I have recently added several new audio clips to my website. These samples of songs are helpful for couples planning their wedding music, as it is sometimes difficult to imagine how songs sound on the harp!
For solo harp, I’ve added three clips of Bollywood songs:
Last year, I recorded a few wedding ceremonies when I was playing as part of an ensemble with other musicians. Although the majority of my weddings are solo harp, adding other string instruments is also popular.
These are of my harp and violin duet, recorded live at an outdoor wedding ceremony:
- Canon in D
- Harvest Moon
- Jupiter
- March in D Major
- Ode to Joy
- Rondeau
- Sky Full of Stars
- St. Anthony Chorale
- Stand by Me
- Wonderwall
Adding a cello adds extra depth and warmth to the sound. These recordings are of my trio with harp, violin, and cello, also recorded live at wedding ceremonies:
- A Thousand Years from “Twilight: Breaking Dawn”
- Air from “Water Music”
- Andante from “String Quartet in A Minor”
- Blackbird
- Canon in D
- Can’t Help Falling in Love
- Concerning Hobbits from “Lord of the Rings”
- Hallelujah
- Here Comes the Sun
- How Beautiful
- Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
- Jupiter
- Minstrel Boy
- Ode to Joy
- Parting Glass
- Perfect
- Rainbow Connection from “The Muppet Movie”
- Rondeau
- Shenandoah
- Storybook Love from “The Princess Bride”
- Sunrise, Sunset from “Fiddler on the Roof”
- The Swan
- Throne Room from “Star Wars”
- Trumpet Tune
- Trumpet Voluntary
- You Raise Me Up
For something really unique and impressive, try a two-harp duet! Other options that will surprise your guests include harp and steel drums or harp and marimba.
- Joyeuse (Two-Harp Duet)
- Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring (Harp & Marimba)
- Fields of Gold (Harp & Steel Drums)
- Spiegel im Spiegel (Harp & Steel Drums)
