Harp Tuesday

It’s Tuesday… It’s Harp Tuesday! (A YouTube show about the harp)

Ep. 31-33, 35, 43: Arranging Greensleeves project!

I had a lot of fun with this series of episodes – all about arranging Greensleeves. I ended up with an arrangement/composition that I really like, and it’s neat to see it happen bit by bit, including in the first episode, in real time!






And the music video!
