Harp Music
Share and discuss, if you wish, your favorite music composed for the harp or simply played on the harp.
I realized today that I haven't heard much harp music at MusicBanter. "How can this be?" thought I. "Isn't the harp supposed to be one of the most beautiful instruments in existence? Where is all the harp music??"
I then became curious if many contemporary, original harp songs exist. So far this composition is one of the few I've found:
Phamie Gow - "Dancing Hands"
Phamie Gow is a Scottish harpist, pianist, singer, and composer.
I also found a few videos of the harp being used to play other non-classical music, with the following being one of the more interesting since I never expected to hear someone playing a boogie song on the harp:
Adele Girard Trio - "Harp Boogie"
A "pop video" from the late '40s and intended for some sort of juke box that must have been common then but I'd never heard of before. Includes dancing woman in short skirt.
What are some of your favorite harp compositions or performances?
