What a wonderful presentation! Many years ago while I was in graduate school, I went to a concert on campus in which three harps played Debussy's Claire De Lune, which was probably the most beautiful music I has ever heard.
There is an odd little movie called "Bugsy Malone" that is presented as a 1930's gangster film. However, all the actors are boys and girls. And it's a musical (music by Paul Williams). Anyway, there is a typical scene of the director of the local theater having auditions The first is a girl singer and after awhile the director says, "Next! Don't give up your day job." The 2nd act is unfunny comedy and it gets a fast "Next!" The third act is a boy singer and sings a few notes and gets the "Next!" Fourth is ventriloquist and fifth is a magician and they too are cut off quickly with "Next!" Then two stage hands wheel a big harp onto the stage with the girl performer right behind it. She doesn't even get a chance to sit down or play one note and immediately gets "Next!". Sorry, I just thought this needed to be shared in this most perfect of venues. All kidding aside, I like the harp, a good friend of our family sold Lyon & Healy harps, and I rode by the Lyon & Healy factory in Chicago many times on the Lake Street El. They maintained a very high level of craftsmanship.
There was a delightful "I Love Lucy" episode that featured Harpo Marx. He really was rather good with the harp and performed a very dramatic rendition of, of all things, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game". Here it is (and I suspect this might have motivated a few young 1950's TV watchers to take up the instrument): ruclips.net/video/H16vDiX_PCo/видео.html
Hermoso instrumento y admiro su delicadeza para sacar la grandeza de su sonido. Saludos desde Chile. Pero antes le envío un link de un músico chileno que ya no está con nosotros, pero que fue un gran ejecutor de este instrumento. ruclips.net/video/yFuQjpsGJT8/видео.html
Oh wow. Those harmonics were super clean.
I don't know how she had the time to flip that page. She is so talented. An amazing woman for sure!
Can't get enough of that sweet sound. !!!!!
Beautiful! Perhaps it’s because of this lovely sound that the harp is the instrument of angels. Thank you for sharing your talent and stay safe!
Wonderful!! I love this piece. I am happy that the Navy has such an incredibly talented woman. Thank You!
Chief Dickson thanks. :-) I've heard this piece 1st. here. OS-3 Spring; (1978-83).

I love the harp! I actually have a 32 string harp. I should play it more often.
Great job!!
Celtic harp. I love no pedals and no levers.
I’m satisfied with my drums and percussion, thank you.
Beautiful!

2:33 HOW DID SHE HAVE TIME TO FLIP THE PAGE???
THANK YOU very much, I think I am going to play the harp when I get older
Awesome. You can play the men into battle
I see the harp and I think of a movie like Troy or Alexander.lol

That looks so difficult to play. I mean my mother is a very skilled pianist and organist but this seems hard. Very cool tho..
Most of that was beautiful, the erratic bits were a bit unusual to me. I love the gentle notes of the harp. Well done!
