Paduana alla Venetiana - Harp with Historic Carousel
This is an Italian tune from the early 1500's (also written "Pavana alla Venetiana) written by lute-player Joan Ambrosia Dalza and arranged by Kim Robertson. It blows my mind every time we get to play music that's centuries old; talk about a long-lasting legacy! There was the warmest, rich-colored sitting corner at an AirBnb that we stayed in that seemed perfect for this tune.
And right along that theme is the wonderful Historic Carousel in Albany, OR, that we visited while on our way to the AirBnb. It features a restored antique carousel mechanism (from 1909, donated by the Dentzel family) bearing all kinds of animals, each one dreamed up and designed by individual sponsors and hand-carved from wood by volunteers -- many of whom were taught how to woodwork by the carousel's team! The carousel currently offers free tours into the woodworking shop to see the current animals in progress and view some antique carousel animals from as far back as 1890.
This is a wonderful place to visit and the team is so kind to offer tours and so much information for free -- please give them a visit and support this cool legacy attraction by riding the carousel, purchasing from their gift shop, or donating! You can learn more about the carousel here:

Morning Has Broken / Si Bheag Si Mhor -- Memorial Day Harp Special
zhlédnutí 599Před 21 dnem
In honor of Memorial Day, I spent a rainy-sunny afternoon at our veteran's cemetery and played for my family and those who have gone before us in service. I love that you can hear the nearby red-winged blackbirds singing a few times in this video! Blackbird truly has spoken! Wikipedia writes, "Morning Has Broken" was written by Eleanor Farjeon and published in 1931, then set to a traditional Sc...
The Waves of Ballycurrane - Celtic Harp at a Tulip Fest!
zhlédnutí 311Před měsícem
I've been so excited to share this tune and video! This is an original jig I wrote around 2018 for fiddle that I only recently harp-ified, and when Steven and I visited the beautiful Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Oregon last year I had a nagging desire to bring my harp with me the next year - so here we are! I hope you enjoy tulip shots, because I took a lot of them. It had drizzled much of the...
She Moved Through the Fair - Celtic Harp in the Livingroom
zhlédnutí 373Před 2 měsíci
Took some time to play a handful of tunes in the corner of the cute historic inn where Steven and I were staying the night and decided to sneak in a little live recording while I was at it. This is "She Moved Through the Fair," featuring my furtive glance to make sure I'm not annoying anyone as they come and go. 😂
The Parting Glass - Celtic Harp in the Wild
zhlédnutí 577Před 2 měsíci
A beautiful tune that I never get tired of playing: The Parting Glass, featuring nature sounds of the wind and river and one excellent fishy splash. Filmed sometime last year before I knew anything about decent filming or extra footage so please enjoy some photos and random clips from our adventures that month. Photos/footage include more of the Magic Valley and a trip to Boulder Lake that we h...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! This was such a fun song to record because of all the beauty around this area! I've left the waterfall/river sounds in so it can be like one of those old Nature Quest CDs (does anyone else remember "Celtic Quest"??) There were SO MANY animals around here, including two very busy rock chucks that were sprucing up their burrow with new grass and some super cool goats abou...

Also featuring Mrs. Tamara as our "background pub sounds" that we humbly requested to help us practice for the upcoming St. Pat's season (yes, all the way back in December. ;) ) My favorite memory of John Ryan's so far was playing it...

The Magic Valley is just that - magic! I got to visit the wild bald eagles and play harp around some of the gorgeous canyons and waterfalls in the area recently. I learned this O'Carolan composition from Grainne Hambly - just a short clip this time around but still a goodie! Sorry for my death squint... I'm not really mad while I'm playing, the lighting and views were just best when I pointed m...
The High Drive / Mason's Apron - Session Tunes
zhlédnutí 376Před 4 měsíci
Two fun reels in the keys of D and A; these never fail to get the toes a-tappin'. Big thanks to my friend, Ella, for helping me on this set! The High Drive was written by Gordan Duncan, and the Mason's Apron (according to an interesting tidbit I found on www.bowingdownhome.ca) can be found as long ago as 1778 in an "early variation called 'Braes of Glenorchy' in Alexander MacGlashen’s Collectio...
Kusnacht - Harping for horses
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 4 měsíci
Happy 250 subscribers, everyone!! This is a gorgeous waltz I learned from the incomparable Grainne Hambly. It seemed just the right pick for a bright, snowy day with my two girls. I also wanted to make sure they'd stick around for the whole song, so a little bit of bribery for both of them also seemed alright for the circumstance. (Lol!)
Baloo Lammy - Scottish Lullaby on Harp
zhlédnutí 571Před 4 měsíci
Filmed on a quiet December night, this lullaby has always struck me as so beautifully peaceful. It was a fun challenge to see if I could keep track of my strings in low light! In other news, my husband tells me that 250 subscribers is the next milestone, and we're almost there! I really am quite floored that anyone other than my hubs and mother are listening to my music, so thank you, truly. I ...

"Ookpik Waltz" in G major, styled after the Blake Whitmire Trio's rendition, featuring my talented friend who's been learning fiddle with me for a few years now! Wikipedia says "the Ookpik Waltz was published in 1965 by the late, Mission, British Columbia, fiddler Frankie Rodgers." My friend looked up what an ookpik is, and apparently it's a small toy owl that the Inuit people make, often out o...
The Snow Lay on the Ground - Celtic Harp for Cats

There was the loveliest drifting snowfall happening, so I grabbed my cloak and excessively warm clothing and ran outside to play this tune. But Max saw me in the cold and came out to join - so my first take or two were full of his loud quack-meowing as he paced around me, repeatedly telling me it wasn't the right time to be outside playing harp (smart kitty.) The only way to temporarily satisfy...

Happy New Year to all, and a very special thank you to each and every one of you for listening to my music! Thanks to you, I just passed 100 subscribers! That may seem like small beans to some, but when I picture a room filled with 100 people I feel like that's a lot of folks. :D So, for our 100-subscriber special I'm posting an original I wrote back in 2019, titled "Luthien."

Wonderful, put a smile on my face
Thankyou for more lovely music
A beautiful song! I wonder if I could get paid a fortune to test merry-go-rounds all day. :)
Wouldn't that be a dream job?? They'd probably need to hire a few people for that so they could manage everybody's schedules with... rotating shifts. *ba dum tssh!* 😂
Beautiful. A "different" way to honour a special person, amd so many others we owe our freedoms to.
Lovely! 😍 Thank you, times two!
👏👏👏♥️🌹🐱
👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️
What a truly beautiful program of honor! Every note of the melody on the harp, every photo view inserted into the music was perfect, the veteran names shown thro’ the harp strings was stunningly moving, and the Robin seen at the end. Thank you so much for sharing this gift of beauty!!!💕❤️❤️❤️
Rachel, what a beautiful tribute to your grandfather. Thank you for adding your unique vibration to CZcams... and the world. We'd all be impoverished without it. ❤
That's so kind of you, Beverly! Thank you!
Thank you for choosing this song, one of his favorites, to remember your WW2 veteran grandfather. You have done such an incredible, beautiful job with your playing, the video, and with the honor this pays to a very special man..
Honor and thanks to heroes.
Muchísimas gracias!
Con mucho gusto! 💕
I love your cat - she must like the harp. ;)
Shalom from Australia, Rachel. Can you tell me where in the world you are located?
Shalom to you! I'm in Idaho, USA. 😊
Beautiful music from God's (?) chosen instrument. The cat seemed to like the music. What is the cats name "C" major ?
His name is Max! 😊
@@rachelsulik Music to the Max ??
@@robertgrey6101😂 Love it!
I can’t imagine how this could ever annoy anyone! It’s a beautiful tune and you play beautifully!
Aw, thank you!
Thank you so much for this beautiful piece. Happy Spring!
I love the parting glass, well played.
Lovely piece well played, beautiful shots of the tulips. Was it distracting playing with people wondering around looking at the flowers?
Surprisingly, not too distracting! A few folks mentioned afterward that they enjoyed the live music, which was really encouraging. 😊
Top that, Harpo Marx 😅
😂
The beautiful flowers, and your beautiful music are truly heavenly! Thank you ❤
Just beautiful pictures. Like Holland in the spring. Accompanied by beautiful music. Lovely Thankyou!!

Thank you!
Where can I get the sheet music? Is this from harp column?
I'm using Kim Robertson's "Celtic Harp Solos" book - but I'll bet Harp Column or other online sources have the same or comparable arrangements! :)
Thank you! I love this tune. Which harp is this? and where is this lovely waterfall?
This is a Dusty Strings Ravenna 26, and the waterfall is at Ritter Park in Hagerman!

Greetings from the UK. Absolutely lovely. Thankyou for sharing your gift of music and such beautiful scenery. So calming as I settle down in bed, listening to quiet music ready to sleep in a while. 😊
It looks so peaceful there. Beautiful music as always!
Hello Ms. Sulik I am a professional Magician and would really, really love to use this piece to open my Parlor/Cabaret show...(focused, pure sleight of hand using antique coins set to the entirety of the piece) Please let me send you a video of the piece if you would like. Thank you in advance. Cheers .
Hi! You're welcome to use this music; I hold no rights to the tune but if you do use specifically this video/video's audio, please just be sure to credit me as the performing artist. Thanks!
Thank you and yes you are credited in full Very much appreciated
Very lovely sounding, and relaxing to listen to. Absolutely loved it ❤
I love this song❤
A lovely tune, played so well. Thankyou.

This is, indeed, so lovely!🥰 I love harp music and cats still more, somehow they fit to the instrument - so otherworldly.
This is a piece i came across in a very old video game. You play it perfectly! This is on my list of songs i want to play. Finally i know what the actual title is. Thank you!
That's so cool! What a small (musical) world!
Just beautiful,forever dusty string ❤

Such a beautiful song! I had to watch it twice more to see the lovely wildlife again.
