Tamsin Dearnley uses the unique Teifi harp semitone levers for her take on Dave Brubeck's jazz piece. Played on a Teifi Eos 36 String Concert Gauge Celtic Lever Harp. For more information visit www.teifiharps.com
Just my opinion, but 99% of any song is in the arrangement and this is the nicest arrangement of this song ever. The execution (playing) goes without saying, also well done.
That harmonic at the end was amazing! And I like how she lets the strings resonate for a bit before silencing them. Classical harpists often mute the strings very quickly (in my limited experience of watching videos of performances).
I first played this not looking too closely and was like “aw man I wish I could work towards this but I have a lever harp” then I noticed 😧 that’s so impressive
I started out watching this thinking there is no way she's going to get through this song without any lever changes. Then I saw 0:21. Wonderful technique!
@@celestinac1105 I’m sure it can’t be that bad but there’s just so many strings. Like I’m too lazy to tune my uke every time I play it lmao. Guess the harp isn’t for me
@uomodibassamorale, I had the same reaction as you. Alas, Poor Paul Desmond! He writes this great jazz classic but his band leader Brubeck always gets the credit. Hopefully the Red Cross (to whom Desmond reportedly willed the royalties) gets to shake its head all the way to the bank. This sharp harpist just gave another beauteous rendition.
