1 Hour of Relaxing Celtic Harp Music by Adrian von Ziegler 

Huge thanks to Michael Ghelfi for letting me use his nature ambience! Please check out his channel, he's the ultimate master of ambience: ru-vid.com This is not a song, this is a recording of me playing live for 1 hour, improvising on the spot. So if you hear little mistakes or pauses etc., that's because I had zero plan of what I will play and everything you hear is invented in the second that I play the note.^^ I do this often, but I never show it because I usually do it just to gather new ideas for future music but I thought I might as well let you hear one of those sessions.^^ I will probably use bits and pieces of melodies in here for songs in the future, oh and I also played some of my old melodies from my most known songs, just as a little Easter Egg for those of you who know my music really well, I thought it would be fun.^^ I'm super anxious to play live, so this is probably the closest to a live performance we'll ever get out of me. xD But I might do videos like this again sometime if you enjoy it, just let me know. You can get all my music here: adrianvonziegler.bandcamp.com/album/the-complete-discography You can also support me and my music directly on Patreon if you wish: www.patreon.com/AdrianvonZiegler I hope you have a wonderful day/night, whatever time it is when you read this text!

I just adopted a cat and she's been hiding under the bed because she's so scared and anxious, so I looked at her adoption papers to see if there's anything I can do to help her transition into her new home. It said she likes harp music and nature sounds, so I played this and she immediately perked up and is now out and about in her new home. Thank you so much for this! It sounds lovely and helps calm my new cat down when she's scared 😊

I will definitely be playing this for my baby boy tonight. He has insomnia and your other songs always help him.

Modern day genius seriously, like Beethoven, Bach, or like van gogh is to art. this young man is amazing. Even created his own language.

Praise the LORD for creating harps.

I just lost my 21 year old son. This music is helping me cope. Thank you.

I am Irish and this is really beautiful. Proud to be a Celt.

Dear Adrian I lost my best friend May 1st. He introduced me to your music. He was all things celtic. As I set and visit his resting place I play your music as we spent many hours over last 10 years visiting with your music in background. It is a comfort to me now. Your OTHERWORLD came out in May AJ passed May 1st. The art is so significant to me. I found a walking stick or staff the morning of his transition by my car at the park I walk every morning. It was 6ft long had an end that was cut and all branches had been cut. AJ nicknamed me Merlin because when I made him coffee it was such an ordeal. AJ was wheelchair bound since 90s. He was a real gamer an ex marine and only 50 when he got out of his wheelchair. I believe that staff showed up to let me know in the Otherworld he was walking. In the art work the figure reminds me of Him. He dressed in black his Right hand hung at his side always closed as he couldnt use it. This may sound like a bummer but you have no idea how much listening to your creations heals my heart. Peace and Thank You

That's an honor to have my ambience used by you my friend! I'm looking forward for other collaborations.

Dear Adrian, today I must put to sleep my beloved soulmate- dog *Piwi*🐕. In his last days, he was very ill and we spent our afternoons often on the couch with your music. He always got relaxed, when he heard this harp-melody. Today, in his last hours, we played also this music for him, with candlelight. I'm shure - it was helping him, to find his way across the rainbowbridge 🌈 without fear. Now, I'm sitting here beside his body , his soul is gone, and your music is still playing. And.. I feel peace. Thank you Adrian, this harp-melodie will be for me - now and forever "Piwis-Theme" 🐕🌈💙

This is literally the only thing making me sleep these days. Good night everyone

The combination of the Celtic harp music with ambient nature sounds is so beautiful and relaxing.

My grandma used to play music like this when I was a small kid and it was so relaxing.

honestly, knowing it was improvised and hearing the little pauses makes it so much better to me

This music reminds me of every good moment I've ever had in my life.

I hope everyone goes to heaven to find the peace they need!

this took me to a place i’ve never been; a place very green, lush. the chill of the morning air melting away as the sun starts to filter through the trees. every branch rustles in the wind, every bird chirps as they play. she approaches, smile broad as the night sky, ready to run. she takes my hand and guides me through the trees that we were both familiar with; the trees of our home. sticks crack below us as we jump across small streams, landing on the balls of our feet and bouncing right off of them again. our laughter prompts the birds to sing louder and leaves to rustle more in attempt to be equal to us. she guides me to her garden, where we pick spring flowers until the sun beats on our shoulders. she plucks a petunia and places it, as delicate as a feather, into my braided back hair. i grin and grab across to pick a violet. i stroke her knitted back hair, searching for the perfect spot for the flower. her eyes are peeking up at me from underneath her eyelashes. i secure the flower into its spot and return my gaze to her. she smiles and turns to the woods, becoming me to join her in the labyrinth that is our home.

Immediately my eyes close and I forget everything..... This just falls on me so sweetly and just melts....... Adrian you're a genius.

I read some of the dead sea scrolls about Jesus and he made and played a harp I read, soo when I hear this beautiful music, I think of him and I am at peace, peace is what the world needs and I will pray while I listen, I have been looking for harp music for a while, it is one instrument that can be played by its self and it sounds great like it has a language all by its self as it is a good spirit, I'm American Indian, indigenous people, from the Choctaw tribe, we play flutes and they are beautiful too. Keep it up, I love this.

2024, still listening, so beautiful, so calming❤

Du bist ein Genie. Das sage ich nur so, ich habe das bisher noch niemanden gesagt. Meine Hochachtung. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland! - Ein Dichter

This is phenomenal, I’ve started listening to this while I eat my meals throughout the day and I close my eyes, I have noticed I have not been in such a rush to finish my food but have started to take my time chewing each bite slowly and enjoying the meal 🌞

Love this.sit often under the stars with an open fire just peace and the soft music.sometines till dawn as the sun comes up ..music is magic and in a world so unsure of itself we need to reconnect to nature .. Find peace when you can be still and relax ..Thank you ..

I love you and your music so much!!! Thank you for doing what you do. You've saved me and so many others from depression and losing our minds in this depressing world. Thank you Adrian and no words can ever explain how much your music means to me. ❤❤❤❤

To the person reading this, may your soul be blessed by the universe. May you attain cosmic enlightenment and eternal happiness. Stay safe. Let's spread love around the world. ❤❤❤

Music can bring you to a world only you know.

My daughter is half Irish. She’s not feeling great so I thought I’d put something soothing on so she can sleep peacefully tonight. Thank you ❤

I can't put to words how I love this music it has a magic to it that soothes me.

Been playing this a lot lately for my first baby, Finn, who has been in the hospital all 7 weeks of his life so far. It's very comforting and calming for us both, and perfect to have playing while I read to him from a book about the Irish hero, Finn McCool, after whom he's named. Been enjoying von Ziegler's music for several years, so happy to be sharing it with my son now and will continue to play more for him when he's home! Will be perfect in his dragon/forest/fairy tale/Tolkien-themed nursery.

Playing this while walking my dog through a nature path Is the best feeling ever

Thanks for this video. It literally pulled me out of a mental breakdown and possibly saved my life. For a couple of months I would find a quiet place to listen even if it was just 15 minutes a day. Its healing effects are truly amazing

Thank you so much, Aprian today and every day for your exquisite, dreamy, mysterious, sweet and soothing harp music !! LOVE Trishie

This randomly composed song become your new masterpiece to me.

I'm 1/4 Irish. My grandfather being full. When Celtic music is played it soothes my soul. I play this Playlist to help my little ones busy minds quite and my anxiety to go away so we can sleep. Thank you Adrian 🥰

A todos que están aqui escuchando esa musica para calmar la mente y estar mejor consigo mismo. Quiero que sepas que estas en el camino, siga buscando escuchar y ver quien realmente eres. Buscas dentro de ti lo mejor que hay guardado y así viverras en plenitud. Intenta meditar y ver a ti mismo en diferentes fases de tu vida, si te puedes ver a ti mismo cuando era niño o una niña acércate date un abrazo diga que te ama dedícate una sonrisa enseña lo mejor de ti. Mucha paz y mucho amor a todos que están por aqui.

May your day be as wonderful as you are

Live recording, improvising, without plan...it comes down to bringing us a little closer to you. That's too great of a gift !

Adrian, you are simply amazing! I just had a baby girl 3 months ago and she was having trouble getting to sleep tonight. I tried everything I could think of that usually helps her, but nothing worked until I sat down, held her close, and rocked her as we listened to this. About 10 minutes into it, she was resting peacefully in my arms. I look forward to introducing more of your music to her as she grows.

I forget where I am when I'm listening to this. A blessing from another form of heaven.

to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or PROBABLY will really LOVE adrian von ziegler

Most peaceful hour of my life

I was just reading Name of the Wind and this immediately reminded me of how Kvothe, in his months in the forest, would play the feelings and sensations he felt from the forest and his memories on his lute. Maybe you are like Kvothe Sixtring, Adrian.

I leave this music on for my cats when I have to leave for work as it seems to help ease their separation anxiety. Thanks Adrian!

Musica celestiale ed evocativa, fa risorgere energie dal passato

After a traumatic morning this video replenishes my soul with your tender gift and your generosity to share it is much appreciated...bless you

Thank you for your musical inspiration. Be well.

I’m Germanic but my father is nearly half Celtic. I have lots of Irish in my central Germanic family. I have so much respect for the Celts, and I love the fantastical music.

Had a rough day...in pain...so I get the bath ready and I'm like: "I need some soul soothing Celtic music..." And there it was...by the master himself, no less. Thank You and your gift for music, Adrian. 💕

My little dog is blind, of all the relaxing music on YT I believe this is his favorite, thank you so much.

this is the music of the gods

I am from Wicklow, Ireland 🇮🇪! I enjoy every last note of the music you make! This is my go-to every time I'm feeling down and I'm immediately feeling incredible. Thank you so much Adrian. For everything. Love from Ireland🇮🇪☘️

This was very healing to my heart. Thank you

In this difficult year, when going out into the countryside has been somewhat restricted at times, I would put this on, close my eyes and imagine I was out there, Thank you for all your great music over the years.

Thank you for this from an exiled Irish woman on a cathartic healing journey. Blessed be!

“ Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” - Matthew 7:7 Your music is a beautiful, transcendent accompaniment for the contemplation of these words of Jesus. My friends, many of you are battling darkness. Turn to the light - ask, seek, and knock at the door of Christ! In Him is the source of all beauty, virtue, and love. Peace to you.

This is unbelievably beautiful. I can just feel my stress pouring out through the plucks of the harp strings.

Now I 'm listening this wonderful harp while it' s raining, at last! And the atmosphere is perfect...

Man, I do not even have words to describe how magnificent your songs can be. I could only imagine you're somehow blessed by some uplifting God, and of course, a very very very talented musician.

Only one instrument and birds singing on the background, this is what i was loocking for thank you very much!! ❤️

Some things never truly fade away, ya know? The sentiment that echoes a time of eld still illuminating presently is akin to the sentiment I felt when writing this poem for anyone interested in reading: He comes from a time long ago, When the fairies sung in the forest, Satyrs and dwarves dancing together, Overseeing the land as the horned protector Many have forgotten his name, Whether it had been slandered by those who sought to make many forget, As fear was struck into their hearts, A once revered warrior of the land was seen as their enemy Yet even though he spent many years in isolation, Deep within the dark recesses of the earth, Not all had forgotten his name, For there was a fellow raven who saw all with her own eyes She came to his cave, Recognizing the ill growth that had grown on him, She sought to cleanse and purify him as she helped him let go, Her love freeing him from the shackles of eld When he gazed at her, He could see himself, The shadow part of him that never truly left him, Always there for him No matter how many centuries had passed, Her love towards him was unwavering, For he was the constant that she saw when all else faded around her, Just as she was the constant for him No matter how many millennia pass, Spring and Fall always interchangeably cycle consistently, As well as the bright sunny sky and the dark starry raven night sky, As life & death sing forth endings and new beginnings No matter how many eras pass, These forces are inseparable, Just like light and shadow, Merging together to bring forth illumination, balance, and wholeness

I am working from home, surrounded by my precious cats and dogs. This helps me focus and relax, and puts the animals into a blissful state.

Good night all 😴

My partner has been watching TV this evening whilst I've been sat with headphones listening to this whilst crocheting. Hard to believe that this was purely spur of the moment, it sounds like something you've played many times and are confident with. It's so calm and relaxing, something in very short supply in these trying times. Thankyou for sharing your wonderful gift with us again xXx

I've spent hours upon hours browsing YoutTube looking for the perfect harmony to help me relax and fall asleep. I came across your channel and I'm so blown away by how many tracks you have that do what others couldn't! Thank you for the time you put into creating these escapes.

I can't believe you improvised this entire piece! It's so beautiful! You're a fantastic harpist!

I was looking for fae songs for a forest walk and this sounds really nice

Oh my heart. Sounds that can pearce the soul of one who's made it through the hardest and darkest of times. Even the rough and rugged exterior not strong enough to hold back the slightest tear brought out by Celtic harp.

This entire recording is absolutely incredible, but 18:36 - 21:00 in particular is otherworldly chill-inducing. Wow.

19:17 I have no words to describe how beautiful that melody is.

Danke! Celtische Musik scheint auch bei mir etwas unerklaerlich vertrautes zu sein...es ist, wie wenn es mich erinnert ....an meine wahre Herkunft....an das wer ich wirklich bin....an bereits erlebtes zu früherer Zeit?? .... Und immer wenn ich dies von dir hoere, fliessen Tränen der puren freude. Tränen der liebe und Glückseligkeit...ja, so ist es.! ...ich freu mich auf das tanzen im Kreis mit gleichgesinnten Menschen zu keltischer Musik und bin dabei es zu manifestieren ;) we create a New world. ! Peace and love from me to you - aus Deutschland.

Man, the fact that this came out spontaneously shows how much you're connected to your music and how present you are while playing. You have my deep respect and admiration for that. Right now I'm in Brazil, reading a book, and relaxing after an awesome, but intense week of work. And I was thinking about how many different people in different situations and at different places have had the opportunity of listening to your beautiful songs to make their moments better. Thank you for having the courage to bring your best to the world, brother.

I want to thank you for creating such marvelous music, it has helped me through some very dark times. This video specifically helped me by allowing me to feel like I wasn't trapped indoors; like my suicidal thoughts were miles away and had no hold on the present. Music is truly a liberating thing if done correctly and you have done it.

This was so beautiful. It made me feel as if I were in the woods, on a crisp Autumn morning.

"Эта музыка как транквилизатор для души. После прослушивания я чувствую себя легче и полнее сил. Спасибо, что подарили мне этот чудесный подарок."

perfect calming sound,. i hear Adrian von Ziegler since 2012,. and i will keep on,. 💎💎🎶🎶🙂🙏🙂🙂

Adrian, I've been listening to your music since 2013, and now as I reach the end of my first year as a music PhD, your music brings me just as much calm to my anxious life as it did in my final years of childhood. Thank you for the peace you bring to people.

Amazing. Such talent. Lifted my spirit closer to the sprites under my orchid tree at sunset. I felt harmony and less alone in this crazy world for a sweet harp hour. Thank you

For anyone that is suffering from COVID-19, or afraid,listen to this song, there are the words”stress relief” and “relaxing.” And it WAS very relaxing and made me stress relief.......thanks so much Healing Tree Music!!! :) :) :) :) Stay safe everyone! :) :) :) :) :)

My daughter plays harp, and she has found your music when i was pregnant, it helped me to relax, to smile and to get through some difficulties then and now. Today we have a newborn baby 7 days old, he is also a big fan of your music and celtic harp, and always has a nice sleep listening to it😇. Thank you, with love and gratitude from Ukraine💛💙

Being a single mom and working as a domestic violence advocate this music brings me peace ✌️ 😌 and helps me help others thank you so much

I am going through difficult times (like many others) and finding your music in this moment is magical, it touches my soul, it relaxes me, it transports me, it helps me sleep, I am fighting anxiety and depression. Thanks for sharing the beautiful music you compose. Right now i'm by candlelight listening to you. Greetings from Uruguay 💜

For a moment, I am free. A discarnate spirit flying in a beautiful space.

RU-vid pauses video after 20 minutes. This defeats the purpose of a relaxation video for me. The musicianship is wonderful.

Playing while organizing my room. So relaxing 🌿🕊🎶

This is so Beautiful. I play this while I am sewing. So relaxing.

I am happy, I am healthy, I am wealthy. I do not chase, I attract. What belongs to me will simply find me. Blessed Be 💜

💕Thank you for this beautifully relaxing music. It transported me to a favourite place in the woods in Huelgoat , Brittany with a canopy of trees around me and the birds singing. I was once lucky enough to walk through there, and down near the stream, which runs through huge boulders of rock, was a harpist playing his music. It moved me to tears. I have since then bought a harp and am enjoying learning how to play it. Your music has inspired me to make an effort to learn to improvise and practice more. Thank you again. 💕

It's a sound that by God's Almighty Grace lifts up the soul to thirst for peace and joy and freedom. The Lord bless you for this beautiful incredible music.

3:43 - 5:08 the best part (for me)

Adrian has a beautiful mind.🍀

I would be held in the bosom of my late beloved mother It's a blissful time for me The comfort of harp sound is irreplaceable

Thank you, Adrian for the whole collection of your music. I always come back here, for my soul, to think about the things that are really important to me and the beautiful things that exist in this world, the birds, flowers, the little creatures, many do not like these simple things that we are surrounded by. since I discovered Celtic music, and also you Adrian, I have rediscovered myself and I am a better person and I love everything around me, through your music I have discovered to find the beautiful in the ugly. I can't wait to show my children your music and tell them my stories.

I really really love this kind of music. Long and wandering, without any goal in mind, and magically transportive. Like I’m now standing in an enchanted forest listening to elven music. It helps me relax and let go of the anxiety I seem to have in excess at the moment. I can totally hear some of the melodies of your other work in here too. Thank you for making beautiful music and sharing it. Now I’ll go write some fantasy stories whilst listening to this. Peace ✌️🌸🌞🎶✨

I closed my eyes whilst warm in bed at night, and id forgotten how much i like Harp music. I imagjned i was near edge of a lake in a forest, after rain, it smelt fresh, i had a harpist nearby as i laid on a comfy bed enjoying forest smells and scenery sound of your harp. Bless you. From England uk.

Beautiful!

This is lovely. The birds and nature sounds really add to the relaxing quality.

I searched high and low for some beautiful music for an ice storm we recently had and this is perfect! Your music mixed with the tinkling of the branches covered in ice is sublime!

I'm Irish and proud to be a Celt

Work barely even feels like work with this. Thank you so much.

Céleste et éthéré : simple et juste parfait 🌈💫😍
