Other than the fact that this piece was played very well. I think we need to highlight the fact that Amy has played some notes with accents along with some Umph.. I'm referring to the Staccato and Sharpness of each note. throughout the piece we notice lots of elegance accompanied by its appropriate speed and precision. This video clearly demonstrates talent , skill along with Many many years of practice. Please keep playing for us all to enjoy. Merry Christmas!!
Amy's music has kept me calm for many occasions. When i find myself facing a long task ahead, i search a playlist from Amy and click play. This helps with productivity. I highly suggest this to others to try . Cheers.
Astonishing. The fact that harp players are few and far between musicians makes it all the better. Still, it's your talent that makes this shine. Keep going, this is good stuff.
I've exhausted all resources to find a better rendition of this classic. You, by far, are THE GREATEST!! thank you for the perfection you bring to your craft.
I used to think doing this was really offensive but then I got over myself and reverted to what seven year old me would have thought! Plus now I get to buy my own tinsel and I thought this black and gold stuff was about as tasteful as I could get.
Amy Turk Why did you think it was offensive? I really have to hear this one. I played trumpet. I think it is silly when someone uses a plunger to mute it.
one of my favorite things to do is go through every arrangement and performance of a piece i can find to find the best one. this is definitely the best arrangement and the best performance. her precision, staccato, and dynamics are really quite flawless and so tastefully chosen, and this arrangement, sold on her website, is also the best. she adds some very notable details and chords/octaves that are missing from other arrangements that make them fall flat. those additions in her arrangement make it far more striking and accurate to the original. thank you again Amy for crushing it!
And the crazy thing is, no matter what race it was, they would be able to comprehend it as music, and *hopefully* even be pleased by it! Just like math, music is something universally understood I think.
I keep wondering who would dare to put a dislike to something as beautiful as this. There are ALWAYS those, who oppose all that is good and worthwhile. We are deeply touched by the beauty of this piece and the excellency of this performance and interpretation. Thank you, Amy. Our pianist daughter has just begun her harp lessons, and your art will be a mighty source of inspiration for her. Keep up the good work!
Now we can't tell because TH-cam won't show the dislikes so that people won't get "butt-hurt" from the "negative comments". Boo....hoo....hoo.... Grow a spine you whiny ❄️s.
This is phenomenal! I particular enjoy the sforzandos and your amazing use of dynamics and colors in the rising arpeggios at 1:20. Thanks for what you do!
Amy really puts 120% of herself into her playing. I think she's the most expressive harpist I've ever seen. On a superficial note, I love her long hair. :)
I have been playing harp for a years and Amy's talent far exceeds most harpists. Her playing is graceful to watch and captivates me till the end. Just AMAZING. I inspire to be............. 🎶 better than today. Please keep playing, I love listening.
Absolutely beautiful rendition. Normally I do not comment on likes and dislikes as they are opinion related, but I'm afraid those 9 dislikes were from people whose trolleys have left their tracks. Well done and thank you for the gift.
I love her clarity and detail, but it is her use of dynamics which I respond to. You must also hear her on Bach's Toccato and Fugue in D minor - incredible !!
I was excitedly waiting for 1:20.
RebeccaETripp hell yeah it's a banger 10/10 would watch the strings plucked again goosebump thrill ride
Me too
I simply go feral for the arpeggio in this song
Me too and I wasn't disappointed.
RebeccaETripp so was I !! 😂
Another spectacular video. Thanks Mrs. Harpist!
Lord
I cant believ i got 1st comment here in the next 3 years.

Already on Repeat in my playlist. LOL =)
BufuGangsta let me see a video,of you playing the appropriate speed,as if their is recorded speed.your obviously, not a musician. lol!
her playing is flawless.
Amy's music has kept me calm for many occasions. When i find myself facing a long task ahead, i search a playlist from Amy and click play. This helps with productivity. I highly suggest this to others to try . Cheers.
BufuGangsta this is the effect of classical music 🎵👍
Astonishing. The fact that harp players are few and far between musicians makes it all the better. Still, it's your talent that makes this shine. Keep going, this is good stuff.
I LOVE everything about this. You are incredible!
Christine Salus I totally agree - and hello again!
Same!
Christmas Harp.... nothing better in the world.
Festive Yuletide to you!
I've exhausted all resources to find a better rendition of this classic. You, by far, are THE GREATEST!! thank you for the perfection you bring to your craft.
your Harp is cracking me up with its Christmas decorations on it.
I used to think doing this was really offensive but then I got over myself and reverted to what seven year old me would have thought! Plus now I get to buy my own tinsel and I thought this black and gold stuff was about as tasteful as I could get.

'The creative adult is the child who survived' Ursula Le Guin.
I think I understand what she means. It comes from the classical music education bubble.
Ms. Turk, not all classical music aficionados are stuck-up prudes. The garland just makes you more down to earth.

I can't explain why this interpretation is so striking. But when she hits the "chord," it sends chills through my body!
Mucho dynamics.
As a H.I.T (harpist in training 😂) this is my absolute favorite classical piece and you are someone to look up to!
I can feel the cold snow, see my breath, and smell the evergreens!
Been a guitar player for nearly 50 years. Watching Amy, I just realized, I am absolutely nothing.
If an alien came down, and wanted to hear some of our best music, I'd show him/it your videos.
YOU ASSUME AN ALIEN CAN'T BE A WOMAN?!!!!
@@blue_cameron No, women are "it's"
And the crazy thing is, no matter what race it was, they would be able to comprehend it as music, and *hopefully* even be pleased by it! Just like math, music is something universally understood I think.
SHOW ME WHAT U GOT..! XD
Who else was anxious about the harp tilting._.
Thanks for sharing this. It's amazing just how expressive an instrument the harp is, especially when played masterfully by someone like yourself.
Outstanding body stability.
Such passion!!! I love her!!! She's great 😻
@1:20 I screamed "dang! Yes girl." Thank you for making this song even if it was a while ago.
I love this fairy song, and this was its most beautiful rendition (from a fairy)! :-)
Fantastic performance!!! It reminds me of Walt Disney's FANTASIA. His masterpiece..Congratulations, Amy
I keep wondering who would dare to put a dislike to something as beautiful as this. There are ALWAYS those, who oppose all that is good and worthwhile. We are deeply touched by the beauty of this piece and the excellency of this performance and interpretation. Thank you, Amy. Our pianist daughter has just begun her harp lessons, and your art will be a mighty source of inspiration for her. Keep up the good work!
Love the way that you play it, so true and expressive, masterpiece played by a master :D
The sound quality!
Even listening to this with only the speaker of my phone is incredible!
Daaaammmnnn sissss 1:22
Perfectly controlled dynamics
Every time I watch you I see a mermaid playing the harp. Magical
I can’t stop watching this video 🥰🥰🥰 It’s sooo perfect ❤️❤️❤️
Out of all harp arrangements for this piece, this has to be my favorite for the dynamics
Tchaikovsky would love it
I use the recording of this which I purchased at Amazon as my new wake up alarm. What a wonderful way to start my days!
Lady Amy Turk, nothing better than this Song to begin being anxious about Christmas! Merry Christmas for us all! Thx so much Amy!
Thanks, this is truly X'mas music... sounds fresh as reborn...
Truly beautiful performance Amy, and a very fitting tribute to Peter Cunningham.
Thanks! He was a wonderful man.
Majestic, magic, charm in every sound. You are not from this planet.
The most elevating sensational piece I know, played by the most exquisite harpist I know of. Thankyou for a lifetime.
... What a woman. That was pretty amazing. Thx for uploadin this vid.
Anyone else have a major crush on Amy Turk? Gawd, she's just so beautiful, nerdy, and talented!
Followed hear for 12 years or so. Much enjoyed her performances
Absolutely flawless, it sounds great! Thanks for the video.
Sweet!
Your neighbors must love living next door to you.
lol, we would love it! 😂🤣
19 people need a Harp dropped on their foot, this is spectacular stuff :)
48 idiots who don't know how difficult it is to play the harp.
Kevin Martin - who cares??????
Kevin Martin oof
Make that 60, but let's save the harps and use boulders.
Now we can't tell because TH-cam won't show the dislikes so that people won't get "butt-hurt" from the "negative comments". Boo....hoo....hoo....
Grow a spine you whiny ❄️s.
Well done .. love it Thank you for posting
BEAUTIFUL, AMY!!
Awesome, as always :-) I really like this arrangement, especially the middle section - really pretty, yet dramatic at times. Loving the tinsel too! x
It behooves me as to how someone can hit the dislike button on this video. Simply enchanting. Perfectly executed. Thanks for sharing with us.
It's amazing how well this works on a harp.
This is phenomenal! I particular enjoy the sforzandos and your amazing use of dynamics and colors in the rising arpeggios at 1:20. Thanks for what you do!
i KNEW that playing it on harp will give it a more dark vibe. It's great 👏👏👏
Amazing! What a talented musician ❤️
THE SOUND........ astonishing !!!!
Amy really puts 120% of herself into her playing. I think she's the most expressive harpist I've ever seen. On a superficial note, I love her long hair. :)

4 years late and my words cannot express how cool this is to me, IT SOUNDS SO MAGICAL!!
PERFECTION. What an incredible gift. I could listen to the her play all day.
