Concerning Hobbits (Celtic Harp) Lord of the Rings

I wouldn't consider myself a big Lord of the Rings fan (to my husbands dismay🤣) but Christy-Lyn and I truly had such a blast making this arrangement of Concerning Hobbits! It was so fun to find ways to imitate the various instruments heard in the original orchestral version. 🧙🏼‍♀️🌿 Enjoy!

Nice arrangement. I like the addition of movie clips. Love those movies.

[@heathermanly7188]

Learn the Harp has so many beautiful arrangements. I don’t have enough time to learn them all. 💗

[@LearningtheHarp]

If only there were more hours in the day! 💚

[@jennifersteed2000]

Oh. My. Gosh!!!!!! 😍 🧙‍♂️🧝‍♀️🌋Amazing!!! I love this arrangement so much!!! Way to go, Carrie!!! I’m definitely learning this piece with you guys next!!!

[@LearningtheHarp]

Awww thanks so much Jennifer! I hope you enjoy learning it! 🤩

[@SharonCullenArt]

What a challenging piece this is with all the syncopation, and non repetitious nature of the arrangement. I have yet to see any other arrangement with more than just the main melody of the piece. I love it. Thank you!❤

[@LearningtheHarp]

Aww thanks Sharon, I'm so glad to hear you love it! 💚🤗

[@joaquinbarrios7001]

The best version I have ever heard!

[@kathilisi3019]

Beautiful arrangement and video! The movie scenes were a nice touch! Thank you, Carrie!

[@LearningtheHarp]

Thanks, Katharina! 🤩Our editing team did such a great job putting this together 💚 👏🏼 --Carrie

[@nwpioneer2551]

Always a treat to hear my wonderful harpist.

[@nightflame69]

You just made this look really really easy. And I am saying that as someone still learning the notes on his harp. I’ve only been taking lessons for a few months now. 🥺👉👈🥺

[@LearningtheHarp]

Hey we all have to start somewhere! There's a lot of practice that went into this 😃 I've been at the stage you are in, and there is so much to look forward to on this journey! Try to enjoy the process 🤗 --Carrie 💚

[@nightflame69]

@@LearningtheHarp I’m getting closer to lesson number three in the book we are using. 🥺 which is going to be using all four fingers on both hands. And the last lesson a lot of it was about following the beats of the actual notes. It is a work in progress. But I think I’m getting better 🥺

[@LearningtheHarp]

@@nightflame69 That's wonderful! It sounds like you're making great progress 😃

[@shannonsharpstory]

Wonderful! I love the clips, too, which reminded me I haven't watched the series in awhile. A great rendition. 🥰

[@TrinityDivineMozart]

That was certainly wonderful and amazing. 💛🎼✝️

[@cyriellelaurent570]

That was lovely, thanks Carrie!

[@rayray91764]

Such a beautiful arrangement! Thank you for sharing 😍

[@user-iv9jq8zm4q]

Absolutely wonderful!

[@sandrab2526]

Thank you! This just jumped in front of everything else on my most want to learn list!

[@LearningtheHarp]

You'll have to let us know how it goes! 💚 Have fun 🤩

[@CarolineWeharp]

I haven’t heard this themed piece to the film Carrie, but I rather like it, full of fun! it is nice to see snippets of this film whilst you were playing.

[@LearningtheHarp]

So glad you enjoyed it, Caroline! 💚 --Carrie

[@TheJunehog]

Excellent! Now let's hear it on the Dusty!

[@LearningtheHarp]

Unfortunately that won’t be possible - Carrie was borrowing the Ravenna (very kindly lent by Virginia Harp Center) and she returned it when she got the Ballad 😊💕 - Christy-Lyn xx

[@TheJunehog]

Oh well. Thanks for the heads up. @@LearningtheHarp

[@Myidea4]

wow.

[@jessicacramer]

Love this song! What level is this arrangement please?

[@LearningtheHarp]

This is the late-intermediate level 🤗 there are links to the sheet music and video course in the description of the video! 💚

[@sorelyanlie2784]

Beautiful. I have a question, which may sound silly, but I’m going to ask it anyway. I have wanted to play the harp my whole life, and about a year ago decided that I am going to work towards owning and learning the harp, but right now even renting a harp is not in the budget, I am wondering if there are things I can do right now that can sort of help with technique or start to prepare me for when I am able to actually have a harp. I don’t know if there are like exercise I can do with my hands just to strengthen them or if it would be more about learning to read sheet music in a harpist sort of way. I did take piano and violin as a teenager so I can read sheet music decently.

[@LearningtheHarp]

Not a silly question at all! That's so exciting that you're working towards getting a harp! 💚We have a free KZbin video series called "How to play the Harp: Start HERE" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnW9qoawpb6qZsk) and it walks you through the basics of playing the harp. This would be a great series to watch even before you get your harp, that way once it arrives you'll be ready to go! And then we also run a program several times throughout the year called "Harp Beginnings" that helps you get started in learning your first songs. You can learn more about it here: www.learningtheharp.com/harp-beginnings/

[@sorelyanlie2784]

Thank you! I have watched the KZbin series, which was so inspiring and helpful!
