Rising of the Lark (Codiad yr Hedydd)
Просмотров 119Год назад
As is often the case in traditional music, there are two Welsh tunes with this name. The other is a song usually written in D Major and is played quite briskly, and is what you'll probably find on RUclips if you search for it by this name. This tune is a lovely Welsh air. If it sounds familiary to it, Robert Burns used it for his poem "John Anderson My Jo." Join me every month for a new tune. B...

Had it not been for this video I'd have never tackled this tune. Thank you!
You are most welcome! I'm glad it helped. I have many other videos teaching tunes on my channel. Please feel free to share. Happy Harping!
Thanks Aedan, another great arrangement
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Oh, this is a beautiful tune! ❤️😍

Thank you! This is a really nice and simple version of Brian Boru's March which is playable even on my little 22 string without having going too much high in the strings! Thank you so much for sharing!
You're welcome! Feel free to like, subscribe and share. I teach a new Celtic tune each month. Cheers!
Thanks, Aedan...love this tune. It's so happy.
I thought it was time for something happy. :)
He is so talented
Thank you! :)
I love that you are doing these tune tutors! I feel like you're not getting enough visibility for your hard work and helpfulness!
Thank you! Please feel free to help spread the word. I should probably take a course on social media. 🤔
This is a brilliant tutorial!
Thank you! I teach one new tune a month. You can find them all on my Celtic tune a month channel. ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=aedan+macdonnell+celtic+tune+a+month+channel Feel free to share! Happy Harping!
Ah it’s wonderful! I’ve been asked to play this in C . How gorgeous! Did you make the arrangement yourself?
Thank you Rachel! Yes! I make all my own arrangements on these teaching videos. If you'd like to purchase my arrangement in C, pop me an email and I'll give you the details. harp@harpmuse.com
Wonderful video! So easy to follow for a beginner.
I'm so glad you find it helpful! I teach one new tune a month on RUclips. The latest is Childgrove, a fairly easy dance tune. ruclips.net/video/p26Y3CJA6ic/видео.html
Beautiful, Aedan MacDonell and co: delicate, moving and strong- thanks!!!
Oh WOW !!! You did it :-D BEAUTIFUL. Such a haunting aching piece, I just love it. Will be off to purchase this immediately xx

Tis lovely!
Hey Chris! Thank you! I hope all is well with you. :)
Thank you! 🙏
You're most welcome! Happy Harping!
I'm really enjoying this version. I'm a beginner and your instructions are so good. Please do more. I'd love to play Loch Lomond using this method 🙂
Hi Polly! I'm so glad this has helped you! Thank you for your reply. :) I have quite a lot of RUclips videos teaching different tunes, a little more than 50 tunes! Every month I teach a new tune. I think if you subscribe to my channel you'll be able to find them easier. I also have a Patreon page. For $1 a month you get the sheet music and an MP3 of the music. For $5/mo. you get that plus arrangements for beginners & intermediate harpers, and MP3's of both arrangements. You also get information on the song. www.patreon.com/aedanmacdonnell. Happy Harping!
Beautiful intro of the music and the instruction part is very clear and well presented.
Thank you!
I always wanted to live in a castle.
HaHa! They're cold and drafty, so be sure to take your sweater! :)
@@HarpMuse Reality let me down again!
@@Maris-W Oh No! It can still be a reality. Just be prepared! :)
Sounds wonderful! I have come across this song in O'Neill's Music of Ireland and it is in D major there, but D Dorian sounds much better to me. Are you aware of the reasons why it could be written that way there? I'm fairly new to traditional music and would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!
Hi Elena, A lot of this music is learned by ear, then transcribed after learning it by ear, so in traditional music it's very common to see slightly different versions of the same song. I hope that helps to answer your question. If you have other questions and would like a faster response, you can email me at harp@harpmuse.com. Cheers!
@@HarpMuse thank you for the answer, that clears it up!
@@ElenaKoptevaCello You're welcome! :)
Thank you very much for the tutorial. Love the tune and now thanks to you l will be able to learn it. Thank you from Spain
You are very welcome! I have a lot of other tutorials teaching tunes. I've been putting out one every month since 2018.
The editing, visual effects and music are all amazing.
Thank you Tom!
Thank you Aedan. This was wonderful
Thanks for watching Paulette! 😻
Thank you for the lovely music and the stories.
You are most welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the show. Feel free to share it. :)
Thank you all for a lovely Valentines show. My Honey and I enjoyed all of your performances.
Happy Valentines Day gang!
You too!!
any word on the Valentines Day show?
I’m putting on the final touches and will have the RUclips link ready late tonight. I’ll post it on the Celtic-rhythms.com website, and send out emails. If you’ve received the email I sent a few days ago, you’re on the list. Thanks for checking in!
The "Fingal's Cave" composed by John Gow is actually a different tune. This one is probably older, and traditional.
Thanks for the info! Do you have a link to John Gow's Fingal's Cave?
I got the info that this version was written by John Gow from the Scottish Fiddlers of Los Angeles. FYI.
@@aedanmacdonnell4441 There are a number of tunes with the title "Fingal's Cave" so it's an understandable mistake to make. It doesn't detract from your beautiful playing of the tune. I once played the same tune - on penny whistle - while standing in Fingal's Cave on Staffa in the Hebrides, which was a magical moment!
I love this tune too; sensitively, well-played
I always appreciate these tutorials! Thank you for your hard work :-)
You're welcome! Please feel free to share with others. :)
I could listen after I shielded my eyes with my hand over the musically irrelevant thoracic area.
I bet you say that to all the girls.
This is such a lovely tune. Thank you. Hopefully one day I will be able to add this to my repertoire.
Lovely vid. Just wanted To say Hello before I sleep. See you around xd
Hello!
Thank you for this additional video! Always great to have more to practice with in this time of confinement :-)
Right!?! I see my repertoire expanding exponentially, and will probably share more. Stay well!!
Playing/learning the harp opens the heart to find the best in any situation. Thanks for this happy tune to learn.
You are most welcome! I'm glad I can help in some small way.
thanks so much, Aedan! You really helped me and made it seem pretty simple! You are a good teacher!
You are welcome! I'm glad it helped. Happy Harping!
Thank you for this sweet lullaby, looking forward to learning it! Happy new year
You are welcome! I’m glad you like it. 🌷
Beautiful! Looking forward to learning this piece, thank you so much for your video!
Evolene T You are most welcome!
Thank you / Trugarez ;)
heu non you are most welcome! Please feel free to share.
@@HarpMuse I give you a thumb up and you got one sucriber... I learnt celtic harp alone (with video) I catch a second hand Camac korrigan there couple weeks. Different instrument, less physical than my bagpipe but not easy at all! I'm looking for tutorial like this... And I hope one day play some specific music piece like the Albinoni Adagio or the Moonlight sonata. Do you think it's possible for the Adagio? What tonality you need with the lever (I don't know how to read a sheet music)?
@@Leduenn Thank you for the thumbs up, and subscribing! If you want to eventually play the Albinoni Adagio or Moonlight sonata, you will probably have to get a pedal harp. The lever harps are great and what I specialize in, but for music that is very chromatic (meaning notes appear in the piece that aren't in the key signature), it's very challenging, and sometimes impossible, on the lever harp because the lever harp is not chromatic, where the pedal harp is. But everything you learn on the lever harp can be applied to pedal harp. The key is to find a teacher that will teach you good technique. I do teach via Skype or FaceTime, but if you can find a teacher local to you, that would be best. Good luck on your harp journey!!
