The Water is Wide - Harp Guitar Orchestra

- Stephen Bennett and I lead a virtual harp guitar orchestra in an inspiring "The Water is Wide." The Harp Guitar Gathering meets each year, and when we weren't able to meet in person, I put together this version of "The Water Is Wide" we always play together at the end of the Gathering.
These are not musical instruments, they are works of art. Beautiful to look at and listen to.
The water, being wide, connects us
Love your music and your Harp-Guitars. Thank you, you brought tears. I am 83 years of age and a Church organist for the past 51 years.
My wife just gave her permission for me to order one lol! I love my wife!! What a neat instrument. Can't wait to try it on for size. This piece they are doing sold me. Just gorgeous.
Yay, another convert! Welcome to the fold. Please send me an email with your state/country to muriel (at) murielanderson.com Also, if you decide you want attachable super-trebles I have two sets left. Please give your wife another hug.
Where did you order it from? You are a lucky man. My wife hates music. That is why I try to get off to myself to play guitar. Thank you for replying to my post.
Sweet, soft & mellow is where I am at this point in my life. I loved this video. Thank you !
I began in music in 1958, piano & then guitar in 1962. I was at Kent State on May 4th, 1970 & being out in the middle of that massacre changed me. I stayed with guitar for a long time, before going back to keyboards too. A near fatal car accident left me with a lot of broken pieces of me, my back, neck, rt. shoulder & clavicle & my sternum. I nearly lost my left thumb. By 2001, I had to stop playing guitar, my hands got too bad. I did keep playing my keyboard & nearly 2 yrs. ago, I decided to give guitar another shot. I can play again, but in a very limited way. I keep it simple & work with about a dozen basic chords. It's my right hand that has surprised me. I been able to do things with it that I couldn't all those years ago. I guess that was a gift from the cosmos. Anyway, it's made me happy again. God bless.
What a history! Music can heal, yes, and you have been given some unique gifts.
Just wanted to let you know this is now part of my LifeSongs Playlist. How Beautiful this is. Especially when you realize this vid dropped during the Covid Pandemic. THANK YOU ALL!!!
This is really something I am 79 years old and never heard this the sound is fantastic
Imagine mixing in a few weissenborn lap guitars with this!
I too, am nearly 79 & my hubby 80. He used to play the guitar, & I played the organ & now a Clavinova. Never heard of this lovely instrument. Never too old to learn something new! Blessings to you! :)
Harp - Guitar? Never heard of it. Amazing, it creates such a sweet sound. Normally I play classical music while doing something else but this video stopped me. Thanks from Great Britain.

There's a certain beauty I find about all of this. When I was in elementary school, I remember singing The Water is Wide in my school choir. Now, having just finished my Freshman year of college, I'm getting a harp guitar that a relative found at a garage sale. It's all coming full circle. Thank you.
This vid should be getting a billion views
One of my favorite songs Muriel...
The peace and kindness I felt from the song I also saw in the musician. Music can unite humanity 🙌🙏✨
Wow.!!...I was taken by that performance...thanks for putting that together.
Thanks, Mike! I was playing your harp guitar just today. It will be on a festival coming up listed at murielanderson.com/now.
This music, as with King David, calms and "centers" me at the core of my being. It touches and heals my soul in a very deep and ancient way. I would expect to hear music like this in Heaven. Bless you for blessing me. I really, really needed this.
Many musical hugs to you.
I'm 62 yrs old. Until just this evening I'd never heard of a harp guitar and I'm overwhelmed. By the tones, and even more so by the talent it must take to produce those wonderful tones. This is the 5th and final video I'll watch this evening because I can't imagine observing a better one than the collaboration shown here. It just goes to show that you never stop learning new things if you stay curious. Thank you to all of the artists involved in the making of this video and especially Muriel Anderson, you have a new fan
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you!!
I've never heard of this instrument before...very interesting. I am surprised at just how different versions of this instrument look. So exciting to see and hear so many skilled musicians from around the world. Wonderful video...mush appreciated!!
Wow,I accidentally opened it and I was glad....needed as relief from bad news that we see/hear every day.
I could feel the spiritual energy and love for humanity. This was special on so many levels. Well done...well done !!
What a wonderful version folks!! Love your work Muriel! Greetz, Jimmy
One of my all time folk favorites. Truly beautiful rendition here by all these artists. Just met Muriel Anderson last night at an intimate concert and she is not to be missed. I knew she was a great guitarist but her singing and her songwriting are really excellent. Don't miss her if she's in your town.
Thanks for putting that together! Loved the upper treble strings you incorporated!
I've never seen this instrument before! It's visually exciting and the sound is stunning. What a treat to hear the artists scattered about in the world playing along. Charming beyond words.
Its crazy how we all live in florida and theres many people that wishes to be in florida. Im grateful for what i have! And what i discovered!
Music is prayer
Very pleasant & peaceful! Beautiful sound. I really like the Harp Guitar!
All very talented but that beautiful woman in red at the beach knocked it out of the park. Plainly she’s at a different level 🪕
Sadly the story of my life…..digital hearts
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for this uplifting and beautiful work!!! The music sounds lovely and seeing everyone playing by bodies of water across our beautiful planet is magnificent. There was even a touch of humor. Outstanding!

Absolutely beautiful music!
That was beautiful!! I'm amazed how different each harp guitar is designed. Just utterly beautiful tones!!
This is just beautiful to watch!
great to see Martin Pleass up there. Nice job everyone.
Beautifully orchestrated music featuring many styles of harp guitars. To play the two (or three) "necks" of a harp guitar and also sing is such a difficult task. Only one woman is able to do that on this video.
Brings back wonderful old memories! Great to hear yall play...
This was brilliant...
What a beautiful music you share with us, thank you so much!💞
Thanks, Muriel, for making this happen!
Thanks for your part!
@@MurielAnderson Thank YOU. You are the bestest of the best.

I wished to have that kind of instrument,a guitar harp

Can’t wait to hear this!!!!
Beautiful Music!!! I have never even heard of a Harp Guitar, or knew that thousands played it! welcome to my recommended list
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!
What an awesome amazing sound.I have played guitar most of my life. It always brings me such peace to sit down alone and play it a while. But the guitar will never put out as a beautiful sound as this guitar/harp does.I would love to play one. Awesome amazing video thanks for sharing. God bless each one of you all around the world. Stay well and safe my friend's.
Aha, perhaps another convert!

Wonderful, Thank you to everyone involved!!
Stephen Bennett is hosting a virtual harp guitar gathering in late Oct. I have a Truefire course on arranging The Water is Wide, linked at murielanderson.com/now/
Not sure just how to describe it . If I said it was interesting or beautiful or it just brought me a moments peace as I listened I still dont think I could say just how incredible this music & the musicians are . Thank you so very much for being all those things for me
Podoba mi się. POZDRAWIAM DZIĘKUJĘ ❤
love it..
Sublime. Absolutely sublime....
Really nice, Muriel. Great to see the hgg gang. Sorry we won't be together this year, but we're looking forward to HGG18 in 2021.
See you then, Joe!
Man it's hard to decide which I like the best between a 12 String guitar and guitar and a harp guitar. They both sound really good. But I really love the rich sound you get from a harp guitar. It sounds even better than just a standard guitar.
All Masters!!!
Such a beautiful song
Amazing. Beautiful
Cheers Gray
Australia
I see a lot of coastal harp guitarists here!
Thank you for the most beautiful boxed "string" orchestra. Awesome feeling, speechless.
This is the sweetest musical event I've ever had the joy to witness in all my born days. Thank you, all ! And as ever , love to Darlin' Nancy of the voice.........You picked one of the best-to-sing- and- play tunes in the history of the world, too.
Lisa, thank you! I hope we can write a song together again soon.
