The classic spiritual "Were You There" has been artfully arranged for lever or pedal harp and optional cello. While retaining the traditional melody, this version makes use of creative harmonies, and the optional cello part adds an evocative element. In the key of D, with no accidentals, this arrangement could also be used to accompany a vocalist, with some minor adaptations. Easy intermediate level.

I've really enjoyed working on this piece. I'm working on it as well as Upon the Willows and think they go together beautifully. I looked on YouTube hoping I could find a video of someone playing Mr. Barnwell's arrangement but didn't find it. I've not been playing long and it can be helpful to hear the song played as it is intended to be. Even so, I am enjoying learning the piece.
