Laura, this is beautifully played ... I've listened to it several times already ... love it! Your harp sounds incredible too. I play the harp as well, although not as fine as you and nor have I the nerve to upload anything ... at least not yet.

This arrangement is the nicest one I've heard so far ... do you know if Sharon Knowles sells this arrangement in sheet music?

Thank you for posting this, and I look forward to more music from you. :-)

Thanks for all the positive feedback!! It's much appreciated! I don't know if Sharon has this in sheet music or not, but I'll ask her. She taught it to me by ear.

I'm sure this this talented young harpist will not be offended if i say that my favourite harp rendition of this melody is by Kathleen Loughnane, played, all too briefly, on her Harping On cd --absolutely heart-breaking, and for all the right reasons.

How many strings has that harp got?

You give this gorgeous composition room to breathe. Thank you. 5 stars.
