^ Hallo again, tore! Nice clip, and what an unusual voice.

This guy, as well, seems to be an obvious choice for this thread, although he hasn`t been mentioned yet :-

A belated thanks to Tore, Lisnaholic, skaltezon, Phantom, and Zaqarbal for your harp song contributions.

I especially liked "She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles because I hadn't recalled that the song includes harp. I also liked the exotic-sounding harp and Catalan vocal piece by Arianna Savall. Its lyrics seemed profound, based on what I understood of the German translation:

Today I heard and enjoyed a harp-containing piece in the soundtrack of the BBC's miniseries "North and South," which a friend recommended to me, thinking (correctly) that I'd like it:

"Northbound Train" by Martin Phipps,
from the soundtrack of the BBC's "North and South"

The placid harp made the somber yet sweet song memorable to me. I especially like the moment when the song builds in speed and energy around 1:50 as it shifts through major chords and then swells with the entry of the strings, warming toward its happy resolution

Guardian Angels (music by Harpo, lyrics by Gerda Beilenson) was sung, among others, by Mario Lanza.
