The Joyful Harp

Fun with jazz!! I'm branching out! I'm starting to work on a couple jazz standards: Autumn Leaves and Summertime. I'm really enjoying those "crunchy" chords. I hope to have a piece ready to post a video here soon!

When I started The Joyful Harp page three years ago, I thought I understood how it works. Then one day last year, suddenly everything was different and I couldn't even figure out how to post. The feed was suddenly too full of ads to even see if there were any posts from actual people. Today, though, I'm determined to find out how to resurrect it! It is my preferred place to share music! Right now, I'm working on some 14th c. Spanish music using Roselyn the Tiny Harp. As soon as I figure out again how it all works, I'll post a sample.

It's not 12th Night yet. I can play Christmas music!

Not exactly a harp event, but it will feature a harp prelude: the hymn "Crown Him with Many Crowns" arranged by my teacher Joanna Mel.

Here's something that was recorded several years ago, with flautist Danika Gooch. It is a piece, "Advent Song", written by my vicar Fr. Peter Rodgers.
