The Eternal Harp 永恆的豎琴
1. Various – Medley (Traditional strathspey)
A harp album I came across some time ago while looking for Irish music.
If a flute is like the sound of wind, then the zither is like the sound of rain.
Basically, that means I am, after all, an incarnation of rain.
I’m not the sort of person who goes mad over music, but I do get a certain kind of feeling from it.
Where that feeling comes from, I can’t quite say.
This album is basically Celtic-style harp music.
Some pieces are Irish folk music, others Scottish.
They all sound pretty good, and I couldn’t decide what to choose, so I picked the first track.
Judging from the title, it’s a traditional Scottish strathspey,
and lately I seem to be especially fond of dance tunes, all kinds of them.
To this day I still can’t tell the difference between Irish and Scottish styles;
they’re more or less the same, so forget it.
Celtic harps are just cool, like a bow.
But if you’re playing with both hands, wouldn’t hugging the instrument be a little tiring?…
(What am I worrying about for no reason?)

Well said.
Heh, but if it’s rain, it ought to be a light rain too; the one you mean, though, is probably a downpour…………heh heh.
I’ve listened to the harp less than the bagpipe, but this album feels better than the one we have. The one I have makes me want to fall asleep just from listening to it. And this one seems to have more of a classical, folk feel. Not bad, and occasionally lively too. Good! Good! Support, haha!
Incarnation of rain……
“I’m not the sort of person who goes mad over music, but I do get a certain kind of feeling from it.”
I’m both. But you could say that what originally made me like music and sink into it was a kind of feeling. The feeling of life.
Still, there is exhilaration in music too!
The other day I said that only XX music and XX instruments can make me XXX. I think I just blurted it out then, so it must have been too absolute.
