Beautiful playing by a beautiful musician. The harp and harpist add another dimension to these traditional Christmas songs. A wonderful way to celebrate the season.
It's still so incredible that even after all these centuries of technology and inventions the most beautiful instrument on earth is still the heavenly harp. 😊
If you’re looking to calm your nerves, harp music might do the trick. A University of Arizona study explored the healing powers of music and showed that patients are most eased by the harp.
After reading some of the comments. I'm glad it's 3 hrs long (I don't have to keep rewinding). I can put it on big screen when we have company and set it low for back ground music like have the viewers at a real concert. This is so perfect and it's not just a rolling fireplace screen, it's 3 hrs of many songs (not repeats unless I let it play). Great job
Thanks Connie 😁 I enjoy the little crackling of the fire that's included! 🔥 And I think it's going to be so lovely to have on a screen. Often I just want the instrumental part of it, but I feel like to video gives that warm and inviting concert feel - like you have your own personal harp player in your living room for Christmas! 😅😄 xx Nicole, LTH Team Member
Love the playlist! And also a fan that it is a long playlist. I put this on while cleaning or studying my Bible. Makes great background music for Bible study time!
Many thanks for Blessing me with such Beautiful Harp music....Yust as Beautiful you are.... What a great Wonderful Blessing I pray Blessings over your life Shalom
Sending lots of love to you from South Africa! The Lord is so present with you today. I pray that you will feel His presence as He is your father and loves you so much ❤️❤️❤️
This is perfect for unwrapping presents, fixing Christmas meals, and playing with new toys at my house with my fam of 4 and 2 kids! Very sweet, calming, and grounding for someone like me who’s healing from past trauma❤️
This is joy not just to the ears but the soul. Will have this running when we decorate. Thank you Christy Lyn. Will also play some carols learned from your courses.
Absolutely beautiful- this helped fill my empty-feeling Christmas day and I'm continuing to enjoy it. Your rendition of O Holy Night is Divine...thank you and Bless you :)
Absolutey beautiful and so festive, yet relaxing and peaceful. Thank you very much for sharing your lovely talent with us! It is so appreciated! I will listen to this every year during Christmas/winter season.
Absolutely breathtaking! How did you play with such perfection in one take?! Incredible talent! One of my cats was about to have a meltdown (he literally has a split personality disorder where if he's triggered he goes feral for days... it's horrific) and I'm playing this and it's soothing him. He's normally my sweet, derpy baby, but he's been through a lot of trauma (abandoned multiple times), and we have a whole protocol for keeping him sane. Adding this to his RUclips emergency playlist! Thank you ❤
Awww your poor kitty!! I’m glad the music is soothing for him ❤️❤️ If you have a careful look you can see a fade between each song - I didn’t do it in one take 😄 But I’m glad you like it! 💕
WOW 🤩 THIS IS SOOOOOOOO AMAAAAAAAZZZZINNGGGGGG😱😱😱😱 THE BEST HARP CHRISTMAS MUSIC ever!!!!! Saved on my playlists to be played throughout the years…. ❤❤❤❤ (Even when it’s not the Christmas season!)😊😍🥰
Yay! I love listening to you play. I am glad you did a very long video composed of Christmas songs. Will definitely play this everyday starting today ☺️
Thank you for posting this beautiful Christmas music. I'm going to listen to it every year and share it with others. Amazing talent and beautiful decor. So grateful!
This Is Soooo BEAUTIFUL and Relaxing!!! I Believe We Will Play This Many Times in the Next couple of Months!! It’s like Playing a Music Box!!! Thank You for Sharing ❤
Oh this is lovely. Thank you. I'm a classical pianist/harpsichordist and opera singer. I always love harp music. Beautifully played and lovely holiday ambience. Seasons Greetings.
@@LearningtheHarp Thanks for asking. Indeed, I adore harp and studied a little in my university years. I own and run an artist development firm/conservatory coaching musicians and actors and also record and perform as classical and jazz pianist .. So that keeps me pretty busy. Also as you know the best classical pedal harps are expensive and though sure I could rent or learn on a smaller harp, I will need to wait for my schedule to relax considerably. But not complaining. I love my coaching work and own my own business. I esp love the French rep for harp. Ravel's Introduction and Allegro is my fav. I already teach a plethora of instruments: all keyboard, violin, viola, mandolin and of course voice. Thanks enjoyable watching you.
This is absolutely wonderful THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS MUSIC. I love the decor and you are wonderful in your playing. This is a wonderful gift you have given to each one of us who are part of Learning the harp and for anyone else who is not one of your "students". Thank you again Christy-Lyn for all your time and effort to put this up for us. (P.S. I love how you hid the music so we could not see you using the sheet music You must have really good eyesight lol 😂 )... It will be one of my favorite to play for the Christmas season.
Thank you so much Ruth - it's such a pleasure! We're so excited to be able to share something like this for the harp community and the world to enjoy 😁🤗. Haha, and I know the sheet music was sneaky! Wishing you a wonderful festive season 🥰 xx Nicole, LTH Team Member
So Beautiful, I’ll have this in the big screen when the tree is going up and definitely have my harp by the fire place. It’s so nice to hear the NEW release “Mary Did You Know”. I believe I will be able to join you in 4 of those songs. If I can’t keep up I’ll fake it. Thank You for such a sincere and spiritual Christmas video.
We specially planned this video hoping that it would be nice to play in the background on the big screen, so that’s great that you’re imagining that too! ☺️💕
Ah thanks Ginger 🥰 Excited for Miriam to see it 😁. I think it's going to be super cool as a harp player to be able to play epic Christmas harp music in the background during the festive season. xx Nicole, LTH Team Member
Wow!!! This is a treat!!!! What an incredible Christmas special!!! Only because of the pure and dear heart put into the playing of this in person, not just on a studio recording!!! I've truly enjoyed this from my heart more than any other Christmas music out there!!!! Many thanks to you!! And yes lol I've actually wondered about learning the Harp at some point!!!!!
thank you so much ! it's beautiful I couldn't touch my harp for months because of an elbow injury so it's wonderful to be able to listen to you play christmas music
Thank you for the beautiful concert! It makes me excited for Christmas! Thank you for your courses and how you teach; it's a different way than what I've ever had before (lessons in person), but I'm enjoying the pace I can choose myself! Thank you for your enthusiasm and cheerfulness! You brighten my day when I watch you! Blessings to you.
Thank you Christy-Lyn for this splendid christmas harp music!! - This will be our decorating and aperitive music at christmas, YEAH. Of course I do have to play some chritmas carols, too.😉
Wauw, what a gift is this!!! We will also put you on our tv screen while decorating our house😊 But.....I also hope that I will feel well enough to play some chrstmas carols myself on my harp. Grateful to be part of your wonderful harp community!
That's so fun! I hope you'll feel well enough too - it's so much fun and such a delight to get to play beautiful Christmas music on harp 🤩. xx Nicole, LTH Team Member
This is the best channel! I hope you do tutorial videos on the Lyre harp if you know that. And Nicole the lady helping you with the comments sounds so helpful too, good team!
Hi! So glad you’re enjoying the videos 🥰 Unfortunately I don’t have a lyre harp and don’t know much about it, but I hope you have fun with it!! 🥳 And if you decide to get a lever harp, you know where to get help 😃🙌🏻
So beautiful! I love the festive scenery and lovely harp music (and wondering at the amazing video magic that hid your music stand!). You look amazing! Have a wonderful Holiday Season and Merry Christmas! 🎄
Three hour concert. This is incredible. Amazed how you can perform for that long. Brava! It’s so well played, lovely and great decoration and sparkle filter. Thank you for this wonderful mood setter🌲 🧑🎄 🎄 🎁
Thanks Kristina, so glad this video brought you some special moments 😄 I actually only performed half an hour of songs, and then we repeated them so that it’s a nice long video for people to play in the background while decorating or opening presents or entertaining. Yay! 🥳🎄✨
O Come Emmanuel is such a classic too! Will you share a video once you've learnt it? Excited for you to enjoy playing this song at Christmas. 😁 xx Nicole, LTH Team Member
Just wanted to thank you again for this video! You shared it on a day that was very stressful for me and it brought so much peace! Since then, I’ve put it on often, even if just for a few mins, and I just really enjoy it! The music selections and your interpretation are so lovely, and the setting and fireplace crackling make it so cozy and atmospheric!
Thanks so much, as it is so wonderful to have playing in the background. I have also been playing a lot of these songs at the care centers, library, and hospital recently, so it's fun to hear your lovely versions. So, I have a question...did you have all of this music memorized?
Hi Charlotte! That’s so sweet that you’ve been playing Christmas harp music in so many places, what a gift to the people around you! No I didn’t have the music memorized, I was looking at sheet music, you just can’t see it 👀 The music stand didn’t look nice in the shot, so we set things up so we could edit it out. Also the fire was filmed in a different shot because it was too hot here in summer! So it’s quite a lot of sneaking video editing here! 😅
Yes some of them are from her book, others by Sunita Staneslow, and some arranged by me :) I listed the details in the description box of which song is from which book etc 🤗💕 Have fun dreaming for next year, that’s awesome! 😄
I just found this, Christy-Lyn. Absolutely superb playing! It looks like you are reading the sheet music from the iPad or computer from which you’re recording the video? I don’t see any sheet music in front of you. I can’t imagine playing all this music purely from memory, and you are flawless! I just can’t say enough about the brilliant quality of your harp playing! What an inspiration! And such a beautiful pedal harp! Someday maybe I will get a pedal harp. Yours is gorgeous and sounds divine. Thank you for this video! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the sweet comments, Linda 💕 Yes, I was reading the sheet music from a screen, which we cropped out of the video using editing tricks to make the video look nicer 😄
Yes when I had the sheet music on a music stand it didn’t look nice, so we made it bigger on a screen, and put it further away so we could edit it out in post production 😅
I think the harp Christy-Lyn is playing in this video is a Lyon & Healy Style 2000. While it's not cheap, it's not one of the more expensive pedal harps. It looks golden in this video due to the lighting, I think, but actual gilded harps cost at least three times as much as the Style 2000.
Hi there! I was playing that from the Sylvia Woods book, the link is in the description box. I’m not sure if I played it exactly the same as she wrote it, but that’s where I was playing from 😊👍🏻 Good book, worth getting.
Now I've seen a lot of your videos, finally I'm starting my Harp Journey. 😊 Right from the first pluck I knew it was so much worth it to begin. I appreciate your videos. ❤️ Thank you so much. I have a request : I'm struggeling with my left hand how to keep it in the right position. Could You please make a video with the camera on your right side, in which angle do you pluck the strings? Because it helped so much with the right hand to see it. ❤️Thank you, and have a nice day!!
So exciting that you’re learning harp now! Co gears for getting your harp!! Try my video called “What you never get to see - harpist’s views”. It’s closer to the angle that you actually see when playing the harp 😃👍🏻
@@LearningtheHarp Oh thank you for answerig so fast.🥰 I actually didn't see that one so far. Thank you!! I think I've got it now. Anyway, it sounds good now. 😁 It frustrated me because my left thumb is not as wide open as my right 👍🏼😅 But I think maybe because my left hand is playing lower.. Is it normal? It is so funny, every time I see a harp lesson from you I must try it. Even I went to bed already. 😅
Yes it can be played on lever harp 😃 So glad you like it. It’s my arrangement, available as a PDF download at www.learningtheharp.com/shop/o-holy-night-sheet-music/
Very soothing. I can see why Saul's soul was soothed when David played his harp before him.
Very astute commentary!!!
Christmas Blessings to you.

This is the most peaceful and enjoyable Christmas music. Thank you for blessing us.
This is WONDERFUL !
God Bless Us Everyone !
Truly beautiful - peaceful and heartfelt playing of an exquisite instrument.... thank you for your talent and sharing it
That you sat for more than three hours to record this is commendable. Thanks for the great spiritually uplifting music. Merry Christmas and God bless.
The video is looped to 3 hours. She actually only played for 37 minutes.
Beautiful music, Beautiful lady, Beautiful instrument God bless
Made my Christmas night so peaceful! ❤

Christmas music on a harp. How much better can it get.
Home alone, but I have your music. Thank & bless you with all my love in Christ.
Sending lots of love to you from South Africa! The Lord is so present with you today. I pray that you will feel His presence as He is your father and loves you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your response of love and caring. Noel
Such a beautiful setting, can't imagine something more appropriate to create mood and Christmas spirit. Music sounds divine !!
Am I the only one who thinks that harp is super huge!? But she makes playing it look flawlessly easy?
This is perfect for unwrapping presents, fixing Christmas meals, and playing with new toys at my house with my fam of 4 and 2 kids! Very sweet, calming, and grounding for someone like me who’s healing from past trauma❤️
Lovely as always, thank you 😊 wishing you happy holidays from the Netherlands ☃️🌲
You are an amazing talent. Thank you for spreading Christmas cheer, for all to hear. Have a great holiday. Anthony and Family
We had this on in the background while we opened presents today. Thank you so much!

Hello 👋🏻 I’m so mesmerized by your music!!!!’ 💘 how long did you study to learn how to play the harp❤️??!!!
Three hour concert. This is incredible. Amazed how you can perform for that long. Brava! It’s so well played, lovely and great decoration and sparkle filter. Thank you for this wonderful mood setter🌲 🧑🎄 🎄 🎁

Magical, thanks!
BRAVO
This is so beautiful Christy-Lyn. I’m so curious about how you’re reading your music. It is so far away so I’m thinking on a tv screen?
I used some clever video editing to cut out the screen showing my sheet music 😊👍🏻
Loving this! Thank you!!!
All of these Christmas songs are so lovely…. My very favorite is O Come Emmanuel and am working on this video course now for Christmas!
O Come Emmanuel is such a classic too! Will you share a video once you've learnt it? Excited for you to enjoy playing this song at Christmas. 😁 xx Nicole, LTH Team Member

I see you got the same reply from Leaning_Harp. Not sure if it's legit?
@@TKouma no, that’s too bad! It doesn’t seem like it would be legitimate… but using Christy Lyn’s photo… I hope she can report it if it’s spam.

@@LearningtheHarp thanks for the encouragement! Hey, with all of your great tech people, edit all you want!
Beautiful setting and music. Are these arrangements in Sylvia Woods Christmas book? I hope by this time next year I will be able yo play these songs.
Yes some of them are from her book, others by Sunita Staneslow, and some arranged by me :) I listed the details in the description box of which song is from which book etc 🤗💕 Have fun dreaming for next year, that’s awesome! 😄
Does this has copy right? I would like to download it to my phone and play it anytime, regardless of internet availability! 💖💖💖

@@LearningtheHarp You are welcome and deserving of the praise, Christy-Lyn! Now I understand what you seem to be looking at! 😆
Where are you reading the music, on a teleprompter?
Yes when I had the sheet music on a music stand it didn’t look nice, so we made it bigger on a screen, and put it further away so we could edit it out in post production 😅
This is awesome.. can u tell how could u afford this golden professional harp which is too too costly actually
I think the harp Christy-Lyn is playing in this video is a Lyon & Healy Style 2000. While it's not cheap, it's not one of the more expensive pedal harps. It looks golden in this video due to the lighting, I think, but actual gilded harps cost at least three times as much as the Style 2000.
I am trying to find your arrangement of Jingle Bells? or is that another arrangement from another harpist?
Hi there! I was playing that from the Sylvia Woods book, the link is in the description box. I’m not sure if I played it exactly the same as she wrote it, but that’s where I was playing from 😊👍🏻 Good book, worth getting.

Oh thank you for answerig so fast.🥰
I actually didn't see that one so far. Thank you!! I think I've got it now. Anyway, it sounds good now. 😁
It frustrated me because my left thumb is not as wide open as my right 👍🏼😅
But I think maybe because my left hand is playing lower..
Is it normal?
It is so funny, every time I see a harp lesson from you I must try it. Even I went to bed already. 😅
Lindo!!!
I loved O Holy Night! Can it be played on lever harp? Which book is it in? Thanks!
Yes it can be played on lever harp 😃 So glad you like it. It’s my arrangement, available as a PDF download at www.learningtheharp.com/shop/o-holy-night-sheet-music/
@@LearningtheHarp Thank you so much. I'm so excited! I searched your site before and missed it somehow. Thank you for the link.
Thank you so much. Hope the fire was edited in or you created this some 4 months ago as it was pretty hot these past few days. best regards. Kobus
Haha yes it’s been hot!! The fire is real but we recorded it separately and spliced it together with editing afterwards 🥵😅
