Reverie on Harp


I'm still loving my harp lessons and the new harp friends that I've made.  This new hobby is so fun and relaxing, and I love spending time practicing. I'm currently rehearsing music for a Christmas harp ensemble I'm performing in at the Children's Hospital in December. I'm also working on a fun competition piece for a festival next summer, and trying to polish a hymn arrangement of Be Still My Soul that hopefully I'll be able to share soon.  I also just finished writing my own arrangement of Still, Still, Still since I couldn't seem to find a harp solo arrangement of that beautiful Christmas song. 

This video below is a song called Reverie by McDonald & Wood. I learned this song last June, and forgot that I hadn't recorded it as my teacher had suggested, so I just got around to it last night.  It's been a couple months since I've played it, so it's not quite as smooth as it used to be, but it's a fun and simple piece to play.  This is also the first time I've tried recording video on my Canon 5D Mark II SLR camera.  I learned a few things, so hopefully future videos from my Mark II will be better!
