More and more these days, Google Alerts drops a video gift into my inbox of someone performing one of my pieces. Today I was floored by an arrangement of my “New Blues” the likes of which I have NEVER seen before — and I’ll wager you haven’t either. I spontaneously clapped out loud at the end, here alone in my studio!
I spontaneously clapped out loud - all alone in my studio! Click To TweetI can’t even tell you for sure whether this is 5 women playing one big instrument – or 5 individual instruments playing one piece, but their sense of ensemble, fun, musicality and physicality with this is really wonderful. Brava to each and every one of them – and to A.Eglite for this fabulous arrangement!
Please watch and then go to YouTube and use the comments to tell them how much you enjoyed it – and if you play the harp, scroll down for info on where to learn more Blues — and where to get the harp arrangement this is based on.
To play this piece on harp (lever harp or pedal harp) download it at my store
Then post your version of my “New Blues” on YouTube – on whatever instrument you play – and blow me away! I can’t wait to see it.
These gals got rhythm alright! I love how their bodies move fluidly, spontaneously, independently absolutely in synch with the music. Hurray! Thanks again.
Wow, i was so excited to see this, as i was introduced to this beautiful instrument by a young lady in my community from Latvia. It is a traditional Latvian instrument, she had heard i played the harp, introduce herself and we have played together a few times. It was very exciting for both of us, and we hope to play together in the future, maybe i will film us and send it to you. Anyway just loving this blues harp style course.
All my love,
