Irish Harp: The Fairy Queen (O'Carolan)

An ethereal tune written by the blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738).
Played on an Irish harp made by Clive Morley Harps in 1962, which I have recently restored.
Arranged and performed by Junshi Murakami in Dublin.

This is such a delight! You technique is so flawless and your phrasing so eloquent. One of the best versions of this song I have ever heard!

I love this tune & have been researching it to play on wire-strung Clarsach - thanks for posting this - beautiful!

Another example of how Japanese + Celtic usually equals a whole lot of win. Not sure how or why it is a winning equation but it always works. Gorgeous, clear and well paced performance. Thank you!

Same basis on a pentatonic scale: They both use the same musical substrate in essence

You are very good. Usually I cannot tolerate more than a few moments of harp videos, since I teach harp and hear a lot of good playing. You’re very easy to listen to. I appreciate that your ornaments never interfere with your tempo.

[@harphedgehog]

Hey thanks so much for your positive comment! Even though it’s a pretty old video, I appreciate your encouragement. Please check my resent videos if you feel like!

Beautiful music. New harps now costs big money. They are thousands in euros. I wish I have the money to buy a harp like yours.

[@drp2200]

Hope you were able to get a harp. They are enchanting.
