It's been a long time that I wanted to cover "How To Train Your Dragon" original soundtrack. The number of accidentals and tonal changes was very challenging for the lever harp!

[@aedifexnailo6837]

Absolutely phenomenal! A beautiful soundtrack on a beautiful instrument. Finding this was the best part of my evening.

[@arnaudbannier]

Thank you so much! The Dragon OST is just amazing ❤

[@Old_Klepto_Nite]

I've never seen anyone enjoy the music they make as much as harp players

[@arnaudbannier]

Haha, I try to make an effort on the videos not to look too concentrated.

[@roserichards1460]

Not to down play harpist in ny way but have you ever seen the flutist from Wagaki Band? Chooms mad hyped about that flute lots of energy.

[@arnaudbannier]

I hadn't heard of him before, but he's a real performer!

[@yoomikooo3633]

this needs more attention ! this is too beautiful. i genuinely want you at my wedding to play this hooolyyyyy

[@arnaudbannier]

Haha thank you! But I only do this in my spare time, you'll have to be satisfied with the videos!

[@davesmusic5330]

I wish I could give this more likes.😊

[@arnaudbannier]

Thanks a lot! I imagine that leaving a comment is a bit like adding an extra "like" 😉

[@JC-dk7nb]

That's one of the most amazing things I've heard for a while. Subscribed. Might even try to learn it on my harp

[@rophmusic]

LOVE me some HTTYD and harp, when you started doing Forbidden Friendship that was awesome 😍 That was great, fantastic translation too 💯

[@arnaudbannier]

Thanks a lot! Indeed, there is a common passage with "Forbidden Friendship". For me, it was the middle of "Romantic Flight" :D

[@scoutan3847]

Wah ! Je cherchais ce morceau pour le reproduire je suis aussi harpiste mais la... tu es loiiiiinnns devant moi haha j'ai encore beaucoup à apprendre 😂😂 Bravo c'est magnifique 😍

[@scoutan3847]

Je suis bretonne aussi de Brest même ! Tu donne des cours ? 😊

[@arnaudbannier]

Merci beaucoup pour ton message ! La partition est disponible dans la description si tu veux apprendre le morceau. Je ne donne pas de cours, mais comme je suis du côté de Rennes, ça aurait été compliqué de toute façon ;)

[@Kjevv]

This is incredible. Definitely among the best things I have ever heard on KZbin. Thank you!!

[@arnaudbannier]

Thank you so much! It really encourages me to continue 😊

[@jeanniesnider1721]

That is so beautiful. My favorite trilogy too!

[@BeccaMichaelson]

What a beautiful job! I had a smile on my face the whole time :)

[@arnaudbannier]

Thank you, that's one of the best compliments you can give to a musician!

[@Harpsibored]

Wait, you're asking me about MY mixing?!?! Whaaat yours sounds 31902039x better lmao. Such beautiful, bright and clean playing!!!

[@arnaudbannier]

Yes really! To be honest, it's your cover of "breezy" that I used as a reference for this mix, and I think it is my best mix so far. You help me a lot to eq my harp 😉

[@mrpiglinboy5204]

OMG this is soo good!

[@denisemayosky1955]

I watch the video to get a feel for how to pluck the strings just right. You should do a video on harp techniques. Unrelated note: for the first few times I saw you, the thing that popped in my mind was "Hey, there's the guy who played Spiderman!"

[@arnaudbannier]

Haha, it's only on KZbin that I'm told that I look like spiderman, never in real life! Thanks for the video suggestion, I'll think about it.

[@alycaecilia]

I am so impressed by your playing skills and technique, but most importantly by your lightness and quiet enjoyment while playing. The part where you switched the hooks on the harp so effortless and securely was great to watch. Keep going like that 🌸 🎶 Greetings from Germany!

[@arnaudbannier]

Thank you so much Aly! The part with lots of lever changes was not easy, I had to practice for a month to get it right 😉

[@alycaecilia]

@@arnaudbannier Yet very impressive since the result of your hard work has paid off 😊 That was inspirational. Take care!

[@Jamiey-]

F wow!

[@s.e.1184]

Magnifique! I want to play this version but man, that's a lot of lever changes throughout the song! I'm playing Test Drive right now (also HTTYD).

[@arnaudbannier]

Thanks a lot! In my arrangement, there are a lot of lever changes during the transition from Romantic Flight to Test Drive. If you play only one of the two tracks, there's not so much change ;) The score is available in the description.

[@violetfifi]

❤❤❤

[@arnaudbannier]

Thanks 😊

[@mhart3D]

Very nice harp arrangement. Do you have a Spotify where we can listen to other harp arrangements?

[@arnaudbannier]

Thank you! But no, I don't have spotify account for now. My music is only available on KZbin. I will think about going to other platforms if my music becomes more popular.

[@zypperhhh]

Très beau ! Merci pour ce magnifique morceau. Dis moi, je connais pas en détails la harpe et je t'ai vu toucher à des "boutons" au dessus des cordes, ça sert à quoi ?

[@arnaudbannier]

Un grand merci ! Les leviers en haut des cordes permettent de changer la longueur de vibration de la corde. C'est le même principe que les frettes sur une guitare, mais il n'y en a qu'un par corde. Par exemple, quand le levier est baissé sur une corde rouge on a un do et quand il est levé on a un do#. Tous les leviers changent la note associée d'un demi-ton.

[@arnaudbannier]

Thanks a lot!

[@Acertab-yc2eg]

How many strings? Also what's a harp like that cost if you want to learn? Amazing music man!

[@arnaudbannier]

Thanks! This harp has 34 strings. A lever harp costs between 2000 and 8000€. But I didn't buy my harp before I started. I imagine that other manufacturers also offer this, but Camac harps rents study harps for beginners. In addition, they offer a reduced price if you want to buy a harp you've been renting for a while ;)

[@Acertab-yc2eg]

Thanks!@@arnaudbannier
