Hold on -- isn't "Lord of the Dance" a completely different tune with completely different words, and in minor key? My Sunday School class/children's choir learned that long ago (thanks, Mrs. Rudolph, wherever you are).

Nevertheless, I love your superb control on the instrument: disciplined yet expressive.

[jgkovac]

I could be wrong, but I thought they were one in same tune but different words

[rakkav]

I see that there are several YouTube videos in which "Simple Gifts" (tune) is set to the words I know, so you're not wrong! :) But that means someone set the same words to a different tune, which as you know is far from uncommon in folk music. Had I a video camera, I'd record myself on harp/voice doing the tune that Mrs. Rudolph taught us.

I love this song! Well, both of them. We used to sing Lord of the Dance in church, and I always sang Simple Gifts to my son. Thanks so much for choosing these songs!

[jgkovac]

yes, Paraguayan style harps have much lower tension than 'conventional' harps

Are you playing with your nails?

That was me that asked the question. I forgot my sister was signed into youtube when I posted.

[jgkovac]

I just found your channel and videos yesterday. I am subscribing! I like your style of playing.

I play a Lyon and Healy Prelude and am going to buy a lap harp soon for a trip I'm taking to Brazil. I'll get a pedal harp in the next few years. I LOVE playing the harp.
