The Nightingale - Harpist in the Wild

[@JoshLayne]

If you want to play The Nightingale, you can find the sheet music at Deborah Henson-Conant's website, www.hipharp.com/ I did a Harp Tuesday episode on playing the ornaments in The Nightingale: www.harptuesday.com/ep-170-playing-fast-ornaments-featuring-the-nightingale/

Very lovely, got the sheet music waiting for me. This will help a lot as a Reference 😀

[@moirbasso7051]

Mr. Layne- you don't know how inspiring you are to others, who just want to go play in a field, and let the world go by, while engrossed in making music on such a glorious instrument as the harp. Thank you.

[@hipharpist]

So wonderful, Josh - wonderful playing, wonderful video - it's always such a pleasure to collaborate with you in every way.

All Harpist in the Wild episodes are a treat to watch but I found this one especially beautiful.

[@luxxianalux6769]

The scenery and the harpist… mesmerizing!!!

[@JoshLayne]

Thanks!

[@msavard0]

That was absolutely beautiful and exquisitely played! Thank you for this episode!!

[@marytraynham2202]

Josh's facial expressions show much pleasure in the music.

Per suonare così non basta tanta scuola e un buon strumento. Serve un cuore pieno di cose belle e un'anima nobile. benedetta Deborah e benedetto sia tu. ILY.

Thank You Josh, you played it beautifully. Quite a hypnotic piece. DHC’s story about her mother singing to her every night when she was a child. When she she passed away. “Who will sing for the Nightingale”. A truly beautiful composition drives straight to the heart. Thank You for sharing. One of my favourite pieces.

So beautiful❤❤❤❤

Beautiful 😍 ❤🎉😊

To say "I enjoyed this" doesn't even come close to the extreme pleasure hearing and watching this captivating video gave me. This piece is SO emotive (especially when you know the lyrics and back story) and Josh - you played it with so much feeling. You combined tenderness and lament with rigour and power in a way that was quite breathtaking. The setting was tremendous ... the tree, the strength of that wind blowing all around you was so powerful in every way (I can hardly believe with all that wind that what we heard is the actual sound recording from on site!). You make me want to pick up my harp and head outdoors! Thanks so much for doing this Josh and for sharing it with us :)

[@carpenanne]

Stunning, one of my favourites and of course such a treat to hear you play it Josh 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@jeanninekoshear2872]

Absolutely a transporting experience, to watch and listen! Thanks to you Josh, for such a wonderful interpretation of this work!

[@annlawler8590]

Gorgeous, Josh. I loved the music, the location, and the breeze which turned to wind! Ann

[@terrill5076]

Came back to watch this for Mother’s Day. So beautifully played. Thank you.

[@okorolina]

I absolutely love this song and wow, you played it wonderfully! And the field you are in is stunning.

[@gutsandgrittv5076]

Such a joy to watch you perform, thank you Josh!

[@phyllisalden9983]

Every time I hear you play this, I am both transported and inspired. I'm Learning a very basic version (I'm a beginner) with my teacher.

[@Maris-W]

Such a lovely performance. I was late, but glad I did get to see and hear it.

[@jasminbeckerharp]

Simply beautiful and inspiring! Your rendition of this piece combined with the wonderful setting brings out the best of this arrangement! This song is definitely on my list of pieces I want to learn. Thank you for the video 🎶🍀

[@andreapretzler]

Such a wonderful piece of music, interpretation and location. Absolutely wonderful!

[@kristinewarmhold]

Beautiful 😍😍😍

[@sandragayle7866]

Hi, Josh I thought since today is my birthday I will listen to you play the harp for me. As I said you are my favorite harpist and I love your passion for our beautiful instrument. So I will start with this song and go through some of your early songs like the four seasons and there are others I enjoy as well. Today I am just taking it easy. So thank you for playing for my special day. This October 17th is a beautiful day with cool winds and mild sunshine and perfect for the harp. Later i will be playing my beautiful Dusty Strings Ravenna 34. Now it's time for my concert from you. Cheers!

[@crystalliz2618]

I love how you played this with such beautiful emotion. Thank you for sharing this uplifting piece.

[@mtdavis9]

Played so beautifully! I’m just learning Chirping of the Nightingale. I will practice w different tempos. You made the Nightingale ur own! Lovely!

[@user-jy1jj3fl7l]

BRILLIANT, I love these videos, I could watch and listen to you all day

[@ritaventer9294]

Absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Takes you to far places......

[@elizabethdexter3779]

Wow I love this piece and the scenery added to the relaxing mood

[@musicnoobpentragon3474]

So inspiring and beautiful! And very calming too, it left me feeling very serene and at peace with myself. The nature definitely worked with you there :D

[@ruththomson4601]

Josh: you are the only other person besides DHC I will allow, in my hearing, to play Nightingale. So different in your interpretation, and beautiful. Thanks. Ruth

[@jacquelinetouchie9218]

Needed this this morning. Thank you

[@alfredbooth6854]

Absolutely exquisite playing. Thank you so much.

[@valeriebeckyoga4569]

[@Ramir_Almeida]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece. I really love your channel.

[@karenharrison9786]

Beautiful!

[@ingridr4374]

Beautiful! Bravo!!

[@caroleadams5050]

This made my day! Thank you!

[@jayg8997]

That was so beautiful. Thank you 😊

[@laragarner7920]

Very nice. Your playing is always beautiful. Josh, can you do a harp Tuesday on comparing Russian harp technique to French and Salzedo? I would really appreciate that since you break things down so clearly when analysing technique.

[@lyndavonrader3272]

Can’t wait!!! And, just so you know, if you get an extraordinary amount of views on this video…. they’re mine 🤣

[@JoshLayne]

Hehe :)

[@peiqipianoharpprogress2415]

thank you Josh, you played it so freely and beautifully. Wish I can learn this piece soon too. Do you mind sharing how do you record your harp when you are outdoor? you mentioned you put the recorder inside, may I know what do you use? Thank you🍀

[@lovetoplayharp]

Josh, you mentioned that you put your recorder inside your harp. Can I ask what recorder you use? Did you put some kind of soft covering on it, so it wouldn't rattle or how did you attach it inside? Thank you. Loved the video.

[@cne911]

Beautiful! What maker and style is your lever harp?

[@ontarioweddingofficiant9691]

which version are you playing? there are 3 versions on her harp sheet music?

[@stevefranklin9176]

It would be the Solo Ontario I’d say.
