Published by Afghan Press Music for the Harp (A0.797506). Everyone enjoys Celtic Folk Songs and Folk Hymns but not all realize that often they can be one and the same.

All but one of the tunes in this collection are of Celtic origin. The exception, "Amazing Grace," is a folk hymn of unknown origin that has all the markings of a Celtic Tune, including a pentatonic harmonic foundation.For the harpists who also like to understand the history of a tune or even sing along, a variety of texts along with information about the tune and the lyrics can be found in the back of this book in the "Notes on the Tunes."Titles: Ad Hyd y nos, Annie Laurie, Auld Lang Syne, Bunessan, Brother James' Air, Down By the Salley Gardens, Greensleeves, Iona Boat Song, Rorate (Rorate Coeli Desuper), Londonderry Air, New Britain, O Waly Waly, Slane, Scots W' Hae, The Ash Grove, Royal Oak, The Twenty-Ninth of May, St. Denio, Skye Boat Song, The Bard of Armagh, The Streets of Laredo, The Caledonian Hunt's Delight, St. Columba, The Road and the Miles to Dundee, The Rowan Tree, Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie DoonOne of the nicest things about this book is that each song has a short but lovely introduction!
