  • Beautiful! It is amazing how much a ukulele can sound like a harp.

  • @stringjamgirl Oh i know what you mean!!!!. . . By the way. . . just a hint . . . the way to achieve that harpier more mellow sound is to pluck or strum the strings further on up the fingerboard. . . rather than closer to the bridge. . . The closer you play to the bridge the brighter and consequently thinner the sound is. . the further up you play towards the fingeroard it can get more mellow and harpier

  • It's a lovely tune, isn't it, Mike? Well played.

  • @KenMiddletonUkulele Yes it is. . . There just seems to be certain melodies that come along that seem as though they were predestined so to speak. There is just something intrinsically magical in some melodies and I don't think we will ever be able to explain why they are that way. . . I find that fascinating. Spiritual actually.

  • Great job, Mike. This is a truly beautiful song, and I think it sounds even better with the ukulele... Lots of love from Finland.

  • Very nicely done...keep up the posts!

  • Beautiful!

  • Mike, Just wanted to let you know that my wife and I spent last weekend in Kakslauttanen in Finland, and we listened to this in a glass igloo under the stars. Thanks for helping make it so memorable !

  • Mike- this arrangement is sublime- as is your performance of it. What uke uke did you use for this?

  • One of the first classical pieces I ever heard. Beautiful rendition...cannot say any more

  • could you make a video to teach us this? I'm a finn and I would really love to learn this

  • I have a question for you. When you make these classical arrangements for ukulele, do you work from sheet music, or do you figure them out by ear?
