Watermark by Enya

Hello! Can anyone please tell me if it’s possible to play Enya’s song- Watermark, on lever harp?

Hi Nancy,

The piece is in the key of F with an occasional Eb and Db thrown in but as long as you tune your B, E, and D string to their flats you should be fine. Start the piece with the Bb and the E and D natural
You’ll find that the opening section moves between the chords of F major and A minor then it moves through a Bb and Eb chord. At the end of the first section you’ll need the Db for a moment.. Start by picking out ONLY the melody:
A C F G F E C etc. and you’ll soon find your way through the chords.

All the best,
Mark

The sheet music for piano is readily available from many sources, and it works pretty well with very little editing.

This is a great piece. I’ve been playing it for years. It makes a beautiful contrast to traditional classical wedding music for the unity candle. You can play through it a complete time with no awkward staring between the bride and groom waiting for you to finish.
