Fantastic music on offer and we say bravo!

Debussy clair de lune 🌕 Debussy was born on this day in 1862; could he know in his early twenties that he had composed what would become one of the most memorable classical piece ever?

Although originally written for the piano it works so well on the harp and one can really hear the gentle breeze of a moonlit Summer night.
Oh and can I say just how much I love my disco ball earrings?

QUIZZ 🔊 How many times can you hear the theme (subject) of the fugue in this excerpt❓

This is the exposition of the fugue from 𝓑𝓪𝓬𝓱'𝓼 𝓣𝓸𝓬𝓬𝓪𝓽𝓪 & 𝓕𝓾𝓰𝓾𝓮 𝓲𝓷 𝓓 𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓸𝓻 in which the subject or theme comes back in different voices, weaving this gigantic musical tapestry with a mastery of counterpoint and harmony ➡️ in short terms it's a masterpiece!

Contrary to popular belief and the simple fact that they are many notes, I think Bach's music can be 'easier' to memorise than others due to its sheer logic (or maybe it's just me?)🤷‍♀️

🎥🎶 Check out the full video on my YouTube channel, link in bio.

🤓 So back to my main question, how many times can you hear the theme?

🛑 Today is Bach's 270 years death anniversary and in honour of his musical legacy I am happy to share with you my transcription and live performance of his famous Toccata & Fugue in D minor, played @stmartininthefields in February before the lockdown😷

Although this piece is originally written for the organ (Bach was in his early twenties when he composed it! 😱) there are so many colours which work tremendously well on the harp. What do you think? .

🎨@marcusjlim 3 months ago on this day Marcus Lim came up with the idea to paint portraits of his family and friends to bring people together while apart during the lockdown - connecting through art.

I feel so humbled to have been part of this project and have my portrait painted - thank you 🙏

Check out his other portraits they are truly remarkable and thoughtfully real.

DISCOVER THE HARP with me - I will be leading classes for adults and children starting on the week of 15th of June on Tuesdays at 7pm and Fridays at 4pm. Lots of fun facts and music you'll love plus this is a chance to get all the answers to your harp questions you were too afraid to ask. The great thing is you don't need to have a harp, know anything about it prior to the class and even be in London - it will be over zoom.

So make sure to book a place to save your spot @fireworksmusicschool.
