You asked for it, I made it! Some of you commented and said you'd like me to play some music from the Final Fantasy series, specifically the Prelude from FFVII. So I hope you like it! My best friend is a huge fan of the series so I had pressure from all sides to make this happen. Do you want more? Let me know in the comments.
This is my first venture on KZbin into multi-harp arrangements - the parts are fairly simple but there were basically just too many notes to do this on one harp, I would have had to miss out things that I felt were important for keeping to the original spirit of the music. And no, I am not a twin! We've just got a bit of camera trickery going on here. Or have we?!
Big thanks to:
Ben Turk - Director, audio, post-production
John Hoskison - Camera op, post-production
David Stanton - End title animation
Rev. John Owen for the use of Steep Church for filming

Aw, those sweeping arpeggios are excellent. They sound good on virtually every stringed instrument known to man; piano, guitar, and most certainly harp.

[@nickbullinger141]

I believe the term "arpeggio" itself comes from Latin meaning to play on a harp. Don't quote me on that though; I'm too lazy to fact-check it myself

[@ololreyalple]

What about on drums?

Also playing in a Church like where Aerith/Aeris lived :) Topped off with a few flowers for a nice touch.

[@vincenzoscattaglia1811]

I noticed them, but in my mind I associated them to Glowing Juggling Balls, since I play with (though not glowing) them, but I also noticed the dressing :D

Its not materia...its the dragonballs, they gathered them and wished aerith back to life

[@rstiver1]

Lovely. Ms. Turk's artistry has been a great solace for me in the six months since my beloved wife of 49 years was taken from me. I immerse myself in "Watching the Wheat" multiple times a day and never fail to shed tears of loneliness and despair with a nearly equal joy at such ethereal luminescence. (As I recall, Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C was my introduction to Amy.)

I found this channel an hour ago looking for obscure Bach renditions. I loved it and until I found this. I now have a new favorite channel. Bach, Tchaikovsky, Final Fantasy, Zelda. This is the channel I've been waiting for. Bravo Amy, your brilliance has earned you a fan and a sub. You're amazing...

[@SchmooDude]

Absolutely beautiful! Not just the sound of the harp but, your playing of the harp is amazing. Incredible musician. I could listen to this all day.

[@dianagibbs3550]

I grew up with FF; FFVI was my game. The harp arpeggios ... honestly it's hard to describe the feeling they give me, but it's instantaneous and sublime. Five million hearts, Amy Turk. Thank you.

[@MrBelmontcain]

AMAZING! I'm so happy you did the ff7 one with that awesome melody. That was always my favorite, I would let the title screen run for hours.

[@darksidedsam88]

I listen to many covers of OSTs .. Some Great pianists, some awesome guitarists and also remixes or orchestrated versions. However, only your harp covers are the ones that truly soothe and comfort this broken soul, (luckily you've covered my 2 favourite games too) Thank you

[@ゴウさんヤッホー]

[@rrumzis7899]

It looks like so much work, but yes yes please make more! Final Fantasy is too beautiful for you not to do more.💙

[@JerichoWhiskey]

I always felt the Final Fantasy VI version's slower tempo gave it a more impactful feeling. Slowing this down to 0.8x speed did not disappoint.

This is one of the, MOST beautiful songs written. 🎵❤️🥰

[@InDzienInTampa]

The first time I heard this played at a concert on the harp, an opportunity I had during one of the Florida visits of the More New Friends serious a few years back, I couldn't hold back tears. There's something really special about this particular arpeggio that just draws out the perfect balance of nostalgia and contextual emotion that makes it timeless.

I watch ONE video of someone playing a FF7 song on a harp and then youtube is like "HEY, there's a LOT of videos of exactly that, which you never knew about, here you go!". Been watching these for days now. Normally I hate the heavy handed suggestion-bot but this is one time I found it useful.

Wow, part of me wants to feel silly for being moved by a video game theme - but this brings back memories of discovering this game when it came out in 9th grade and calling in sick to school for days in a row, just so I could play that game non-stop. That was/is easily my favorite NES game and all of the music for that game was fantastic. Really every NES game had incredible music.
