- This video represents my first year of work on the Celtic harp. All selections are taken from "52 Scottish Songs for all Harps," arranged by Sylvia Woods and are presented here with her kind permission. To order this book, see here: www.harpcenter.com/category/sy....
A number of people have asked about the titles of these pieces. They are as follows:

Ay Waukin, O
Baloo Balerie
The Birks of Aberfeldy
The Blue Bells of Scotland
The Boastie Rows
Bonnie Bell
Bonnie Dundee
Bonnie Wee Thing
Braw, Braw Lads
Buy Broom Besoms
Ca’ The Yowes to the Knowes
Charlie Is My Darling
Comin’ Thro’ the Rye
Corn Rigs Are Bonnie
Dumbarton’s Drums
Duncan Gray
Flow Gently Sweet Afton
The Flowers of the Forest
Green Grow the Rashes, O!
Hame, Hame, Hame
Hieland Laddie
Ho Ro My Nut-Brown Maiden
I Aince Lo’ed a Lass
I’ll Ay Ca’ In By Yon Toun
I do not know how to cue the titles to the video. If you happen to know and are able to do so, please feel free. If you know, but are not allowed to do so by UA-cam, please leave a comment on my website (verseandsong.com), where I shall not publish you e-mail, and I shall contact you so you can walk me through it.
If you like this music, please see the playlist of all my harp recordings, over eight hours' worth of music: • Celtic Harp: Castles o... .

So mind blowing that this was the original instrument of the highland people not first the pipes although they go back further than 500 years ago .
I had never thought of just playing through my Sylvia Woods books. The songs are simple but just so lovely. I've been putting this on in the evening. It's perfect for winding down after a long day.
More lovely old songs sensitively played. I love the portrait of the Regency lass at her instrument.
Thank you again, Mary. I recorded both the Sylvia Woods collections of Irish and Scottish music when I was first teaching myself to play the instrument. If I were to do them over today, I would probably play a number of the pieces somewhat faster, but I did what I could at the time. At any rate, none of these traditional tunes have tempo markings, and so, I think, one is free to play them at any tempo one pleases.
Wonderful interpretation of these beautiful pieces. I think you're a natural and would love to hear you perform.
I can't believe I just listened to your recording a few weeks ago, got my harp on August 18th, downloaded the Scottish book from Mrs. Woods and am already playing some of these songs! I'm ecstatic. Thank you for the inspiration!
Nice playing!
"Charlie is My Darling" was featured in the Star Trek episode "Charlie X". I was quite surprised to hear it here!

Thank you for the time stamps.
I will add, the picture for the video is:
"Portrait of a Young Woman Playing the Harp, Robert Home, early 19th century"
Wow! Thanks so much for the time stamps! You are awesome!!
Thank you so much. I've been purchasing the books you play from and it's so nice to know what the songs sound like! You are helping to keep me motivated to practice! I can't thank you enough for that! Thanks again!

Perhaps Mr Arndt could fill in the blanks.
Thank you, sir. I haven't forgotten about the request, and one of these days, I'll get around to filling in the blanks. My problem is that I am always working on new music on some instrument, and it's hard to find time to go back and revisit what I've already done. So, I really appreciate your helping hand.
@@stephenarndt1943 You're welcome. I know what it is like 'spinning plates', so to speak. Certainly the hard bit is tracking back and in this case nearly 5 years! My comment might just set up a challenge for someone else to fill the blanks.
I believe he played the songs alphabetically! So, I'm not certain but I think the missing titles are:
7:24 Baloo Baleerie
8:55 The Birks of Aberfeldy
12:10 The Boatie Rows
13:38 Bonnie Bell
17:18 Bonnie Wee Thing
20:03 Braw Braw Lads
21:17 Buy Broom Besoms
37:30 The Flowers O' the Forest
40:35 Hame Hame Hame
44:44 Hieland Laddie
46:09 Ho Ro My Nut-Brown Maiden
48:13 I Aince Lo'ed a Lass
@@stephenarndt1943 What instrument are you learning the new songs on ?
An interesting selection of tunes I have sang since childhood
The harp is one of my preferred instruments. It embodies a deep spiritual quality that is up lifting and soothing. I can write and listen to this music. I play guitar and plan to learn the harp. Richard Shaw, author of Music Education In The Schools. Audible>com
Jeg lytter til denne nesten hver dag.
Woh! what a fantastic tone you are producing already! I thoroughly enjoyed your performance and it left me teary eyed
Simply beautiful. I'd love to be able to play like that!
Thank you! I have the book and I so need this to listen to before playing it on my Celtic harp
very nice work thank you
Marvelous, listening again & again ! Heavenly, thank you ! Slainte
You play very nicely!
È il suono del sole quando sorride di noi.

Wonderful, thank you!
Esse música cura a alma 😍💕
You had me from the first few notes. The harp has a lovely tone and I'm amazed that you are an amateur. It encourages me as I would love to learn.
Beautiful brilliant harp music thank you so very much !!! Peace serenity beauty emanating from every song hope there are more marvelous selections in the future thank you
again all the best !!!
So beautiful!
Wow, this is fantastic, thank you so much for posting. I also have this book and I like how you went through each song in order, playing both the A and B parts. I am teaching myself the harp, with the help of Sylvia Wood's books. I have an older friend that is Scottish and I wanted to learn some of these to play for him, however not knowing many of the songs, I was struggling with them. It is very helpful to hear how they should be played, and to read the music as you play. I'm writing the video time mark in my book, as it plays, for future reference. It would be nice to have these time marks given in the description. You've done a wonderful job of mastering these songs. Congratulations.
Thank you~
Perfection. thanks!
love it
Very beautiful :)
If you like this music, I invite you to listen to my recent collections, "The Preservation of Fire" in two parts: ua-cam.com/video/UxEp_PwpfG4/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/fFiV5dnHVN/v-deo.html. Also, the complete playlist of all my harp recordings can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/RKsjKPGxldc/v-deo.html.

It's beautiful and you play well, but I agree, it would be nice to know the titles and composer.
Who is the painter ? Thank you so much for this heavenly music !!! All the best !!!
if you can, it might be useful for non Scottish people if you were to have the name of the tune on the screen.
Unfortunately, I never received notification of your comment and only saw it late last night. I agree, but this was one of the very first videos I put together and I didn't know at the time how to do the things you mention. At this point, I cannot add that information without deleting this video, which I prefer not to do, and uploading a new one.
@@stephenarndt1943 Would it be possible to make a list of the songs' names in the comment section, with timestamps, and then pin it so it stays on top of all the other comments?
@@rigelrae179 See my comment just posted with times and titles.
See my comment just posted with times and titles.
@@stephenarndt1943 I've made a list of those tunes I recognise.
I love your beautiful, quiet playing. Which harp do you have?
Thank you. Unfortunately, I never received notification of your comment and only saw it late last night. My harp is a Dusty Strings FH-34 in walnut.
@@stephenarndt1943 thank you! I love dusty strings as a company!
