Morning Has Broken ☀️ / in the style of Cat Stevens / harp cover

🙏 A prayer of healing for Kathe, Marie & Novi 💗
Ever since I read The Phantom Tollbooth, I have been fascinated with the idea of musicians playing the sunrise. With this song, I imagined I was doing just that!
I love how each morning is a fresh start -- so hopeful and full of possibility -- while the rest of the day is a mystery waiting to be unraveled.
And I love how this song is so joyful and grateful for the infinite beauty of God's great creation.
I'm indebted to Cat Stevens for the inspiration for this arrangement. I have paraphrased the piano and guitar parts here to the best of my ability by ear.
This morning I took a walk and heard birds singing, and for the first time it felt like SPRING! What are you most looking forward to this spring?

Dear Patrick, thank you so much for all your kind words! 🥰 You truly are like a guardian angel for me, saying all the things I need to hear just when I need to hear them. 😊 I got your message yesterday when I was preparing to perform at church for Christmas Eve Mass! Yes, I finally was able to perform again and it was wonderful! I am happy to report that one health problem has been resolved, so things are looking up. Your words yesterday were just the encouragement I needed. I am so grateful my music has touched you...your kindness has truly touched me. 🥰 I hope you have had a beautiful and wonderful Christmas! Wishing you many blessings in the New Year!

Thank you 🥰

[@gratefulGung]

It is LOVELY! Do you offer this as sheet Music?

[@praywiththeharp]

Thank you so much! 💗 I have to admit I am new to arranging...so not yet...but stay tuned and I'll see what I can do!

[@gratefulGung]

@@praywiththeharp Thank you 💚 for the time and I hope you’re having a nice day. Are you playing on a Troubadour?

[@gratefulGung]

I apologize for suggesting a Troubadour; I should have commented that the harp was lovely too!

[@praywiththeharp]

@@gratefulGung no worries! It's actually my Salvi pedal harp. Do you play a troubadour harp? The song could easily be arranged for troubadour harp in the key of C with no accidentals...only I'm not sure how many octaves you have?

[@gratefulGung]

@@praywiththeharp Watching you play made me remember my first harp, 1995’ Troubadour with a deep appreciation of that sweet instrument! I bought it used, through my instructor’s finding. Now, I have been lent a Weaver Laurel Leaf Lever Harp - that has 6 octaves
