Celtic Harp Improvisation on Anne de Bretagne (traditional French Folk Tune) by Marianne Bouvette

[@newshades7009]

when an instrument is played well by musicians like this the instrument itself takes on a beauty as if its alive

[@sinbeforegød]

I'm a drummer, but the harp always makes me emotional in a beautiful kind of way. 😿

[@georgina1258]

Doesn't it!

[@johnhayes8557]

Marianne, as always, thank you for sharing joy and beauty in a world people too often make sordid and ugly.

[@johnhayes8557]

Have you heard of the Welsh American harpist Sylvia Wood? Some of your phrasing reminds me of her on her Harp of Brandiswere, and of course, Alan Stivell. Blian nua go maith dhuit!

In case anyone was wondering, it's in D minor. I just played along on my guitar (while listening - mostly chords and a bit of harmonising) and it was soooo much fun!

@@mariannebouvettemusic Strange thing is I'm a big metal, AC/DC fan and a rocker at heart but I really have a thing for Harp and Clarsach music and the only thing I can put it down to is my love for medieval history? I do think medieval, when I listen to this also with the old castle in the background, well I just love it. Please have a listen to the Chanters tune if you do not already know it. Thanks from the Scottish Highlands

[@mariannebouvettemusic]

@@michaelgallon9431 thank you so much for the suggestion - the Chanters Tune sounds lovely, thanks for the inspiration! Medieval music and metal can actually go quite well together (I like Celtic metal too)! So they’re not incompatible :) thanks again!

Beaucoup d'assurance chez cette excellente instrumentiste, grande musicalité. Très sûre de son art, malgré les conditions pas idéales du tournage ! 👌

[@mariannebouvettemusic]

Un immense merci de votre appréciation qui me touche énormément! Tourner en extérieur a toujours des avantages et des inconvénients - un cadre très inspirant (pour moi qui ai commencé par le piano, c’est magique de pouvoir apporter son instrument en pleine nature) mais défi acoustique et interruptions à la pelle (promeneurs à couper au montage, cela dit lorsqu’ils laissent un petit compliment au passage ça redonne de l’énergie pour le reste de l’enregistrement!) 🥰

Takes me back to the days as a child when I would listen to a wind up Swiss musical box and dream.

[@musical76]

Bonjour Marianne. De nouveau un morceau magnifique que vous interprétez avec une grâce infinie. Le décor que vous avez choisi convient merveilleusement bien à cette musique un peu mélancolique. Je rêve de vous entendre jouer "Anne de Bretagne" dans les douves du château des ducs de Bretagne à Nantes.

[@spokenwordillusions5756]

Love the choice of scenery; having a real castle in the background, next to a pond. The blue jacket was a nice touch. The song is calming, rather tranquil; Anne De Bretagne must have been loved by her citizens. Wikipedia mentions that she became the Queen Consort of Napoli during the Italian wars................

I got a strong sense of the heart of the celtic people and culture coming from this tune as it is in Ireland.

[@harfesusanneglobisch9791]

Great tune, and a wonderful interpretation! I usually play larger harps, so I'm really interested in how to fit a tune well on a smaller one... Lovely, thanks!!!

[@mariannebouvettemusic]

Harfe: Susanne Globisch thank you for your nice comment! I arranged this piece making sure that the key where I transposed it allowed me to play the lowest notes using the bass strings on the left hand, for more richness and depth of tone. I also enjoy playing the grand pedal harp but I am always amazed by how versatile smaller instruments can be! Thanks again for watching and happy harping! Musical greetings from Belgium ❤

[@mariannebouvettemusic]

Oooh, your comment really made my day! Danke schön 😊 I’m so glad I can spread the joy of music and the magic of harp. You couldn’t make me happier. And Germany surely has nothing to envy to Belgium with its amazing landscapes and castles. Alpine nature is such an inspiration, I am sure it will inspire beautiful music to you! Wishing you the very best with your music journey. It is never too late to start learning the harp! And it is one of those instruments that immediately produce magical sounds even if you’re a beginner (much more forgiving than the violin for example), so I am sure you will love it! I was also 36 years old when I started learning the harp and it’s been life changing for me. Good luck and enjoy ❤️
