Hey everyone! More Zelda music today :)
A while ago, I was thinking about how even though Great Fairy's Fountain is such an iconic harp piece, the original is really hard, and would typically need a pedal harp to play, which means that there might be a lot of harpists out there wanting to play it, but not thinking they could.
But the truth is it was actually pretty easy to make it into a lever harp version! This arrangement is what I would consider "early intermediate", so not like "first harp lesson" easy, but not terribly difficult, either. In this video I play it on my Dusty Strings Ravenna 26 with a full set of levers. You will need the levers to make this song work! It's certainly a great way to get used to lever changes.
The sheet music is available on MusicNotes, link is above.

Are there any other songs you'd like to see me arrange for easy(ish) lever harp? Btw, sheet music is available here: www.musicnotes.com/l/d3BM8

[@YuzukiSeo0000]

Would Heritors of Arcadia (I think that's what it's called) the credits of Fire Emblem Echoes be possible? It is in a key with a lot of sharps, but I don't know how big an issue that would be for you to change it, or what the accidentals scene would look like.

[@laurensmith55]

Evan's Room from Majora's Mask, AKA game over ... a piano sample is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3XadoOZo5utmZY I'd love it :D but I know there's many changes and I think minor notes

So, had a dream where one of the versions of Link is an old man and dying and the fairies come for him and one of them says, "rest warrior, you have done the task set for you, it is time to rest." And the last thing he hears before he closes his eyes is this. Thank you for sharing. Absolutely love it.

[@SamanthaBallard]

Wow, that's an intense dream ;_; I'm really glad you liked this version of the song!

I find it interesting how this song has actually changed keys for different games in the series that use it.

[@dzz5799]

[@hayden7955]

This theme got me into harp :) Though I still can't manage to find an affordable used 34 string to play :[

[@SamanthaBallard]

Double-time Sam! 😹😋

[@lilit7894]

The sheet is unavailable now apparently😢

[@SamanthaBallard]

@@lilit7894 yes :( Nintendo revoked all third party sheet music licenses recently and I haven’t had time to go through my videos to take down broken sheet music links

[@kpunkt.klaviermusik]

What impressed me the most: the elegance of your lever changes - and there's a lot of them! Really wonderful transcription!

[@SamanthaBallard]

😂 thank you, haha! There are a lot of them in this piece but it doesn't feel as hectic as some of the other lever harp arrangements I've done

[@RebeccaETripp]

Beautiful as always! One thing I love about this is that it's so minimal, and yet so refined and precise at the same time!

[@SamanthaBallard]

Ahh thank you Rebecca!

[@YuzukiSeo0000]

This is absolutely beautiful. It sounds very ethereal and fairy-like. And those glissandi!!!!❤

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thank you so much! I love a good glissando >:)

[@Shellshockstunts]

I want to play like you ❤

[@jecksonng]

sadly soon I will one day stop using KZbin. Too many ads makes KZbinrs lose Subscribe. Is a matter of time.

[@rafaelramosization]

The lever changes, my gosh x) very nice piece of work, thanks :))

[@SamanthaBallard]

Haha! There's a lot but I think they're pretty doable! Thanks Raphel :)

[@philipbrowning3544]

Ah I can feel all of my hearts getting refilled! Can I bottle this just in case I’m battling a dungeon boss and… uh… It doesn’t go well? 😅

[@SamanthaBallard]

😂 Yep it's always good to have a bottles ready to go just in case...

[@Goldenfae]

This is such a beautiful cover! 😍 Is it possible to play fairy fountain on a 22 string harp? I just ordered one, and I'm super excited!

[@SamanthaBallard]

Yes it should fit on the range of a 22 string harp!

[@RebbecaWertz]

Beautiful! Love that you played that on your 26 string!

[@SamanthaBallard]

Thanks Becky! Yes I wanted to show that small harps can be beautiful too ^^

[@saientokartivirya4051]

Ohhh this is beautiful. I named my daughter Zelda. The fairy fountain is what I heard in my head when they brought her into the room after birth

[@edwardz.puente8154]
