[Decayed03]

Gah...she is amazing. Srsly it's so beautiful. I have never seen that music instrument anywhere except fairy tales. lol

[jeremiahfodgother]

Anyhow I'm bookmarkin it and sendin the url to my wife.

[jeremiahfodgother]

Pretty good. Could be a softer touch. Too much "room" in the production, or somehow more clarity is needed in the equipment or setup.

[wendygillissen]

Wonderful, beautifully interpreted. I especially like the Earl of Dunmore - does anyone know where to get the sheet music for it???

[owwnvm]

damn.. beautiful

[nulife799]

you are soo good ! I am an adult beginner and I need to buy a harp. What do you recommend?

[54spiritedwill54]

WOW, harp is hard

[54spiritedwill54]

That was beautiful.

[4nt1c1t1zen0ne]

[moojeni]

OMG, she's so good!!!!

[opioide]

Very nice.

[bolthole]

i like it

[heycarter]

What a wonderful moment in time captured for everyone to enjoy over and over. A fantastic arrangement played a masterful harpist. I've heard Jerry Holland playing "Iggy and Squiggy" played on the fiddle, and I must say that this adaptation for the harp really gives it a voice and style unique to Brown...she really brings it to life and makes it her own. Very well done.

[woodspriteharper]

WOW I am a Hip hop producer in the music industrty. I couldn't be further removed from this kind of music. BUT I heard some harps the other day, and decided to look it up on youtube. I am glad I did because this was a very beautiful and inspiring piece of music.

[MeowMixCunt]

you should consider incorporating harp into hip hop. i think it's an awfully good idea :)

[clyde1878]

[katmears]

Best thing I've ever heard on a harp!! :D

[barmenmehmet]

amazing sounds :) thank you for leting us listen this beautiful music .

[NejmaB]

I hope so much You play another part on a video here, even if not for a commercial like for Morley harps...

[morleyharps]

Cheyenne kindly played this for us after having run harp workshop day for local harpists. It was a spontaneous performance - when we uploaded it, it was one of the first youtube lever harp videos - hopefully it has inspired others to play - and upload their own playing.

[Kampfkraut]

Impressiv.

[lyingontheroses]

you are amazing!!

[low56got7]

I know that Dunmore tune on the pipes, nicely played.

[BarNuun]

Completely beautiful Celtica. Love the way these pieces are blended together, so subtle; the first begins abstract and then at 0:55 made a sweeter melody. Jerry Holland's Cape Breton piece comes in at 1:40(?), 'Iggy & Squiggy', and the last, 'Arthur's Seat' at 2:44 ?.

[DJDrDerek]

I really like. ^_^

[symsyn]

very nice playing and a nice Harp (Babylonian Guitar).

[theanvilcracks]

I totally lap that up... Fuck me I'd love to be that good..

[dsc181180]

[NejmaB]

it would be so wonderful to ear you play again, another part. I am french, and me, my mother and my sister are often listening to your videos !

Watching your graceful hands is also hypnotizing

(sorry for all the mistakes)

[enigma067]

Excellent. Edward Van Halen, eat your heart out!

[Amadan212]

It's one of the best harp playing I ever heard!

[FairyHarper]

[WattDouglas]

I'll just add to the chorus, very well played and would be well worth hearing in person.

[gituga]

sem duvida apaixonante...

[PatriarchK]

So beautiful :)

[BenjaminBS]

I hope you will appear at some point in Israel, so that we can see you in concert! Best of Luck!!!

[CheyenneHarp]

Hi pies2k7 and PearlGirlClary, clarsach is indeed how to spell it, and it is what many people in Scotland call a harp with levers or blades and gut or nylon strings. It is the Gaelic word for harp. But in a historical sense, the term clarsach referred to a smaller harp with metal strings and no levers or blades. These wire-strung harps are still played today and are the true owners of the title clarsach. So you can call it what you like because everyone uses different names! :-)

[PearlGirlClary]

clarsach is how its spelt. but i dont know whether or not this is it

[pies2k7]

for the recorerd it called a clarsich

[Gae41]

Beautiful!

[diatfolk]

C'est vraiment beau !

[NejmaB]

Magnifique

[CheyenneHarp]

The 2nd tune, a reel called "Iggie and Squiggie", is by Jerry Holland, a Cape Breton fiddle player. It is found in his book, "Jerry Holland, the Second Collection", published by Cranford Publications. The last tune in this set is a traditional tune called 'Aurthur's Seat'. I got this tune from a great collection, the "Athole Collection", originally published in 1884 and containing 870 tunes. It has been reprinted by Balnain House, home of the Highland Music Trust.

[togdochroise]

Cheyenne, wonderful harping. Absolutely beautiful!

I was wondering--do you still teach or do workshops? And where might a schedule for that be available?

[CheyenneHarp]

Hello JuJuHound and gloworm7 and everyone,

Thanks for your comments and questions about the pieces! It's great to hear from you. Sorry I didn't write back sooner, I've only just made a youtube account...

So the first tune in this set is a jig, the 'Earl of Dunmore'. I found the music to this tune in one of the fantastic Taigh na Teud books - "The Fiddle Music of the Scottish Highlands, Ceol na Fidhle, Volumes 1 and 2".

[JuJuHound]

I second that request for some sort of sheet music or another name for the song or something. I really love that tune.

[Ballyvourney]

Hello!

Very good performance, music an dsound of this harp.

The sound of this harp is wonderful,it has a deep bass sound!

[trishdish101]

very nice!!!!

amazing Cheyenne! :)

[Fl0werGiirl]

I really love the songs!! =D,well played

[Cupecoygirl]

cheyenne is such a talented harpist, and the pieces chosen really complement each other. Beautiful!

[ghostpoopster]

[creamofcardstv]

I like your vid clip and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out my video clip of some very rare 1934 tobacco cards of old and ethnic musical instruments.

[santiboy]

Bravo

[gloworm7]

Cheyenne: Beautiful pieces and beautifully played!!, especially the Earl of Dunmore jig!!! I am an advanced beginner on lever harp, and would love to know where you found the sheet music to this jig, since I've had a rather difficult time locating it and had to settle for a rendition that is supposed to be played on the fiddle...Any info. you can provide on this would be great!

[kielijakantele]

Nice muffling technique... it makes the music very clear and clean. Good looking soundboard on the harp, too.

[robindevaucelles]

Lovely music, graceful.

[paranoimia]

Most excellent. :)

[pavelroman]

Bravo!!!

[dziemmak]
