    Thanks for watching! :) Sheet music for this arrangement can be found as part of my "Transcriptions for Lever Harp" book, as a standalone PDF, and also as part of a bundle with my arrangement of the complete Toccata and Fugue for pedal harp.

      Amazing! Would you ever be willing to make a tutorial video for this song to sell? I’d buy it

    I never thought something so involved could be played on a lever harp so well. You must be a master at lever changing.

    As an adult learner that will probably never play a pedal harp it is marvellous to have this arrangement for lever harp to which I can aspire to play one day.

    Wow!
    Color me impressed!
    I used to play the lever harp in my younger days and never would have even to look for an arrangement of this piece, let alone think that it was possible.
    Amazing share here - thank you!

    smoothest lever changing i've ever seen/heard and a marvelous, dynamic performance of a remarkable transcription!

    This is just so great - thank you! Lever changes are crazy smooth :) The jewel-like tones at the beginning were beautiful - great ringing of the notes!

    Fabulous, Josh ! I’ve been pretty lax about stretching my technique beyond the usual Celtic ditties - thinking I’d need a pedal harp to play more challenging (and interesting) pieces. I have a lovely big Lyon and Healey harp just begging to voice some advanced works. I’m working on my technique….hoping to expand my scope….I need to buy some of your arrangements for lever harp ! I’ll check-out the description boxes on your videos….hopefully find out what’s available. I’m a Victoria boy - born and bred….living in Nova Scotia now. Thanks for your inspiration and talent - stay healthy !

    Super video Josh, well done. A little fly at 0:45 enjoyed it too, : ) I wonder what it's like to stand on those vibrating strings !! Thank you for the wonderful performance

    Bravo! Absolutely top notch, from the setting, to the musical arrangement. I have always admired the harp, it may sound crazy, but I've wanted to purchase a harp just to have on display in my home. After watching this video, I almost wish I had learned how to play the harp. I think harps are the most beautiful pieces of instruments to look at....and now, to listen to. I'm a writer, and after watching this it has inspired a title of a book or play. 💃🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏆

    • @JoshLayne
      @JoshLayne  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wonderful! And yes, harps are beautiful just to look at (and actually quite easy to start, though like any instrument difficult to master :)

    As a non-harp player, I've been wondering how harpists deal with heavy chromaticism in lever harps. This performance amazes me!

    Amazing...superb. Do hope that Cardiff goes ahead next year and I can come to hear you play! Tempted to buy your transcription, but it's so far beyond me to be laughable...and I thought my lever changes were quite good!
