      Thank you very much, my dear *Whiterun Guard* and let me guess, you're going to say that... "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee!!!" Am I right? ~ JonseyG 👲💖😹 LoL #WhiterunGuards4Life

    It's saying this video was made six years ago, I have no idea why this was recommended to me today. However I just wanted to say that this is a phenomenal rendition of Ancient Stones, it's one of my favourite pieces from the Skyrim OST along with Journey's End and Secunda. I was brought to tears listening to you play. Thank you for sharing this. 💕

      One time my Oblivion game glitches out, on Xbox 360, and it completely looked like a Black Void with grey lighting like this. Look up Oblivion out of bounds black glitches on UA-cam and you'll know what I'm talking about. So your comment makes perfect sense! I think it was the Start Menu black glitch

Mon père partie l'année dernière le 07/07/2023 adorais ce jeu et plus particulièrement cette musique la dans ce jeu . Merci a travers votre harpe je revois ainsi les sourires et éclats de rire de mon père ! C'est pour moi un super hommage ! Paix a son âme 👼🕊️ merci encore quelle performance ! 🌟🙏

    I can litteraly hear the fireplace on my right, some stew boiling on top of it.
    Some ambient noises come from the window and feel the humidity due to the lake sitting close to the house I built.
    Ysolda is somewhere in the house, probably in the trophy room or in the kitchen with Maish'a and I can hear Karjo and Kader talking upstairs with the bard.
    thanks, I might have been gone for a long time, I dont know if I still have the saves but I will replay one way or anither

There's another track from Skyrim that I would like to do someday, but my list of "arrangements/videos I want to do" is so long, I don't know when I'll get to it! I'll keep in mind the request though and perhaps push it higher on the list! Thank you!

    Wow, this is incredible- I've been looking for a harp version of this song for years! Do you think your arrangement would be suitable for a lever harp?

    • @MaggieMcG84
      @MaggieMcG84  7 років тому +4

      Hello! So glad you like it! My arrangement (and the song in it's normal state) wouldn't really be playable on lever harp. It's in a 7-flat key signature, so you'd need to retune the lever harp or transpose it. There are also quite a few accidentals where the song switches back and forth between major and minor that would be a logistics nightmare with changing the levers (if even possible to do them all). You could definitely make a lever harp version, but would likely need to transpose it and leave some sections out. I have a lever harp student that wants to play my arrangement and I will need to redo much of it to make it work for her.

    • @haleymcl
      @haleymcl 7 років тому +1

      MaggieMcG Thanks! I have been working on a simplified version that does leave some parts out, but still sounds lovely. I'm sure your lever harp student won't be disappointed with what you come up with! 😊
