An Experienced Wedding and Event Harpist for over 40 years, I truly understand the importance of your Special Day. I welcome Traditional, Interfaith, LGBTQ+, Renewal Ceremonies, and Last-Minute events. My repertoire includes a wide range of music, and I am always adding new titles. Covering Glens Falls, Lake George, Saratoga Springs, Capital Region, Adirondacks, and western Vermont and Massachusetts. Willing to travel elsewhere, too. Please inquire.
I'm currently booking events on my Celtic Harp. It's a smaller instrument, but has a beautiful, full sound, and can even be amplified if need be. Wide repertoire of music . . . Standards, classical, religious, pop, holidays, Disney, movies, etc.

Unchained Melody
Переглядів 405День тому
A lot of you may recognize this song - the Righteous Brothers' 1965 cover - from the 1990 film "Ghost." Mmm, Patrick Swayze. :-) But, Unchained Melody has been around since 1955, when it was composed by Alex North, with lyrics by Hy Zaret, as a theme for the prison film "Unchained."

And now for something a bit different. A bride asked me to play this song by Coldplay to accompany her down the aisle; I liked it enough to add it to my repertoire. See if you like it, too. :-)
Fields of Gold

Here's something quiet for your Friday afternoon. I was experimenting with a new camera angle. Besides the fact that you get to see my right hand for a change, it's not my favorite view. Anyway, please enjoy Sting's Fields of Gold. I arranged it for Celtic harp off a pedal harp arrangement by David Ice.

I just love playing this beautiful arrangement by Sunita Staneslow of this traditional Irish piece, "She Moved Through the Fair."
Georgia on My Mind

It's been a few days since I posted a video for you all. I was so busy at the American Harp Society, Inc. conference in Orlando, meeting lots of great harpists, attending amazing concerts, eating a giant pretzel, and gazing across the grand expanse of the hotel atrium from my surreal balcony. So, here's "Georgia On My Mind," a song written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell.

Here is the Main Title Theme from Game of Thrones. It works pretty good on the harp, don't you think? Thanks for listening!
Moon River
Переглядів 74Місяць тому
The music for Moon River was composed by Henry Mancini; the lyrics are by Johnny Mercer. Many of you may remember Audrey Hepburn so beautifully singing it in the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany's." The song has since been recorded by many other artists . . . and now I am playing it for you.
Have I Told You Lately

I love this for harp. "Have I Told You Lately" was written and recorded by Van Morrison in 1989. Many people are more familiar with Rod Stewart's 1993 version. But I prefer the original.
Perfect

Here is Ed Sheeran's "Perfect," from his 2017 album ÷. So many brides are perfect on their special day. Wouldn't you like to hear this played on harp at your cocktail hour?

Here's a sweet little song I recently learned from Avatar: The Last Airbender. This arrangement for piano is by Kenzie Smith.
Fly Me To the Moon
Переглядів 141Місяць тому
Fly Me To the Moon, originally titled "In Other Words," was written by Bart Howard in 1954. Although Frank Sinatra's 1964 version is probably the most well known, the first recording of the song was made in 1954 by Kaye Ballard. This is my own arrangement for Celtic harp. In the video, I am wearing a dress I bought at a consignment shop for $1.00! Don't you love a good find?
Ain't Misbehavin'

I agree! :-D
So moving!
Thank you!
Your videos are getting me so excited about what's possible on "only" 26 strings! ❤🤩
It's true! There really is a lot of music which can be played on 26 strings. A majority of my music was written for a larger harp or piano. Fortunately, I've only had to minimally arrange most of them to make them work on my harp
Amazing as always!
Thank you!

That was sooo good! I’m a big Van Morrison fan & play harp also. Can I ask where you found this arrangement? Thanks!
Hello Gloria. Thank you for your kind comment. This is an arrangement for piano I found on musicnotes.com. I do a lot of my own arranging, but this one was so beautiful, I am playing it almost as is.
Awesome!!🎶🎶
Nice arrangement and good job with the lever changes. I, too play this song on my Salvi Anna and the changes have to be fast. It’s a delightful song and worth the quick changes🎶😄
Thank you, Joan. I am always happy when I hear from another person who loves to play their lever harp as much as I do. ☺
