DANNY BOY is a beloved traditional Irish melody, also known as Londonderry Air. This expressive harp arrangement is now presented in two versions, making it accessible to a wider range of players.
The elementary version is written for small harps with bass C as the lowest pitch and includes clearly marked fingering and brackets to support confident learning. The early intermediate version is designed for larger harps, offering a richer texture while remaining comfortable and idiomatic for the hands. Both versions feature a naturally coordinated left hand and a lyrical right-hand melody, creating a beautiful and rewarding playing experience. Your sheet music download includes both versions.

I greatly enjoyed learning both versions and found the Early Intermediate easy to do and enjoy playing the 1 5 10 9 8 and 1 5 8 9 10 chords which suits this tune perfectly. I am grateful to add it to my repertoire and still playing it slowly is gratifying.
Hi Kathryn, thank you for sharing this. I’m so glad you enjoyed learning both versions and that the chord patterns feel natural and satisfying to play. It’s wonderful to hear the piece has found a place in your repertoire—enjoy every slow, expressive moment with it. - Anne
