ciferencesymphony

thanx CIFERENCE-SYMPHONY

[JunzaGal]

nice :D. Do you have the sheet music? or if this is your own variation, your own written sheet music?

[freshcool1]

@JunzaGal : yeah I played it by ear and do not have or use music sheet as reference.

[Drumhyper1]

I really enjoyed that. Nice job, very relaxing.

[roffyp]

Great playing. I really likes the sound of the harp. You have a very nice touch and feeling. Check my version of the song on: Fields of Gold by RGP (Instrumental)

[noerlund75]

omg mate.. This is awesome

[PinkishUrchin]

This is absolutely beautiful! I really hope to start learning harp someday, if I can fin a teacher near me! How long did it take you to play this well?:)

[freshcool1]

@PinkishUrchin: hmmm I came from a classical piano background so maybe that helped me read the music sheet a bit. That being said, I recorded this one year after I started playing harp. I think I am still playing a student level kinda performance, yet but I thanks for the vote of confidence! :)

[steadyhandsunny]

You are so cool!

[Dianesaurr]

i loveeee this! i wish i have a harp!

[levedara]

Sheesh I watched all of your videos and I'm in awe. I play the flute but now I'm thinking of trying to get harp lessons! Beautifully well played. You're my favorite out of all of the different harp players I've listened to on youtube.

[xoxoDayDreamingxoxo]

@levedara Oh, if you're thinking of getting into harp - that's one of the best things you can ever do! I started playing 9 months ago and it's so wonderful! Best of luck to you!

[EmeraldKnight1209]

Absolutely beautiful rendition. Your harp has such a great sound and you are a very fabulous player! Keep up the good vids! :)

[NmHman127Nugget]

is that sting because thats terrible

[DannyGrease]

@NmHman127Nugget its a interpretation on a different instrument, so its a version of its own..go get yourself a life or dont listen to music

[paolitas7]

I am speachless, this performance is a treasure 5*******

[Gram5boys]

My favorite video. I would so love this arrangement if you ever publish it. I have the same harp and am a new student. Your technique is just beautiful too.

[MrCharleesatch]

You are the first harp guy I see on youtube that doesn't struggle with harp notes technique and center on the main thing: FEELING

Music was made to show and inspire feelings in others. Superb work.

Im guitar player but I would like to learn harp. Your harp has the sound I always wondereded: soft with body and no metalic tones. Could you tell me what type is?

Thank you!

[freshcool1]

@MrCharleesatch thank you for the kind and encouraging words! they mean a lot to a beginner like me :) my harp is made by Blevins Harps in Colorado. I would encourage you to try playing harp, too. I am sure your musical talent and expertise from guitar playing will transfer over.

- D

[aansar]

Excellent rendition of this song... very tasteful and elegant indeed!

[Blueberryrose57]

Wow! You are in tune with the harp! It just flows from you! It is like it has become part of you! It is heavenly! Thanks for sharing!

[anic18]

This is absolutely beautiful!! I love this song too! How many strings is your harp??

[freshcool1]

@anic18 thank you for the kind words, this is a 36 strings harp :)

[megan2801]

you have a real talent, thats a really beautiful song.

[TheClaymoreKid]

BEAUTIFUL, I hope I'll be able to play as well as you someday!!!! :D

[lswise2451]

Great job on a wonderful song!

[simplegirl261]

wow absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[michiel2202]

Is playing the harp really as hard as they say?

Loved it!

[TheClaymoreKid]

@michiel2202 If its something you really want, and are willing to work for, its comes as difficult but not impossible. :)

[freshcool1]

@michiel2202 well it's not easy but worth every effort :)

[hanniebananie27]

@michiel2202 I play and, yes you'll get aggravated at times but you once you finished a difficult song it's all worth it.

[CLZJamie]

1 dislike says enough. and its clearly someones who just dislikes every video out there

[chordstring36]

This is my favorite from among your list. I was wondering if you would play Bella's lullabye (River Flows in You) I haven't found a good version on harp. I think you would do a wonderful cover. Please??? Thanks!

[freshcool1]

@chordstring36: I haven't heard of Bella's Lullabye but thanks for the recommendation. I'll look it up and see if I can do a cover.

[lizlops007]

@chordstring36 Oooo, that's a great idea, I hope you wont mind if I have a go at that one too.

I agree with you though, he would do it very nicely.

[chordstring36]

@lizlops007

By all means! Am excited to hear your version as well. I have not found a good on harp yet so I requested freshcool seeing how well he did Fields of Gold :-)

[skyestar97]

@chordstring36 that is a lovely song its by yeurma ;)

[LisaRose50]

awww, this was so tender and beautifully played! i love it!

[enayes3]

makes me want to buy a harp lol amazing job

[gordonmatthewsumner]

I am just wondering who was that stupid **** who disliked this song?

excellent performance thanks fpr posting it

[freshcool1]

@gordonmatthewsumner: Thanks!! you made my day

[DartsRme312]

beautiful and soothing my friend...cheerio!

[possumdaddy184]

nicely done

[hornetpalooza]

Just adding more on top of previous comments. Even tho Im not a big fan of this song, it does sound good when you do it. Keep at it and there's no limit to what you can create.

[odarochka]

I'm reposting this for my students and harp friends on my Facebook page. Its a lovely rendition of a beautiful song. I sing it with the harp myself, but it is a beautiful instrumental.

If you have any objection to my reposting this please let me know.

Odarka

[gkseeton]

My husband is again delighted, his only comment was it would be better played a bit slower with a tad more emphasis on, oh dear, I think he said syncopation but I'm not sure. Anyway, this is beautiful and I second the person who recommended you make a CD!

[chordstring36]

Wow...i just keep listening to this. I just close my eyes and imagine walking in fields of gold. You have done a wonderful version. Keep making wonderful music

[limegreen9717]

Wow! You are seriously talented, and this was beautiful cover! :)

[freshcool1]

Thank you all for the kind words. I played this by ear so I'm sorry that I don't have a music sheet.

[DartsRme312]

@freshcool1 a lost art my friend.....this is really excellent..great post!

[simplegirl261]

@freshcool1 The one person who disliked this is jealous they cant play as well! I personally loved it, its beautiful beyond words!

[kylja88]

i like your play very much! :-)

i'm playing the harp too, and i love this song!

where did you get the sheet of music for harp from? i would love to have it :)

[HappyinDenim]

all your vids are amazing and i'm glad i stumbled across them here. Thanks for sharing!

[Tubetopbabe]

Do you have sheet music?

A bride requested this, and I'd never heard it before.. Can you help me?

[lauradreamerprincess]

Lord bless you !May you honor Him by your talent!Be passioned on what you are doing ,practice and you will see miracles.

[slizerama]

This is soooo beautiful! After hearing this, I decided this is what I wanted to walk down to on my wedding day.

[slizerama]

This is soooo beautiful! After hearing this, I decided this is what I wanted to walk down to on my wedding day.

Your harp is beautiful, and so is your talent.

[Erolin2]

[rhondasmy08]

Just beautiful--love it:)

[Finlandsaga]

what kind of harp did you use playing?.. thank you!! beautiful music... touching the heart.. wanna learn this

[CarryOnBaz]

Beautiful, wish I could play like that!

[Allyndurae]

have heard several versions of this on the Harp and I absolutely love yours. Is there any way to get this on a CD? I am getting married and want this instead of the traditional Pachabel Canon for the Bride's entrance. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[tulipboyd]

@Allyndurae This is my favorite version as well. I would love for it to be at my wedding too! =D It's so beautiful.

[darce80]

Beautiful!

[elerinna12]

j'adore cette chanson et ce que tu en as fait c'est vraiment très beau!

[harpandpianomusic]

Where can I get the music for this?

[shepherdboy139]

I played this piece by ear, not using any music scores.. there might be some scores out there, though.

[enayes3]

great job, I just heard this played by a professional harpist at my college, its an awesome song

[jzydek]

Nice playing....you are very musical.

[andrewwalterturner]

wow like others i am amazed at this beautiful version of this song! I play harp (not well though) in New Zealand. I'm playing at my first wedding and when the bride heard your version she said there's no other song she'd rather have. You have a wonderful gift. You should consider making a CD!!

[freshcool1]

thanks a lot for your kind words - they are very encouraging... :)

[skullhyde]

awesome dude

[evewrites3]

Lovely playing.

[laineylou100]

This is beautiful. I am having this version (on the harp of course) played as I walk down the aisle

[d4g77]

Can I ask what brand of harp this is? How many strings? It sounds wonderful!

[freshcool1]

thank you for your kind words! it's a Blevins Espre 36 strings

[TumMePerR]

Oh it's sooo beautiful!!! ^^

[WingedxIllustrator]

I play the clarsach. (Gaidhlig traditional version of the harp) and I was wondering what key it's in and if you could mayeb do a tutorial cuz that would help alot. Thanks anyway, and it's beautiful x

[freshcool1]

omg, the clarsach is wonderful! in general I love Irish folk tunes, they have special place in my heart. I actually forget which key I played this song in!! I think it's E minor/G major. Ha ha ha I'm a beginner student so I don't think I'm qualified to give tutorial as of yet... thanks for the vote of confidence, though :) you have a good day!

[WingedxIllustrator]

you wouldn't guess your a beginner! I started two years ago (but I live on an island in Scotland and get a lesson about once every six months, so have to learn things mostly myself) but that really was lovely! I need to learn this song as well because I'm playing at a cafe on the island every saturday, and at two weddings in the next year! Arrrrgh! Its scary! xxx

[freshcool1]

aw, thank you! you're too generous with your kind words. You started two years ago and now playing at a cafe on the island every Saturday and two weddings next year? sounds like you are an awesome player yourself! so cool - by the way, your description of a cafe on a Scottish island sounds out of this world - wow, wonder if I can google it to see the pics, what's the location?

[juglis]

It's in Fmajor.

Hope I helped you

[freshcool1]

ha ha ha ha ha, thank you juglis! :)

[macquariepark]

great playing!...I am just starting to learn the lever harp....I wish there were more videos showing close ups of the players hands...thx

[piperrox13]

Thankies for this! Is so beautiful! ^^

[jsofmo]

So beautiful! Thank you for posting this - it is such a blessing!

[Layna8]

that was splendid...keep up the good work...and add a teaspoon of feeling and emotion to the strings and it will be perfect.

[yhto77]

great piece!!!! where can I find this version?

[freshcool1]

thank you - I actually played it by ear, so I guess it's my own arrangement.

[yaminoryu]

wow you really are talented. I'm jealous.

[blazinbec]

watching u pluck those strings somehow looks painful yet calming

[bambie3384]

Amazeing, absolutely breath taking. Well done sir.

[Maatdrummer1]

Beautiful. What people create musically never ceases to amaze me. Well done.

[claire632]

You're very talented! Don't stop!

[2Cloud5]

Its so beautiful, it makes me want to cry.

[bambie3384]

Too late....i already did..lol

[Jitenon]

I love listening to this over and over again. You're awesome.

[gentlegirl94]

You're really good. I play the lever harp too, but not as good as you. Keep it up, because you're really talented. Wow, it sounds so beautiful.

[AlohaCymber]

This is just lovely. I play harp, too, and I have thought that Sting's "Fragile" would sound nice. Have you tried that yet? Keep up the great music!

[harfe4you]

I will try this tomorrow :-)

Thanks for this amazing video.

Germany is watching you *gg*

[XxFaelinexX]

i am interesting in learning harp..that was amazing. I first saw you, and with your muscly arms, no offense, you seemed all brutish, or soemthing..but then you played so delicatley, how beautifull.

[freshcool1]

ha ha ha ha, thank you! :)

[XxFaelinexX]

you are very welcome, sorry if I sounded strange ^^

[freshcool1]

thank you, everybody - that's so generous of you :)

[b0dhran]

Did I tell you that not only do I like your playing, I like your harp and your hat ! - Hank

[lilrayosun]

woooooooooooooooow you make the harp sound so delicate and beautiful, like it is supposed too, unlike other videos i have seen where the harpist looks sad. Never have i seen it played so nicely before, well done.

[m4zda]

Beautiful.....Well done :0j

[secoriordan]

This song, one of my favourite songs ever, sounds simply beautiful on your harp, beautiful.

[Whiterin]

[Hirally]

This is LOVELY! Thank you! You have a lovely harp by the way, and play so well for only playing for two years!

May I ask what harp that is? I own a lyon and healy troubadour, but harp has lovely tonality. :] Of course, the harp only does so much. It has to have a good player, too, and you're definitely that!

[VybeZ93]

i love the sound of this instrument your very good, is it hard to learn

[freshcool1]

thank you all :)

yeah, on the difficulty scale, I'd say harp is in the middle.

[goldfish09]

wow that almost made me cry. so touching.

[manudude6]

Awesome!

[micckkyyyy]

just beautiful! how long have you been playing?

[freshcool1]

thank you for the kind words - I am a beginner, started in early 2007.

[ratherXbXriding]

HELLO! .... i just thought i would stop by and give a HUGE thankyou! im one of the teachers students. and this ballet dance is going to be phenomenal! when she told us the story of where this song came from i rushed right to the computer to thank you! you are a beautiful musician! and this version just gives me goosebumps listening to it.

[freshcool1]

You're very welcome! I appreciate your and your teacher's kind words. I wish you guys would tape the performance and post it here - I'm sure you all are awesome dancers!

[dan020350]

makes me want to own a harp

[b0dhran]

Way Cool ! I am going to learn your nice arrangement by watching your YouTube video. I love your hat, too !

I am liking your Chinese melodies, too.

That is a beautiful, sturdy Irish lowhead harp and it has a beautiful tone.

So maybe you will compose a tune to Soo Woo Koong

(the mischevious monley) and post for me to learn ! - Hank

[freshcool1]

Thank you for your kind words - I saw your videos and enjoy your music as well! ha ha ha ha, let's see if I could come up with something that musically describes Soo Woo Koong - when I do, I'll send you the score :)

- Dave

[ladansedevie]

I love it! I was wondering if you have an audio recording that I could purchase from you?

[freshcool1]

Thank you! I'm so flattered by your proposal. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that legally, though.

Where do you live? probably you could hire me, then LOL :)

[ladansedevie]

I live in CT. I am a dance teacher and would love to choreograph to your version of this song.  Maybe you could e-mail me an audio recording?

[freshcool1]

Wow, that's very cool that you're a dance teacher. I like ballet and often to go local performances here. Currently I do not have the audio version of this recording but I'll see what I can do. Send me a private message on this site and include your email address.

[EandEproductionss]

Beautiful! Could you tell me what arrangement/sheet music you used? Thanks!

[freshcool1]

Hi, thank you for watching and the kind words. I play by ear so this is my own arrangement based on what I remember. Thanks also to everybody for your kind words.. I appreciate it.
