Wow this always hits me. Just remembering being a child, watching all my favorite Disney movies and listening to this song before every movie started, it takes me back to when life was so simplistic and free.
Amy... I have literally grown up with this lovely song, from the first time I heard it in the movie "Pinocchio" in the early 1950s when I was a little boy. Over the decades I have heard many versions of it, vocal and instrumental. For vocal versions, I would have to give Linda Ronstadt and Jackie Evancho, who sang it so beautifully at age eleven, top honors. But for instrumental performances, yours is absolutely the most beautiful I have ever heard. It is as if the song were written exclusively for the concert harp, and I can feel your whole heart and soul in this performance. And you have played it as Leigh originally wrote it, with no added embellishments. Perfect. Good thing it is here on TH-cam and on CD, because by now I would have worn out a vinyl playing your beautiful solos. Plus, watching you play this lovely instrument is a wonderful part of the experience. Pure elegance. Thank you so very much for the joy and beauty you have brought to all of us. 🌴💖
@@amyturkharp Please keep doing Exactly as you have been doing all along, Amy... and disregard all of the "advice" and criticism from the "TH-cam experts" around here. You are doing it all perfectly, and beautifully. And please also tell Ben Thank You for his beautiful audio recording and video editing of your videos that have brought this lovely music to me and so many others around the planet. I have been sharing your video performances with friends from the mainland U.S. and Canada to Slovenia and the Czech Republic to Finland, Malta, Japan, and Australia. Oh... and the Philippines. And I know that I am Far from the only one doing this. 😊 Nā kāleka aloha mai Hawai'i ... 🌴🌴💕
This made my heart ache and a small tear roll down my cheek. You have real talent and a truly spiritual connection with music. Just watching the emotion in your face and hearing the sounds you create is breathtaking. Thankyou
This song makes me feel so nostalgic ❤ it sounds even more beautiful on harp, and the way you play this piece makes it feel like christmas time. Keep up the great work
She became my favourite harpist too, dominating my "Harp" playlist haha... I also like Xavier de Maistre's Spanish pieces, as his perfectionism is not so cold in them anymore, but brings them to a different, really beautiful emotional level. Have a look at this one if you like it: th-cam.com/video/dhJGxopg1B8/w-d-xo.html
Oh the ' voice ' you give to the harp . Amy, you are magic. And as Beautiful to behold as the very music we are privileged to be gifted with. Thank you, marcia
I just became a supporter of your beautiful music. You play on my heart strings with your harp strings. Thank you for these inspiring moments of sheer joy! 👏❤️🙏

Seriously, who gave this a thumbs down? What's the matter with you people -- are you broken in some way? Have you any remote idea how complicated it is to play the harp, and at this level?
One can only guess. Jealous colleague who doesn't like the style perhaps? Or a frenemy? ...or maybe someone who thinks that achieving her level of artistry isn't that hard..
@@Drunk3n1rish2009 I can play the viola and violin. I said it's not that hard because someone I knew said the harp is a very easy instrument. People need to stop judging.
This is lovely, well done! Also I recently got a Harp! It's a 12 String Harp and I was wondering if you could tell me about those Harp as in what kind of repertoire I can play stuff like that. If not that's fine to!
There is absolutely NOTHING at 00:19 or anywhere else on this beautiful performance that is less than perfect and straight from her heart. Perhaps you were just looking for some microscopic imperfection in Amy's performance so we could all be impressed with your phenominal knowledge and "expertise"? Oh Brrrrrother... 🙄
I'm really sorry but it's not possible to publish sheet music for this, the copyright holder won't allow it. If that ever changes I'd love to publish this, and that would be done through MusicNotes.com 🎶

Amy you are the only harpist I care to listen to anymore. Very elegant. It takes me away to another place for the little moment. I really enjoy it.
Joel Talo Have you heard the Harp Twins?
The Harp Twins are good, granted, but Amy has an emotional presence and a polished exertise in her style that puts her on top of the game.

Damn! Why are dislikes on this video? It is absolutely beautiful!

As an ex-Disney employee, I applaud this 🌟🙂✨
Beautiful music played by a beautiful lady, can't get any better! Thanks for the video Amy, looking forward to more of your endeavors.

Calm, tender and soft, thanks for the music it reveals soothing mode and peace of mind as well.

This is such a beautiful song and is the perfect song for the harp.

My favorite rendition of this timeless song. Sometimes songs are best when the words are sung in your head to a sweet melody. Thank you, Amy.😊
This is so lovely.
Wow beautiful sound from the harp and good song from one of my favourite movie when I was a kid

I teared up at the end, listened to it again immediately after and had the exact same reaction. That was so great.
I just became a supporter of your beautiful music. You play on my heart strings with your harp strings. Thank you for these inspiring moments of sheer joy! 👏❤️🙏

OH-MY-GOD. I love this, and I don't say that often.
When a star is born,
They possess a gift or two.
One of them is this:
They have the power
To make a wish come true...
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are.
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you.
If your heart is in your dream,
No request is too extreme.
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do.
Fate is kind.
She brings to those who love,
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing...
Like a bolt out of the blue,
Fate steps in and sees you through.
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams come true.
Angelic!
So nice, I wish you make videos more often!
Joey Ouyang Same here- though I guess we need to give her time to work out her arrangements!
Seriously, who gave this a thumbs down? What's the matter with you people -- are you broken in some way? Have you any remote idea how complicated it is to play the harp, and at this level?
It's not that hard

@@zorapoo2881 Says the one who I would bet money can't play a single musical instrument
@@Drunk3n1rish2009 I can play the viola and violin. I said it's not that hard because someone I knew said the harp is a very easy instrument. People need to stop judging.
@@zorapoo2881 Mmmhmmm....
The pot calls the kettle black.
I wish upon a star that Amy has CDs to sell .
The Disney anthem!
This is lovely, well done! Also I recently got a Harp! It's a 12 String Harp and I was wondering if you could tell me about those Harp as in what kind of repertoire I can play stuff like that. If not that's fine to!
Thank you Amy.. :-)
Hi Amy, would you consider doing bloody tears (castlevania), it'd be difficult im sure, but i bet you'd nail it.
God bless you.
You and Sofia Kiprskaya are my two dream harp girls, sublime!
If that one doesn't reanimate Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen head... I don't know what will... (yes I know it's a myth).
Amy!!!! It’s been a looooong time!!!
Disco Dubber it's been a month! But I hear that's an eternity on YT! :D
When I heard the key of this, I couldn't help but sing just like Cliff Edwards.
What’s the score to this version? I play it a lot on my Harp but this is lovely!
b e a u t i f u l
My nose got longer watching this video.
Was this your own arrangement Amy? I'd love the sheet music for this!
Yes, pretty much all songs in my videos are my own arrangements! Sheet music for this one is coming in the new year. 🙂
I’d really love for her to do the song from sleeping beauty if she hasn’t already.
Didnt know harp sounds beautiful
Please do one of the themes of assassin's creed. I want "Ezio's Family"
❤❤❤❤bravooooo❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful!
Question: 00:19 i don't like this quality of sound, is it intentional?
Yes she's muffling so the bass doesn't get too muddy.
There is absolutely NOTHING at 00:19 or anywhere else on this beautiful performance that is less than perfect and straight from her heart. Perhaps you were just looking for some microscopic imperfection in Amy's performance so we could all be impressed with your phenominal knowledge and "expertise"? Oh Brrrrrother... 🙄
Very pretty
Can you do Part Of Your World from The Little Mermaid 🧜♀️?

Could you do viva la vida by coldplay and your amazing btw 💛
