Amy performing a famous arrangement of Welsh traditional tune Watching the Wheat, by John Thomas (1826-1913), a Welsh composer and harpist to Queen Victoria. This was filmed during a recording session with Mike Valentine at St John's Church, Wotten, Surrey, in the summer of 2013.

Hearing this feels like taking a time machine to a different era.
Hearing you play is only half the enjoyment. The other part is watching you play from your soul with an understanding of the music like nothing I have ever heard before.
How lucky we are to live at a time when technology and art can blend seamlessly and give us such splendid jewels for free. What a beautiful performance!
That room was MADE FOR HARP playing wow!!!!
As a long time musician I never thought that a classical harpist could reinvent this instrument in such a modern way. I'm so impressed by the rearrangements the dynamical playing and a great sense for groove. Amy you have a complete package to offer keep on going. Don't worry about the view numbers of course they should be 100 times more but youtube is a place of average and cheap taste mostly. Particularly thats why your talent is refreshing. Thank you so much.
Thanks!, :)
HEY I resemble that remark!!!
musician since 1963

Musician (piano) since 1953. I'm pretty sure he was referring to the overwhelming number of casual viewers who pass through, most of whom are ignorant about the subject on which they are commenting, as well as the far too many outright trolls.
I'm not a harp expert but love how Amy uses percussion for more dynamic volume swells than others. Incredible room acoustics no?
The production here is as excellent as the more current ones, so Ben Turk again?
Amy.. this is the most beautiful and tender piece that you do.. every time I listen and watch the creative flow of your passion in this piece it just takes me away somewhere. A beautiful wonderful place - an island of rest in this mad mad world. Peace and happiness to all you do. Thank you for sharing.
What a gift she has, Thanks to her and her people for bringing such a gift to us all...
This is by far the most individually beautiful and creative interpretation of this work on UA-cam. You don't take the voicing of the melody line for granted in the variation of the theme, whilst providing a strong yet pure flourishing accompaniment!
Thanks for your feedback.
I’ve been working on learning this piece, and I keep coming back here for encouragement. Thanks for providing such a masterful example for others to follow. 😊
😅😂

Pearly dream of infinite rays of light. Sound that spills in my ears as a cadence of the water runs of a fountain.
Wonderful.
Super!
lindo !!!
I ❤ Amy Turk
Nice !
I use to have a Harp. Use to play konji kondo's music. I'm rusty reading. Love the legend of Zelda still. Gave the harp away because I could not get to fix the pedals or get it's strings tokeep it, plus I had to travel. Still on my practice pad.
I greatly enjoy watching your videos. There is so much grace in your music and in every gest.
que mulher linda e estraordinaria. sou apoixonado por vc AMY, sempre encantando as pessoas com sua interpretaçoes magnificas. BRAVO.
VRAIMENT TRES BEAU !!
This is totally unrelated, but I love your harp, it's so beautiful, and you have really inspired me to work hard on this piece so i can play it this beautifully.
It's good to be alive here and now.
This is great. I'd love to hear you play Clair De Lune.
Clair De Lune is so touching. That and Over the Rainbow. Bring tears to my eyes.
she plays it! Its my fav of all I have heard from her but this room has better acoustics than the one she used for Clair.
At 2:40 tears of joy
I see the scene in 'Superman' when he and his Mother were in the wheat field. :-)

Magickal.
Spellbinding! You must accompany Byrn Terfel. Try listening to Bryn and Simon Keenlyside sing a duet "Ave Verum Corpus." May you go gently through life bringing such joy to all that listen.
how often do you practice? its sounds perfect
+rhcpfan84 I play every day that I can, although sometimes my workload keeps me away from the harp! On a quiet day I may practice for 3-4 hours. Thanks for listening!
3-4 hours a day is really hard work. You've got great and artistic renderings. Congrats, Amy. Love to listen to you.
Amy must one watch for certain kinds of things that can occur physically from playing the harp?
119k subscribers :) This popped up on my youtube feed and I haven't heard it before. It's very good, should have 7 figure views, but clearly I know very little about viral media publishing. Richard (Patreon supporter)
Wow! This is spectacular! A beautiful piece played with so much feeling and understanding of your instrument. Thank you for showing the world the harp is not just an instrument at the back of an orchestra it is one that fantastic solos can be played on. I could listen to you play all day and probably will! You have everything to take the classical world by storm if that's what you want to do. I wish you well!
I would like to buy the sheet music. Does any one know where I can find this for harp. It's always sheet music for piano. :(
+Luc Hendrickx Harp music is quite hard to find unless you go through the right channels! Watching the Wheat is published by Salvi - if you are in the UK you can order it online through The Harp Studio (just google them!). Hope this helps.
+Amy Turk Thanks! :)
+Luc Hendrickx - This piece is old enough to be public domain, and you download in in PDF format here (for free!): archive.org/details/bugeiliorgwenith00thom
Hi Amy- if you haven't seen this before, Brigham Young University in Utah maintains an online archive of scanned public domain harp scores (lots of Thomas, Godefroid, Bochsa, Naderman, etc.) here: archive.org/details/byuinternationalharparchive I forget how I first heard about it, but it is awesome.
That's an excellent resource, thanks for sharing!

You have found your song
Simply put, this is the music of the angels played by one of their messengers.
But angels are messengers of God, so played by messenger of messengers?

Would you ever consider playing any Undertale soundtrack? It would suit your wonderful style so well!
