Celebrating 25 years of publishing harp arrangements!
Making it complicated is easy.
Keeping it simple is an art.*
Welcome to Simply the Harp, publisher of ~600 harp arrangements by Angi Bemiss.
Our goal is to PUT A COMPLETE REPERTOIRE INTO YOUR HANDS (pardon the pun!).
June 2025 - a brief update from Angi. I am now 6 years into retirement from my professional career (accountant/CFO and financial management consultant), and after 25 years Kevin and I have made the decision to end our harp conference activities and the publication of new arrangements in sheet music or book hard-copy format.
I will continue to upload PDFs on the two websites indicated below. And, we are delighted that our harp-store-vendors continue to carry our products - both paper and PDFs. For now, then, this website will remain mostly unchanged.
Thank you for your understanding and for many years of supporting our publishing endeavors. Our ministry has been "right time, right place," and we are thankful for so many blessings and lifelong friendships.
We are excited to announce that PDFs of copyrighted pieces are now available for instant download on two websites:
- SheetMusicDirect: https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/search.aspx?query=angi+bemiss&sort=6
- SheetMusicPlus: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/search?Ntt=angi+bemiss
Also, PDFs of public-domain pieces are available at our retail vendors.
We had several new publications in 2021 and 2022:
Music The Seal Lullaby - by Eric Whitacre; a beautiful lullaby
Music Sleepsong - music by Rolf Lovland (of Secret Garden), lyrics by Brendan Graham (both wrote "You Raise Me Up")
Music Secret Garden Collection - because "Secret Garden Favorites #1" (sheet music) was so popular, we have released a new book with 15 lovely arrangements by Rolf Lovland (who wrote the music for "You Raise Me Up"). This single book includes all arrangements in both the keys of C and Eb. (Note: SGF#1 is still available, and those 3 pieces are included in this book.)
Music Hymn Favorites #3 - Fairest Lord Jesus and In The Father's Love Begotten (Divinum Mysterium)
Music Now available as sheet music:
- Clair de Lune Excerpts
- Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
- Jupiter (from The Planets)
