Sound Clips – Harp & Cello Duet

Audio samples - Harp & Cello Duet

The recordings on this page were taken live at weddings and special events, which means you’ll occasionally hear the natural sounds of the celebration in the background.

We believe these live performances offer the best representation of the harp and cello duet, allowing you to hear the ensemble as it is actually experienced by guests rather than in the controlled setting of a recording studio.

Amazing Grace

This hymn is a perennial favorite for weddings, memorials, and church services. I can play it as a harp solo or to accompany vocalists, congregational singing, or other musicians.

Harp Solo

Harp & Violin Duet

Ave Maria by J.S. Bach & Gounod Charles-François Gounod added a melody to J.S. Bach’s well-known “Prelude in C” to create this setting of “Ave Maria.” While not as commonly-used as the Schubert below, it is a beautiful alternative. This piece can be played on pedal harp only. The duet version below was recorded live at a wedding ceremony. Harp & Violin duet

Ave Maria by Franz Schubert

A well-loved classical and sacred favorite, I have played this piece for dozens of Catholic weddings. While most frequently used to accompany the presentation of roses to Mary, I have also had brides request it for their processional or as a way to bring some of the Catholic heritage of one member of the couple into an otherwise non-Catholic wedding ceremony.

This piece can be played on pedal harp or lever harp.
