I love this!!

[paledeerwoman]

This is beautiful. I love the "special effects" you used.

[kathyrncater]

@paledeerwoman Thanks, that was all serendipity! 

[harprdh]

very beautiful and beautifully interpreted. What level would you describe this piece. I'm an advance beginner. Would love to play this someday

[kathyrncater]

@harprdh Almost all of my pieces sound much harder than they are. I use repetitive ideas (as well as actual repeats) to make them easy to learn and memorize. You could probably play a few songs from this book now. The most difficult part of learning this piece is probably deciphering how to phrase it musically. I am glad you enjoyed my interpretation, and I hope you will bring your own voice to this piece.

[RoJeanLoucks]

Beautiful music, and the background is lovely as well - kudos!

[kathyrncater]

@RoJeanLoucks Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it! I am eager for more summery days in my garden.

[harlyre]

absolutely beautiful! what model is this thormahlen harp, exactly?

[kathyrncater]

Thank you! It is a discontinued model, but is similar to the Serenade -- only with a straight column. 

[harlyre]

@kathyrncater awesome! my next harp is a serenade! they look beautiful!

[kathyrncater]

Congratulations! They build wonderful harps. I am sure you will love yours.

[harlyre]

This book just arrived along with your 4 other books. Love them! I'm learning this piece now and very happy with it. Hope you can post new ones from the other books.

I love the sound of your harp. I am planning on purchasing a Thormahlen swan. I'm planning on folk gut strings but haven't chosen a wood yet. What wood is the harp in this video? The sound is perfect.

This harp is walnut with nylon strings and a flat back. Someday I might re-string it with folk harp gut, but it came with nylon and I have been happy with it. I am glad you like the sound. Thormahlen builds wonderful harps.

[Phoenikless]

It´s wonderful, thank you
