The Nightingale

[faeryharper]

Thank you. She is a Border Wye 37 string.

[meizlovely]

It sounds gorgeous!! what kind of harp is that? how many strings?

[samturbeville]

Beautiful song, played with perfection and tender emotion!

[brownpencilcase]

You are such a gifted and wonderful musician. I love your videos. Thank you. Please keep posting. I am a beginner at harp. You are such an inspiration.

I played this at a concert in a group of other harps its truely amazing :D

[pj49721]

Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing this gift ~

[highlandlaura]

what music books can you recommend for Celtic tunes. The Nightingale is really beautiful.

[faeryharper]

Hello. I love Jo Morrison at the moment. I've having a Scottish frenzy with music books. Sylvia Woods is also a great resource for most styles.

[cashcool9]

Well done !

[mideerow]

this is really beautiful. what harp are you using?

[faeryharper]

Thank you. Gosh, this was taken a while ago. I'm using my Border Wye. A 37 string lever. I must try this on my new Salvi Ana. The sound will be entirely different.

Im learning to play this song right now on my harp

[treace5]

it's beautiful... :)

[xsilentxXxregretsx]

so beautiful! I remember wanting to play harp instead of piano but my parents wouldn't let me cuz I was too little...but this reconfirms that I definitely wish I could play harp! :-/

[eduardoharpista]

I like it... it doesn't need anything else!

[harpistkel]

Beautiful :) I love playing this song.

[grainnegrainne]

Omg! this is absolutely beautiful!

[annieliz1965]

Ah lovely. I shall look forward to hearing your version. I have to say, the CD that came in the Celtic Harp book didn't do the tunes any justice at all - I had to listen to you playing them again to remind me why I liked them so much! So I will be waiting with bated breath.

[annieliz1965]

Ah great. Sounds like the right one. Thanks for the tip - easy is good!! Still think it might take me a while to get it sounding as nice as you do. I've only been playing for 2 years but I'm getting on OK with the Kim Robertson version of Dark Woman of the Mountain so maybe there's hope for me!

[faeryharper]

If you like Dark Woman of the Mountain, try Bonny at Morn. It is equally moving. I am working on that one now.

[annieliz1965]

Hi there - it's me again! Can you please tell me which version this is as I noticed you said you were working on version 5! I've ordered a copy but I'm now wondering if it's going to be different. Oh no - hope not!

[faeryharper]

There are 7 versions in the sheet music. It's cool to mix and match. I love the intro of #5 that Dan (dlh) uses, and the main body of #2 (as it is easy!).

[annieliz1965]

Please can you tell me where you got the sheet music for this one - it's gorgeous, and I can't find it.

[TGCidphilosopher]

what is this? call me crazy if u pleesed xD but for some reason... i cant take the central feeling of thise song.. is something between happy and melancholy, what was the composer feeling when she first wrote it?.

[HAPPYHARPER68]

Love this. It is my goal to play this...one day!

[Galaadrielle]

You should sing too ! I love that tune :)

[violingirl12]

Hej! Very nice played. Could someone tell me who's the composer of the lovely piece. I've heard it so many times before but I can't seem to find the composer. Bye

[faeryharper]

It is a piece by Deborah Henson-Conant. I heard DLH975 play it...fell in love with it...and got the music.

[catlillith]

Beautiful!

[TinWhistler]

You're awesome!

[meganmurphy1212]

Have you gone on holiday? I am patiently waiting to hear more of your lovely tunes. When can your fans expect a new set?

[faeryharper]

How kind...I am trying to sort out the sync issue, but have not quite managed yet. I am fiddling about with a new version of Lord Willoughby, and All in a Garden Green, so hopefully I shall be back soon. (The Nintendo Wii doesn't help either. I am so easliy sidetracked)

[TheWhistleCollector]

very nice, how long have you been playing?

[faeryharper]

Thank you. I got my harp almost three years ago, so ever since then. I am just starting to find the music that suits us both, and that is proving to be most exciting.

[euphorbia74]

very nice , beautifull!

[faeryharper]

Thankyou very much.

[dlh975]

OK I happen to have the inside scoop that she just got the sheet music for this just a few days ago!! Very nice!

[faeryharper]

Thankyou. I only managed to get half of it on my camera, and I can't solve the sync problem, but I just had to share this one. I am off to work on version number 5 now. That is the one you did, isn't it? I love that one
