Hi, you would put the F and C pedals in the sharp position before you start playing if the piece is in D major. You can change the pedal after playing the string but it would make an obvious buzzing sound - it's more of a special effect in contemporary or jazz music.

Thank you very much 🙂

Thanks, sorry to boggle your mind! Do you play any instruments yourself?

@@HarpistAngelina 😂 I play the piano (well, used to - 4 years of music school, including vocals). Enough to know if something is difficult . 😉

Thank you - I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

@@VinijaVarghese-g7j I will see what I can do!

You are so welcome. How long have you been playing the harp?

Oh wow I bet that was interesting. Really good for your brain too. Hope you are well!

haha you are so right! How long have you been playing?

Thank you so much :-) It's the arrangement by Daniel Burton x

Thank you! 😊

@@mhoppy6639 thank you so much for these kind words

@@sebastianoconsolino9639 thank you ☺️

@@ajr5348 thank you very much. Are you a musician yourself?

@@HarpistAngelina no just a fan

@@jennihodges8634 hi! I found several arrangements on bollypiano.com - hope that helps x

​@@HarpistAngelinavery cool, thank you!

Hope you are keeping well ☺️

Thank you Ben 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed! Do you play any instruments?

Thank you 🥰

Wow thanks so much for these kind words. I’m so glad you enjoy my playing :-) do you play a musical instrument yourself?

@@HarpistAngelina Thanks for your reply, Angelina! Seven months ago, you asked something similar in my previous comment I left on your 'Feed The Birds' performance, and I did respond. But now I'm not sure if you caught it. It might have escaped your notice 😀 Meanwhile, there have been some changes. About four months ago, I started my musical journey with the low D whistle, guided by TH-cam tutorials. Motivated by curiosity and my love for Celtic music, I embraced the challenge to give it a try myself, and now I'm a happy whistler! 😀 And I still wouldn't label myself as a musician; maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit 😄 Any chance you might bless us with some new video uploads in the near future, Angelina? Pretty please? 🙏😀 Meanwhile, I love to walk in your enchanting Garden of Music, appreciating and enjoying the many blooming musical flowers already around me 🎵🌹😊

@@Patrick__R Hi, sorry I must have missed that reply. I'm glad you've started your musical journey though! That's great! I do plan on posting more videos in the near future. I'm currently getting ready to have my first baby in February, so it's just a question of finding the time :)

@@HarpistAngelina My sincere congratulations, Angelina! What fantastic news about your upcoming bundle of joy! 😀 Your music has been a true gift, and I can only imagine the musical wonders your little one will be surrounded by 🎼🌠 Take all the time you need to embrace this magical chapter of your life, and we'll be patiently waiting for the day when you grace us with more of your enchanting performances. Best wishes for a smooth and joy-filled journey into parenthood! 👶🍼 And a Happy New Year as well! Embrace the new year by saying goodbye to the old and welcoming fresh opportunities with an open heart 💛 Harmony is the sweetest melody; may 2024 always be a symphony of joy and happiness for you and yours, with the enchanting echoes of dreams coming true! 🎼✨🌈😊

It depends on which is more important to you--portability or sound. Ogden = much more easily portable, Troubadour = bigger sound (and two more strings in the top end). Did you get one of them?

Hi, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 I love Britten and can't wait to perform the Ceremony of Carols this Christmas. The Suite is so good although I admit I haven't got round to learning it properly yet. Are you a musician?

@@HarpistAngelina The pleasure is all mine! I listened to it multiple times 🙂 I would consider myself mostly a composer these days, but I also am a violinist. I have a small amount of harp ability from being involved with a harpist though. Britten has written some of my favorite works, the 1st Cello Suite is one of my all-time favorites. But as far as Harp goes, the Britten Suite, Hindemith Sonata and the Berio Sequenza (it's amazing) are definitely my top three Harp pieces. I could talk about this for a long time, so I'll cut myself off before I write a novel 😅

@@Aaron-xq6hv oh yes they are all excellent pieces. I particularly love the Hindemith. Have you ever listened to The Crown of Ariadne by R. Murray Schafer? That's a fascinating piece for harp and percussion.

@@HarpistAngelina I could listen to the Hindemith all day. I've been neck-deep in Harp stuff trying to write things lately (so much Salzedo), I hadn't heard of this piece before, but from what I've listened to so far, this is exactly what I'd like and I'm really glad you showed this to me. (I've also been wanting to write for percussion lately). If you have any particular extended techniques you're fond of I'd love to hear what you like.

Thank you for your kind comment :-) I didn't memorise this one so I had the music in front of me. With practise it gets easier over time. Are you a musician?

Thank you so much!

Hey, thanks for your comment :-) you are very kind. My advice would be to practise the arpeggios very slowly, but also play them in dotted rhythms for that even sound. Use the metronome. You will get there! Just keep up with the slow practise xx

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your comment has made my day! Are you a musician yourself?

@@HarpistAngelina Thanks for taking the time to write some words of appreciation 😊 While I play the harmonica for fun, I don't consider myself a musician 😀 Mom loved playing the harmonica, and she passed that love on to me, making our house always filled with tunes 🎶🎵😀 Thank you once more for your reply, and for the delightful musical moments 🎶🎵✨😊

Thank you. I didn't arrange it myself. I've had the arrangement for so long I'm not sure where I got it from... possibly sheet music direct. Are you a harpist too? How long have you been playing?

@@HarpistAngelina I bought my first harp, Cresendo 34, in February of this year. I am taking local lessons. Hope to play therapeutically someday with a "walk about" harp.

@@kristinasterling815 That sounds like a lovely idea!

If you wanted to learn the harp with me you would need an instrument of your own to bring to your lessons. For piano, we can use the piano at my house for your lessons. Hope that helps!

yes I do, I love the piano!

Yay!

Amazing! Do you play an instrument already? X

I used to play the drums! Anways I’m so exited to learn from u soon you seem so talented I love to brag about you to my mum

Thank you, do you play the harp yourself?

@@HarpistAngelina Not at all. I just enjoy listening to music and learning new things. I’m a curious fellow. 😅. Wish I could play, though.

Hi, it’s not my own arrangement, I think I got it from Sheet Music Direct x

@@HarpistAngelina Thank you! I will have a look there.

Thanks! 🙂
