It's a Rosebud in June - for 2 Harps

Happy Valentine's Day!  Here's an English folk song, which dates from before 1715.  This version was arranged in 1916 by Cecil J. Sharp, and I transcribed and adapted it for 2 harps.  It makes a lush, harpy backdrop for some lovely pictures with roses.  The video runs about 2 minutes.

Revelation: Variations on Christus Resurgens - for Harp

This is a 12th-century Gregorian chant, Christus Resurgens, that I arranged for 2 harps in the form of 4 themes with variations.  Why call this "Revelation" when the original melodies were about the Resurrection?  We are in times that appear to be apocalyptic, and the world could use a resurgence of Christ's teachings.  The video runs just over 4 minutes.

Barbara Allen - for harp

Here's a traditional love song, which has a beautiful melody for harp, even though it is a sad story. The video runs about 3 minutes, and it helps to know the story or read the lyrics so the pictures will make sense:

"Barbara Allen" Lyrics

All in the merry month of May,
When green buds all are swellin'.
Sweet William on his deathbed lay for love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his servant to the town,
The place where she did dwell in.
Saying, 'Master dear has sent me here if your name be Barbara Allen.'
Then slowly, slowly she got up and slowly she went to him,
And all she said when there she came was, 'Young man, I think you're dying.
'Don't you remember the other night when we were in the tavern?
You drank a toast to the ladies there and slighted Barbara Allen.'
He turned his face unto the wall,
He turned his back upon her.
'Adieu, adieu, to all my friends.
And be kind to Barbara Allen.'
As she was wandering on the fields she heard the death bell knellin'.
And every note, it seemed to say,
'Hard-hearted Barbara Allen!'
The more it tolled the more she grieved,
She bursted out a-crying.
'Oh, pick me up and carry me home.
I fear that I am dying.'
They buried Willy in the old church yard and Barbara in the new one,
And from William's grave, there grew a rose, from Barbara's, a green briar.
They grew and grew in the old church yard,
Till they could grow no higher,
And there they tied in a true lover's knot,
The red rose and the briar.

Jesu, Joy of My Desiring - for Harp

Joyous Holidays! Here's a harp arrangement of one of my favorites. Once again, I have taken the liberty of changing a word in the title. While "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" is the popular English name, the original hymn's title from 1661 was "Jesu, Meiner Seelen Wonne," which translates to "Jesus, Bliss of My Soul." This arrangement is of J.S. Bach's chorale setting from a cantata written in 1723, and it runs about 3 minutes.

Doxology - for Harp

The Doxology is part of the soundtrack of my youth.  We sang it absolutely every week.  In choir, since we all knew it so well, we would get creative and break into crazy-mega-harmony at the end.  That was a musical education.  The melody is called "Old 100th" and it was written by Loys Bourgeois in the 1500s.  The video runs about 3 minutes.

Once to Every Person and Nation - for Harp and Chamber Ensemble

 I admit, I brazenly changed a word in the title of this song: "Man" to "Person."  This old Welsh melody has been my all-time favorite hymn since I was a teen - minor key, low, grinding march-type tune.  The first 2 lines are "Once to every man and nation, Comes the moment to decide." I think it is particularly appropriate in our time. It's about 2 and a half minutes long.

Be Thou My Vision - for Harp

This video is in honor of Ukraine, and also for my friends Ruth & Kermit Hugo, who could use some peace and inspiration right now.  I think we could all use some of that.  The melody is a well-known hymn, Be Thou My Vision, which has an Irish folk melody as its haunting and stately basis.  It's just over 2 minutes long.

The Banks of the Sweet Primroses - for Harp

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's a little traditional English tune I arranged for harp. The images with it are vintage Valentines, mostly by one of my favorite illustrators: Kate Greenaway. It's about a minute and a half of music-boxy harpy sweetness. (And just so you know, the lyrics of this folk song give a very real-world-and-less-idyllic depiction of romance.)

Coventry Carol for Harp & Ukulele

This haunting lullaby was part of the nativity plays performed in Coventry, England by the city's guilds for centuries.  The melody goes at least back to 1591 when it was written down with the words to be sung by three mothers of Bethlehem.  Arranged for ukulele and harp by my friend, Mary Roman and myself, this is about 2 minutes of lutey-harpy poignant lullaby.

A Mighty Fortress - for Harp

This hymn was a kind of theme song from childhood for me and my brother in the 1960s.  It was featured in a children's clay-animated tv show produced by the Lutheran Church: Davey and Goliath.  One of my favorite hymns that we sang in the Methodist church, A Mighty Fortress was written by Martin Luther and later harmonized by J.S. Bach.  With that in mind, it was a pleasure to arrange it for harp - the video runs about 3 minutes.

Bach's Toccata in D Minor - for Harp

Great American Barn Quilts

Here's a video I made of photos of barn quilts - those great works of art that people mount on their barns. The Pennsylvania Dutch used to call them "hex signs." The photography was done by my friend, Kermit Hugo, and I arranged a traditional tune for solo harp, to go with it. The melody is called "Prospect," and it is a popular hymn also, called "The Lone, Wild Bird." This video runs about two and a half minutes.

English Dance - for Harp

 
In honor of May Day, here's a little video with harp music.  It's called "English Dance," and it's a traditional tune I arranged for harp.  About a minute of month-of-May dancing and festing.

Ode to Joy for Harp Ensemble

Play Ode to Joy video.

 

To celebrate all things Spring, here's a harp ensemble version of Beethoven's Ode to Joy from his 9th Symphony.  I arranged it from Franz Liszt's transcription for 2 pianos, and both of those guys were total geniuses.  The best way to fully experience this video is with a headset for the music and a full-sized screen for the art.  It's a wild, harpy ride through the glories of nature - just over 13 minutes long.
