With fewer performances the first couple of months of the year, I have extra time to devote to learning new music. This year, I’ve added lots of new pieces to my repertoire! The list below include the updates for my classical & popular lists. If you don’t see your favorite pieces listed here, check the […]
Top Wedding Ceremony Music of 2012
As I did last year, I reviewed the music from all of the weddings I provided harp music for throughout 2012 (see the list from 2011). Again, “Canon in D” is a top choice. Last year, it was the most-requested piece for both the bridal processional and the wedding party processional. This year, it not only topped […]
Non-Traditional Wedding Music on the Harp
Weddings may be traditional, but your music doesn’t have to be! Although many of my brides choose the wedding standards (Here Comes the Bride, Canon in D, Wedding March, etc.), more and more couples are choosing to personalize their ceremony with music selections that are meaningful to them. My repertoire is constantly expanding to include new […]
Music from the Royal Wedding
Yes, I got up at 4:00 am to watch Prince William and Kate get married! I had seen the ceremony program a couple of days before, and was especially excited to hear the music they had selected. They stayed away from the most traditional wedding pieces, but kept the music classical or sacred, and appropriate for […]
New Popular Music for Harp
My repertoire list is constantly growing, both with pieces that I like and want to learn and with client requests. Before the wedding season really gets going, I like to add a few popular pieces to my play lists. Some of these are not necessarily wedding music, but the latest additions are: A Thousand Miles; […]
New Harp Demo Recording ~ Springfield, IL
Every few years, I update and add new clips of my harp playing to my website. I decided to record my latest demo at DRC Studios in Springfield, Illinois. There were a few times I thought the harp and I might not make it down the winding stairs and into the low-ceilinged studio in one […]
Music of the 1960’s on the Harp
With a request that came in this week for a wedding that focused on music of the 60’s, I went through some of my books and have added some new pieces to my repertoire. Sylvia Woods has relatively new book of harp arrangements from this decade, and they provide a starting point for me to […]

Modern Music on the Harp
One of the things I enjoy most about the harp is surprising my audiences with the repertoire that can be played on the instrument. Recently, The Harp Column, a national magazine for harpists, published an article on modernizing our performance repertoire. I was interviewed for the article about the music I have adapted for the […]

After my recital was over, I started working on some “fun” music to have ready for the weddings and events that prefer a more contemporary sound. I love playing things that are unexpected on the harp! Some recent additions to my repertoire include: Clocks, as performed by Coldplay Come Sail Away, as performed by Styx […]
