After listening to Debussy on the harp, I feel it's the natural instrument for these pieces, as much as the piano... with the "water" effect and all. Love it.
Hm I can understand where you're coming from but it's not as smooth and crystal clear as the piano which are aspects of water and on the piano it really sounds like water drops or something like that to me

Try to imagine the whole process from start to finish of what it took to get us to this point. Somebody , many centuries ago conceived & created the Harp. It then must have taken years to work out the harmony of the strings in order to make it sound so wonderful . We then learned to write & read music, which was phenomenal. After all of this, we needed an inspired composer such as Debussy to produce this masterpiece. Finally, we have a beautiful player who has practiced for years to bring this incredibly emotional & heavenly sound to our ears. Incredible..💚
Why see it as a "progress-process" to culminate in something beautiful? There is nothing wrong with Medieval and Renaissance harps, they are beautiful per se - sound wise included - and not merely "a step into something greater". It's not about being better or worse.... It's simply different.

You demonstrate the best qualities of humanity by just playing the harp the way you do…truly incredible. Good show.

Chapter XXXI - Agency of Evil Spirits The connection of the visible with the invisible world, the ministration of angels of God, and the agency of evil spirits, are plainly revealed in the Scriptures, and inseparably interwoven with human history. There is a growing tendency to disbelief in the existence of evil spirits, while the holy angels that “minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation,” [Hebrews 1:14.] are regarded by many as the spirits of the dead. But the Scriptures not only teach the existence of angels, both good and evil, but present unquestionable proof that these are not the disembodied spirits of dead men. {GC88 511.1}. . . Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any [thing] that is done under the sun. 9:7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
Tuning any instrument with a large number of strings is always an exercise in patience. :) Pianos and organs are the only thing more difficult than the harp.
Carolyn well most days it doesn’t go out of time too much but every so often it gets wayyyy off. Especially with weird weather changes! How often to you tune in the south? I’m in the midwest
@@audreyh5981 I tune basically every time I sit down with the harp, which is usually more than once a day. On humid days (and we have lots of very humid days) I'll need to tune in the middle of practice too because humidity changes throughout the day. For performances you have to be even more dilligent. The main issues are the gut strings, as I'm sure you know. But also I have an older harp that apparently must have an issue with wood warping with humidity, because the bass wires and even the nylon can do funky things.
The two arabasques are written mainly in a diatonic way, and their rather linear writing makes their transcription to the harp easy. This interpretation is so nice that the two arabesques seem to have been directly written for the harp. A very nice moment of music with these charming youth compositions of Debussy.

@@dvntpxnic. You are so welcome! What is that saying, "don't let the buggers get you down". It seems my life too has had many a dark time. What kept me going, and still does, apart from the fact that I am reeeeally stubborn, is that all of life has a reason and purpose. I tell myself something good will come out of this, whether it's understanding of myself or that my experience will help someone else when I come out the other side. Nothing we ever do in our lives is a waste, not one thing. If our experiences nearly destroy us, what we learn from it will surely save someone else's life, purely because we came through and helping someone through similar is what it is about. Using our experience may take years but it is never a waste. I will tell you something, if we were not strong enough, we wouldn't have had that experience. And how we come out the other side may seem obvious to us but not to others, so this life is a school in an unstructured kind of a way. Knowledge cannot always be read from a book. I really hope this helps you, because believe me, someday the rewards you will receive will be awesome. Just know that a kind word or action, doesn't have to be a big thing, maybe just a smile, will light up someone else's world. I understand that the first thought is why me? Instead say, ok, bring it on, I will find a way through. Whatever is happening to you it may be your job to succeed so that you can pass on that knowledge to someone who may not have your mindset, not be as strong as you. Just think then whenever that occurs in your life, day, weeks or even years later, how great you will feel that you had that experience and have saved another's life. Love and Light to you.
Then if he claims to be a fine connoisseur of Debussy - Deux Arabesques, he should compare with the piano versions: he would see that it is very similar in lenght and variation. In fact she plays it more slowly than it is played on piano. So how could the're be MORE SILENCE and LET THE SOUND SPRED more than that ?? Here's an example: Debussy - Arabesque No.1 and No.2 th-cam.com/video/9Fle2CP8gR0/w-d-xo.html I'm not a harpist neither but I'm a music lover myself
Didn't realize Debussy was written for the harp until just now. Magnifique, mademoiselle. Cette piece est d'une beaute indescriptible. Merci pour votre talent.
That's exactly what's music here for. I really wish that you can live a happy life, with just enough depression in it so you have to come back from time to time to listen to this beautiful music;)
One day you'll come here not to cry, but just enjoy and thank life to bring us such miracle: music. I'll pray for you. I too have problems and come here to escape from real world
Matthew 11.28 is an invitation of cosmic proportion- overcome the wall of doubt and disbelief that others are busy constructing and join the resistance
I don't exactly know what to say. One of the most beautiful pieces of music that I have ever heard. Makes me feel like I am in heaven. My dad passed away about 2 weeks ago from Alzheimer's/dementia and Parkinson's disease. Listening to this makes me feel sad but in a beautiful way, if that makes any sense.
My father passed away 10 years ago, Arabesque was one of the pieces that were played during the Ceremony, I was familiar with Arabesque but not until then had I really noticed it! It was a Classical piece I had heard before but is now something more special! it's beautiful!!!

J'expliquais à l'instant que cette oeuvre de Debussy au piano coulait comme l'eau d'un source tranquille descendante des sommets montagneux, appelant à la sérénité, à la paix mais à la harpe, cette aspect aquatique prend ton son sens. Magnifique interprétation emplie de sensibilité. Bravo Héloïse.

Having heard/played this on the piano for years it is incredibly refreshing to hear it on the harp... tbh I think it almost sounds even better like this 👌
I heard this on piano as a very young woman and fell in love. Hearing this on the harp is like falling in love all over again. The delicacy of the harp as opposed to the piano has sent me to heaven.
Rap lyrics (at least to me) are meaningless, a bunch of people talking fast with crummy beats in the background. Classical has everything, so beautiful, indescribable, every composer makes something different. Some people have the gift of listening to, and enjoying this music. I wish people would appreciate it more. Classical music is one of the only ways I enjoy the world, I can’t explain the passion I feel for this music, the piano, and the harp.
@@controversy4987 I don't know if you've ever truly lent your ear to what some people have to say, then. You don't have to listen to rap, but don't criticize it until you've given all genres an honest listen (e.i. gangster rap would be much different than say someone like No Name). Music has always been about struggle, and the artists in hip hop have been through some of the greatest hardships of our time. Artists in the classical period had to be rebellious in order to discontinue the baroque period, too. Every generation will always hate the art that comes from the next.
@@HUNKragor widen your horizons ;) jk i wouldnt call rap your definition of art, but im a simple dude who likes simple easy listening rap most of the time, to each their own
That performance made me remember my sister. When I was young she was practicing this on her piano. It brings out goosebumbs, wonder. Like it did back then. It sounds as beautiful on this harp as on the piano. I haven't heard her play piano for a long time. It would mean the world to me to hear her play again.
Special shout out to this girl. What an immaculate performance. This really was utterly incredible. Thank you for bringing this arrangement to life in such a beautiful way. I don't think the gates of heaven could sound as beautiful.
😊 Wunderschön, ich könnte mir schon vorstellen, das es im Himmel so klingt! Man sagt manchmal, das die Musik mancher Künstler von himmlischer Inspiration ist! Und sie klingt auch so, für jeden der die ganz feinen Töne hören und spüren kann.
This is my favorite Debussy and your interpretation is now my favorite version. I believe he envisioned Deux Arabesque on the instrument; just perfection!
It is kinda interesting how the original piano piece here DOES sound like it was MADE for the harp. There were many great composers, but none of them SOUNDED like Debussy.
I heard Arabesque for the first time just yesterday. I am staggered at the beauty in this piece. I must say this piece sounds even more heavenly on this harp with this amazingly gifted player..what a treasure:)

I just found you tonight and I’ve had you on repeat all evening. As a fellow musician I must say I have never heard the harp played so beautifully in my life, never mind with such exquisite interpretations of Debussy! Your interpretation and expression are so soothing and healing to the soul. Can you pretty please play the Sunken Cathedral by Debussy for us? And I’d love to see what you can do with Ravel!! You are healing many souls with your beautiful music. God bless you!
There is something truly elevating in this interpretation: I wonder how any human being (regardless of race, culture, religion etc.) cannot feel Héloise's flow, in resonance with a superior movement which grants this Arabesque natural and authentic elegance, profound harmony and simple beauty! Merci for sharing, vraiment magnifique...

True!! but did you smoke?
So... thats why they say that there are Harps playing in heaven.

Wherever such harps play is heaven. I played this on piano at music school in Honolulu, Hawaii, when I majored in music during the early 60s. .

Just know that a kind word or action, doesn't have to be a big thing, maybe just a smile, will light up someone else's world. I understand that the first thought is why me? Instead say, ok, bring it on, I will find a way through. Whatever is happening to you it may be your job to succeed so that you can pass on that knowledge to someone who may not have your mindset, not be as strong as you. Just think then whenever that occurs in your life, day, weeks or even years later, how great you will feel that you had that experience and have saved another's life. Love and Light to you.
I'm sending you my best wishes. You are going to be fine soon.
Wonderful playing. Heloise really understands how Debussy should be played.
Not perfectly for me. Because this track need more silence, more suspension at some moments. let the sound spred.
Simon Rivet, you are right!...
You're both completely wrong. She is perfect - Let's hear your version. Are you musicians to begin with ?
Then if he claims to be a fine connoisseur of Debussy - Deux Arabesques, he should compare with the piano versions: he would see that it is very similar in lenght and variation. In fact she plays it more slowly than it is played on piano. So how could the're be MORE SILENCE and LET THE SOUND SPRED more than that ?? Here's an example: Debussy - Arabesque No.1 and No.2 th-cam.com/video/9Fle2CP8gR0/w-d-xo.html
I'm not a harpist neither but I'm a music lover myself
oups...

Didn't realize Debussy was written for the harp until just now. Magnifique, mademoiselle. Cette piece est d'une beaute indescriptible. Merci pour votre talent.
the harp is the most underrated instrument, and it is a shame we see so little of it now
Oh to learn harp would be so fun, they're just so expensive
Its so freakin weird to write for. Most modern composers don’t wanna write for it, so theres no new music.
Yep, very expensive.
I struggle with depression and whenever I just need a place to cry and soothe my pain I come here. Thank you so much for your music
It’s 04:04am here and that’s exactly my experience^^.
That's exactly what's music here for. I really wish that you can live a happy life, with just enough depression in it so you have to come back from time to time to listen to this beautiful music;)
One day you'll come here not to cry, but just enjoy and thank life to bring us such miracle: music. I'll pray for you.
I too have problems and come here to escape from real world
I hope you find peace my friend

I always thought harp music was an instrument invented by Devine being. Played by angels. Understood by geniuses! Most beautiful sound ever.

I don't exactly know what to say. One of the most beautiful pieces of music that I have ever heard. Makes me feel like I am in heaven. My dad passed away about 2 weeks ago from Alzheimer's/dementia and Parkinson's disease. Listening to this makes me feel sad but in a beautiful way, if that makes any sense.
I feel the exact same way. To me it’s like I'm walking through a childhood dream that I don't want to wake from. Debussy speaks to our soul~
My father passed away 10 years ago, Arabesque was one of the pieces that were played during the Ceremony, I was familiar with Arabesque but not until then had I really noticed it! It was a Classical piece I had heard before but is now something more special! it's beautiful!!!
*hugs for everyone*
It does.
Jason: sorry for your lost. This music will heal your heart and soul.
listening to this along with the rain outside. i think ive found heaven
Wow 😍😍😍😍
I've been performing this in concert on the piano for years, but you make it sound delightful on the harp! Refreshed my ears.
Thank you! I looked at your chanel and your music are really charming! :)
brought tears to my eyes and made me want to try it out on the piano, too!
An angel playing the harp.
I seriously can’t get over how well she played this
Imagine owning a small coffee shop in paris and this music is playing in the shop
are you seeeerious T_T that is soooo beautiful
That wouldn’t fit at all in a parisian café lol
@@Namaster88 I have to agree. I cant say I like paris as much as it is hyped up to be. It's got it's pretty spots, but most cafés are just normal cafés.
O, et je suis désolé si vous habite en Paris et tu ne pense pas le même que moi, ils sont mes pensées de quand j'y ai visité (ou j'y-t-ai mieux? Français est ma deuxième langue)
what else could u wish for
yeah sure for the coke at 3.80€ they'd better have a kickass harp to attract me in as a french not from paris ;_;

@sydneycarton1000 Bach came from a different era and his views are irrelevant here. The purpose of TH-cam comments on music videos is to talk about the music. Not to inject your religious views. It's puerile and dull. Maybe you are the myopia sufferer if you can't see that what you believe in is pure fantasy?
@sydneycarton1000 what words from my previous comment did you need to lookup in a dictionary? LOL!! They were normal, everyday words so I now see the level of education of who I'm dealing with, and the penny drops why you believe in fairies. Seriously though, were you indoctrinated as a child or did you enter into these beliefs as an adult? Adults can still fall for cults and religions but have usually grown a skill to evaluate what they're being told. I have sympathy for you if your parents made you think this stuff. Time to break free perhaps?
The crescendo at 2:19 was beautiful... Harpists are blessed...
I listened to it so many times!
no wonder it's so peaceful in heaven, the angels are playing these all day.
That sounds great in your hands, I loved it!

It's crazy to know that this video is 6 years old. I always come back here when I need to calm down because I just fell in love with her interpretation the first time I heard it.
I will never grow tired of listening, your Deux Arabesques are ethereal. Debussy and you share the same heart.
I'd forgotten what it was to cry at something so achingly beautiful but that's my night tonight I guess
You just need to remember nothing but you loved something
As beautiful as I find something in art or music it never makes me cry I hope I'm feeling it right
@@joshmiller7489 Don't stress it, bud - I think different people have different thresholds for what makes them cry (I cry just thinking about crying, it's ridiculous) - I don't think it means you're not feeling things as much, just that your crying point is further down the feelings line than it is in some other people.
@@Kifflington beautifully put
@SumKoon Thanks for the laugh :-D
L'élégance, la fantaisie, la douceur, tout Debussy et une bonne partie de l'identité de la musique classique française. Merci !
I still come back to this. I used to listen to this all the time when I visited Alaska. And now when I listen, I miss the fabulous trip it was. Thank you for your music, a touch of heaven.
J'expliquais à l'instant que cette oeuvre de Debussy au piano coulait comme l'eau d'un source tranquille descendante des sommets montagneux, appelant à la sérénité, à la paix mais à la harpe, cette aspect aquatique prend ton son sens.
Magnifique interprétation emplie de sensibilité. Bravo Héloïse.
Brought a tear to my eye.. reminded of King Saul being calmed by David playing harp to Him. Beautiful
Thank you! Indeed music has the power to soothe us
@Antony Ruiz God is a fairytale. Get your head over it.
Man, listening to this while drawing is just the most comfy feeling ever
Gonna try it! Thanks for the idea!;)
Yeah, that'd be very relaxing.
Ok, now I'm addicted to this style of music, this melody. It's like a concert that noble people of centuries past paid to hear. Wowww
Kinda missed hearing a cough now and then from audience but other than that pretty good

Aye all perfect performances should come with 3 sneezes, 2 people falling over trying to get to the loo and one full on coughing fit.
The audience was one cat. Cats don't cough.

Si j'avais seulment neuf minutes pour vivre, Je voundrais passer le temps ici. With love from Mississippi US.
never really understood how people could cry from hearing music but here i am!! this is absolutely stunning
Lol, I do that sometimes. I think it depends on what mood you're in. It is great when you can be moved by music so much.
This is the type of stuff that makes me proud to be french
The grace and poise of the harpist is amazing, it is like she is part of the music.
It is an indisputable fact that the two arabesques, being mainly diatonic and partly based on scales and arpeggios, perfectly fit with the harp.

The Goddess came down to Earth to play angelic music... Debussy wrote these arabesques over 100 years ago just for You. Thank You for taking me for 9,5 minutes to Paradise!
can’t imagine all the practice that went into this, anyone can tell you were born to play
Having heard/played this on the piano for years it is incredibly refreshing to hear it on the harp... tbh I think it almost sounds even better like this 👌
I heard a version with harp playing accompaniment and a flute playing the solo. Absolutely heavenly
That's not to say that this isn't wonderful tho❤
This takes me to a part of my life I haven't lived yet. It feels good.
I heard this on piano as a very young woman and fell in love. Hearing this on the harp is like falling in love all over again. The delicacy of the harp as opposed to the piano has sent me to heaven.
🕊🤍🕊
Amazing lady aswesum x
The harp is an absolutely gorgeous instrument.
That was so beautiful and peaceful. You're a phenomenal player.
Join the Resistance my friend..
Yeah. That's beautiful.
Thank you for your very nice comment! :)
J'ai mon coeur joie pour vous musique. Merci!
woah i usually just listen to rap but that was incredible
Widen your horizons
Rap lyrics (at least to me) are meaningless, a bunch of people talking fast with crummy beats in the background. Classical has everything, so beautiful, indescribable, every composer makes something different. Some people have the gift of listening to, and enjoying this music. I wish people would appreciate it more. Classical music is one of the only ways I enjoy the world, I can’t explain the passion I feel for this music, the piano, and the harp.
@Eredita yeah I would not ignore rap as an art form
@@controversy4987 I don't know if you've ever truly lent your ear to what some people have to say, then. You don't have to listen to rap, but don't criticize it until you've given all genres an honest listen (e.i. gangster rap would be much different than say someone like No Name). Music has always been about struggle, and the artists in hip hop have been through some of the greatest hardships of our time. Artists in the classical period had to be rebellious in order to discontinue the baroque period, too. Every generation will always hate the art that comes from the next.
@@HUNKragor widen your horizons ;) jk i wouldnt call rap your definition of art, but im a simple dude who likes simple easy listening rap most of the time, to each their own
That performance made me remember my sister. When I was young she was practicing this on her piano. It brings out goosebumbs, wonder. Like it did back then. It sounds as beautiful on this harp as on the piano.
I haven't heard her play piano for a long time. It would mean the world to me to hear her play again.
Special shout out to this girl. What an immaculate performance. This really was utterly incredible. Thank you for bringing this arrangement to life in such a beautiful way. I don't think the gates of heaven could sound as beautiful.
I saw her at my school today she did a concert with her brother and her sister they were so good ✨
I would sure hope that a beatified would equal or outdo this 🙁
😊 Wunderschön, ich könnte mir schon vorstellen,
das es im Himmel so klingt!
Man sagt manchmal, das die Musik mancher

Und sie klingt auch so, für jeden der die
ganz feinen Töne hören und spüren kann.
Hmmm.. I wouldn't mind having this being played at my funeral. Not a time to mourn but a celebration of the highs and lows my life..
This is my favorite Debussy and your interpretation is now my favorite version. I believe he envisioned Deux Arabesque on the instrument; just perfection!
The pieces were written for piano, but they sound absolutely beautiful on the harp as well.
Drugtestcups Another you might instantly love is Isao Tomita. He also does Claire de Lune. Mind blowing really.
EmpressOfWyoming58 - Thank you so much for this recommendation! Mind blowing indeed.
It is kinda interesting how the original piano piece here DOES sound like it was MADE for the harp. There were many great composers, but none of them SOUNDED like Debussy.
The two pieces were written for the piano, but they should be played with harp-like sound
Merveilleux instrument de musique, délicatesse du son, grâce dans l'exécution, un pur régal pour les oreilles et le cœur. Belle interprétation 🙏🎶💓🎶
Arabesque, this gorgeous piece of Claude Debussy, played by the heavenly sound of the harp! Incredibly beautiful
I heard Arabesque for the first time just yesterday. I am staggered at the beauty in this piece. I must say this piece sounds even more heavenly on this harp with this amazingly gifted player..what a treasure:)
Thank you for reminding me there's still Beauty in the world. Music like this soothes the soul and brings peace to the heart.
still coming back to this version. a blessing to all. the meaning of life contained within.
The harp has such a beautiful, angelic timbre and this piece puts it to perfect use
Chants parfaits pour lire les formes subjectives des nuages et suivre d'un œil attendri les rainures des tiges des arbres; apprécier l'écriture complexe des branches imbriquées, goûter les couleurs de la décomposition de la lumière en gouttelettes d'eau dans un jardin, et ressentir fortement le sol humide de la forêt ancestrale pour percevoir les traces des animaux du passé profond.. Chère Héloïse, vous êtes adorable !!

as an egyptian i'm quite happy that harpe managed to travel all the way to france so that an angel like debussy could create such a masterpiece
France is very close to Egypt though in the grand scheme of things. Especially back then trade routes and water routes were widely used which allowed trading of skills and culture from European area lands and people with Africa.
@@Just.A.T-Rex "Especially back then trade routes and water routes were widely used" Water trade routes were less efficient back then and it took much more time for people to get to places, if anything, it was further away when compared to today.
The harp looks elegant, the music sounds ethereal, the harpist is beautiful and talented. God, am I in heaven?
Your art brings heaven to earth.

This familiar masterpiece she plays with splendid skill and incomparable technique and beautiful attire is comfortable and soothing to the ears , eyes and the mind

Mesmerizing performance. You made the harp sing.
Thank you for your very nice comment
The beauty of music is beyond words, breathtaking.
Hearing this while closing my eyes.. aaghh I love running away from reality
I just found you tonight and I’ve had you on repeat all evening. As a fellow musician I must say I have never heard the harp played so beautifully in my life, never mind with such exquisite interpretations of Debussy! Your interpretation and expression are so soothing and healing to the soul. Can you pretty please play the Sunken Cathedral by Debussy for us? And I’d love to see what you can do with Ravel!! You are healing many souls with your beautiful music. God bless you!
This pieced played on the harp is a match made in heaven. So beautiful.
Everything about this is beautiful. She is even beautiful. Wow.
So lovely. Walked down the aisle to this at my wedding last year. The harpist did an amazing job! It will always make me smile.
gosh she s absolutly amazing. such a grace and sensitivity.
This sounds like heaven and you look like an angel
Thank you for your very nice comment!
Прекрасная музыка и истинно талантливое исполнение. Спасибо, милая девушка!
Wouldnt be suprised stepping through the gates of heaven and seeing an angel playing this. Gorgeous
There is something truly elevating in this interpretation: I wonder how any human being (regardless of race, culture, religion etc.) cannot feel Héloise's flow, in resonance with a superior movement which grants this Arabesque natural and authentic elegance, profound harmony and simple beauty! Merci for sharing, vraiment magnifique...
