I wanted to bring you an updated version of this piece, for a few reasons. Firstly, you wanted more Bach! Secondly, we felt we could record a better performance of this now than in 2012 when the original video was posted. Thirdly, while we were visiting Hindhead Music Centre to shoot the Air video, I was reminded of learning this piece with my first teacher, quite possibly in this room, where I had my lessons when the concert hall featured in Air wasn't available. For many years this part of the house was private to all but my teacher's harp pupils and so it has a wonderful secrecy to it that I always enjoyed. In later years when I became a teacher at HMC I sometimes gave lessons in this room and somehow that always seemed very special to me, like I was letting my kid pupils in on a secret that only harpists were allowed to know! I actually took a photo of the sign I put up on the front door the first time I had to teach there just saying "Amy is teaching in the drawing room today!" It sounds so dumb but I was really excited about it. It was like passing on my heritage.
What can I say about this piece. It's just a masterful show of a journey through harmony. I love that the repetition of rhythm/shape throughout not only gives the modulations a chance to be the star, but the simplicity of the piece also gives each performer a chance to put their mark on it. No two performers will play this piece the same, as there's so much scope to just... enjoy it and let your "youness" seep into the music. Someone could make a very interesting study of analysing a bunch of musicians playing this. I'd love to hear the results.
Hindhead Music Centre is a music tuition centre in Surrey, UK. I studied there for 11 years with Ann Hughes-Chamberlain, who founded the school. It is a magical and special place and I highly recommend their summer schools even if you're not local...!

Ann Hughes-Chamberlain for letting us film at HMC, and for a lifetime of being inspiring and believing in me.

UA-cam has recommended this song on the cello, double bass, now this. I like this new, rebellious youtube.
@@danielreglado3686 I play the double bass too, but you're right, nothing can beat the range and resonance of the harp.
Bass?
You can thank the algorithm for that.
Bach would have approved
I've thought the same
More than likely, he would have tears in his eyes. 💖
This performance is a jewel that I'll enjoy listening to many times - like Amy's Toccata. Things I like: She plays it allegro yet plays so beautifully that it feels un-rushed.
The sound of the track itself (The harp has a wonderful resonating sound). The focus of her playing (no wincing or eyes-closed-drama yet an emotional connection every second). Her virtuoso black dress. Like she's the Ambassador of the Harp. The opening image of Hindhead and the background in the room. Every second is captivating. My favorite part is 1:50 onwards - brilliant musical interpretation.
Every now and then I come back to listen to this piece , like how a wanderer will come back and touch home base .
Love it! I play that on piano almost daily, and don't ever get tired of hearing it. The harp rendition is splendid (even more than a harpsichord). Thank you!
I have played this since I was 8 or 9 years old and it is never, ever boring! Thanks for watching.
i play it on piano almost daily as well! i adore this song and it makes me cry sometimes.
Miracle...
ever notice how bach pieces like these are playable at different tempos, and the whole mood shifts? ! as for amy's rendition --- LOSIN' IT!!!
Nice to wake up to.
Greetings from Brazil. I love your work. Keep playing Bach, please.
Melhor canal voltado pra arpa.
E a tocadora de harpa mais gata
You stole my heart from the very second you began playing, then once again after seeing you perform a few Bach
I purposely just click on Amy's harp playing, so I don't get none of those other players. There's just something about her that makes her just one of us. I so enjoy her music and her presentation is one of a kind.
She is wonderful with her harp, absolutely mesmerizing
So beautiful. You must put a lot of hard work into your pieces. Brava brava!
Beautiful Amy! What a lovely setting and what a sweet story about the secret harp room. That must be such a wonderful memory for you. How very special.
You bring peace to my soul!
Really enjoying your performances. I would love to see a video explaining the harp construction, tuning, pedal function, etc.
Great control of tempo! You cast a bit of a spell with this.
That was an awesome rendition, thanks correspond sharing it! It was a perfect way to end such a tiring day =)
Yes. And not hint of harshness I sometimes hear in other recordings, even on the harp. Perfect tempo in a great recording environment.
Thank you, Amy. This is one of my all time favorite Bach pieces. Perfect tempo.
Now, all you have to do is make one of your duets with the Gounod Ave Maria!
I also enjoyed your comments about your experiences as a teacher of harp. With your passion for the music, I'm sure your students were inspired to continue their studies.
Oui c'est un magnifique bijou.
Absolutely Beautiful, I can say nothing more. Thank you for this wonderful performance.
Absolutely fantastic
本当に美しい。
I like your Bach interpretations. I hope you do more of these, now and again. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite pieces and the harp rendition is such a splendid way of showcasing it. Thank you Amy!
Your inspiring me to get a harp!
J. S. Bach one of the greatest composers that ever lived! Amy you do a wonderful job of skillfully playing his Prelude No. 1 in C Major. I like C Mayor! A very nice key indeed! Since you are located in England I can say cheerio! I decided to subscribe to your channel as I enjoy harp music very much. I understand harps are tuned to 442 and harpists use piano music when sight reading. Greetings from sunny Florida USA😀❤☝🎼🎵🎶
Sempre divina , il top dell'arpa
I was just quietly mellowing out to this when I realised that it answered my question - "So THAT's what the music from Block Heads is!" [game]
My wife came down the aisle to this. Never thought I'd hear it on a harp though. Amazing
Superbe performance. Merci.
Just beautiful! Perfect tempo.
No words !!
beautiful good job. i like your final fantasy continue theme the best.
Wonderful Amy
Your Bach transcriptions are excellent.
I'm waiting for the next one !!!
Excellent.
Beautiful!
You are such an inspiration. Thank you so much.
Omg you wanna make me play again 😍 as a child I played harpe for 4 years. Such a beautiful instrument. You play wonderful and fully emotions ❤❤❤
OMG anything Bach by you is just pure magic... ❤️
Arriving to heaven must be hearing something like that... Played by angels
emotional piece. wonderful.
Music of all angels
Right tempo, beautiful!
This is just intoxicating. Wonderful!
The harp is definitely the best tool for this job.
I just want to say thank you. i like very much wen you play Bach.
I'm preparing this for Grade 4 and even though Betty Paret's arrangement doesn't explicitly arpeggiate the final chord, I've been doing it anyway...and... I'm just glad to find that decision backed up here XD
I guess this happens a lot with harp. Drawing squiggly lines on all the chords would make the printers run out of ink!
This music is very restoring. Thank you.
Definitely I have to Subscribe. to keep enjoying your playing. again Thank you, you impregnate the music with the beautiful essence of your Spirit and Soul
Absolutely beautiful! Bravo!I'm not too familiar with this,but I love it!I learned a piece like this many years ago by Corelli on guitar.Very similar, but this once again lends itself to harp!I have spread the word about you,hope you get some more fans.You are stunningly beautiful, on the harp,and a beautiful woman!!Thank you for sharing your excellent talent for the world to see.
OMG More Bach....
You are awesome.
Bach is awesome.
AND
You are awesome.
Pulling my heart strings. This is really nice.
Absolutely lovely, Amy... and perfectly played. 💖
I likewise learned this, but on piano, at age eight, and have played and performed it so many hundreds of times over the decades that it is forever at the front of my mind and at my fingertips. But it is a Special treat and honor when I get to play it on a Steinway concert grand which, sadly, happens only rarely.
I did not get to hear your earlier recording of this, but this one is just beautiful, and you and Ben should be very proud of this recording.
Na kaleka aloha mai Hawai'i... 🌴🌈
very well done,melody of life ❤️
Gorgeous music.
Your classical pieces and Zelda covers are very beautiful Amy, enjoying them a lot here and on Spotify. Bravo!
Angels dancing on the harp .... now I know they could really be.
Superbe. Merci Amy. Amitié.
Sublime! I would love to play it on my harp: after watching many performances of talented youtubers like you I decided to rent a harp. Now I'm learning and it's one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. You are a real source of inspiration. Thank you Amy! 🌈🎶🎵🎶🎵
Yaaaaay welcome and happy harping!
Beautiful music.. I'm having goosebumps all over..
Girls who named Amy know how to play harp~~
Thanks for the beautiful music!
Such a beautiful piece, such a beautiful woman... How can paradise expect to compete?
outstanding execution
I love this so much
perfect , simply perfect
Lovely as always
I think this is my favourite piece from Bach, its so beautiful. I listen to it on different instruments and different genres , I love it so much
Heavenly
Lovely flowing movements! What a pleasure to watch and listen to!
Beautiful xx
Amy, J ❤ you.
Wow .....completely Soothed my soul x
Redonkulously beautiful rendition!
magnificent
Everyone should read the description it's really interesting.
lovely n beautiful
R.I.P JS Bach Thank You Bach😭
beautiful Amy. I learned this on piano age 8. I have to try it on my harp now, you have just reminded me what a sublime piece this is.
Heart-breakingly beautiful!
Excellent. I enjoyed your 'youness' expressed through the piece. A common piece of Bach that never gets old imo. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful
I love the way it flows. Nice phrasing also. Excellent work!
Thank you for making an old favorite new again. Your personal story makes it even more heartwarming.
Seriously, please put your recordings up for paid download! Even $5 per track is a steal for this artistry. My wife and I are expecting a baby Christmas Day. I would love to have high-quality recordings so I can play them as a lullaby for our newborn. Except that Gwyn piece, which is terrifying.
Agreed about Gwyn, but that's kind of that music's purpose! I really love how unsettling it is but I put it down to my teenage goth years, which are still bubbling under somewhere within. Really sad music like that has always spoken to me.
YES, this track will be available to buy. DEFINITELY before Christmas. When it is the link will be in the video description. And good luck with the babe!
beautiful
This was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I can't get past how big that harp is! :) It's like a piano.
Brilliant. I miss seeing your pedal work.
Love
Very nice! I'm going to have to ramp up my interpretation of this. I play it too slowly, i just found out!!! 🎶🎵🎵🎶
@@mikesoule1352 play it however it feels right to you! Some people play it much faster than me, and I love that for them. This speed is just what I like.
Beautiful !!!!! Regards from México !!!
finally a new video - keep it up, you are gorgeous
Perfect
I love your music!
Bravissimo! Wow
Beautiful piece Amy. :)
Stupenda!
OMG. perfection!
This is incredibly beautiful, well done!
