule, when he left Scotland to go and build a house in Colorado. A harp arrangement of this tune is in The Clarsach Collection Vol 2.

ARRANGED FOR GUT STRUNG HARPS
Lady Carmichael's Strathspey An easy version of this strathspey I taught at a Glasgow Branch workshop. A sample arrangement from my book The Clarsach Collection Volume 1 Elementary.

MacKinnon's Brook A more challenging strathspey, taught to the intermediate group of the Glasgow Branch. A sample arrangement from my book The Clarsach Collection Volume 2 Intermediate.

ARRANGED FOR WIRE STRUNG HARPS
Olaf's Reel Written for my beginners' class at the Edinburgh International Harp Festival in 2006, this reel uses both hands for the tune. The tune appears in my wire harp tutor, First Steps, An Introduction to Playing the Wire-Strung Clarsach.

Tha Fonn Gun Bhi Trom This tune is from the Patrick MacDonald Collection, arranged as a reel. I taught this on my Skye course in 2007 when it was a mixed group of wire and gut strung players.
