The harp is a stringed musical instrument which has a number of individual strings running at an angle to its soundboard, which are plucked with the fingers. Harps have been known since antiquity in Asia, Africa, and Europe, dating back at least as early as 3500 BCE. The instrument had great popularity in Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, where it evolved into a wide variety of variants with new technologies, and was disseminated to Europe's colonies, finding particular popularity in Latin America. While some ancient members of the harp family died out in the Near East and South Asia, descendants of early harps are still played in Burma and in Sub-Saharan Africa, while other defunct variants in Europe and Asia have been revived by musicians in the modern era.
Harps vary globally in many ways. In terms of size, many smaller harps can be played on the lap, while larger harps are quite heavy and rest on the floor. Different harps may use strings of catgut or nylon, or of metal, or some combination. While all harps have a neck, resonator, and strings, "frame harps" have a pillar at their long end to support the strings, while "open harps", such as arch or bow harps, do not. Modern harps also vary in techniques used to extend the range and chromaticity of the strings, such as adjusting a string's note mid-performance with levers or pedals which modify the pitch.

What it's like to be a HARPIST
To all the harpists out there, this is just our daily lives!
Fact: Harp is the superior instrument
just kidding, all instruments are beautiful. This was just for fun lol😝
If anyone is wondering why my hands don't match up with the sound it is because I had to overlap my playing to make it smooth since I cut the clips a lot. My apologies!!

My own transcription of one of J.S. Bach's most infamous and popular works. I first had the idea of playing this piece in 2013 after hearing an old Russian transcription performed by the incredible Varvara Ivanova, but couldn't get hold of that version due to it being out of print. I loved the power this piece brings to the harp and was determined to try it for myself as I'm a huge fan of anything where I get to play LOUD! The process of adapting the piece for the harp and preparing for this performance took 18 months and many, many practice hours! Its first public performance was as the opening piece of my Masters final recital at the Royal Academy of Music, London in July 2014. Yes I know, how crazy was I to open my recital with this...I then had to play for a further 35 minutes!
All notes in this transcription are Bach's - there are a few moments where certain notes have been omitted where it was impossible to play, but nothing has been added or embellished in terms of pitches or rhythms. My aim in transcribing this was to be as accurate and respectful to the original as I possibly could, whilst also exploring the greater dynamic possibilities with regards to quiets, crescendos and diminuendos that are possible on the harp. I absolutely loved recreating the sound of different manuals/stops in certain repeated passages of the fugue - this is achieved by playing lower in the strings before returning back to the middle where I'd normally play.

Ein himmelblauer Spätherbstmorgen In der Stadt Die Nacht war lang Und ich bin immer noch wach Und ich sitze hier und schreib was Mal ein Bild von dir Mach die Augen zu Und seh dich vor mir Wünschte, du wärst hier Seh dich vor mir Wünschte, du wärst hier Bei mir Und ich sitze hier am Fenster Schau den Autos zu Streichle die Katzen Und denke, das wärst du Ich sitze hier am Ofen Und schaue in das Buch Versuch die Worte zu entziffern Doch es bleibt bei dem Versuch Leg mich auf mein Bett Und bin weit von hier Mach die Augen auf Und seh dich vor mir Wünschte, du wärst hier Seh dich vor mir Wünschte, du wärst hier
However, heart problems that made the tuba difficult to play and a newfound passion for harp music led him to sign up for lessons with a harpist who once played for the New York CityOrchestra.
Today's featured artist is the talented young harpist, Vien Ignacio. Interestingly, Vien began her musical journey with violin lessons, but her path took an unexpected turn when she discovered the harp by chance ... One day ... I was so happy.
A harpist recorded her version of a 2,200-year-old ancient Greek song, thought to be the oldest complete piece of music in existence ... A young harpist has performed her version of a 2,000-year-old ...
