GOLDEN HOUR - JVKE | CELTIC HARP VERSION

GOLDEN HOUR - JVKE | CELTIC HARP VERSION

January 17, 20241 min read

Golden Hour by JVKE is a GORGEOUS love song that came out in 2022.

I first heard it last year and fell in love with it, and had to arrange it for both lever and pedal harp!

Take a listen:

When I was playing at weddings last year, I kept thinking about how great it would be to be able to play this song for my clients.

Most of the time, I arrange things for pedal harp first and then make adjustments to make a lever harp version, but with Golden Hour I actually started on lever harp first, to make sure I'd be able to play it on whichever harp I happened to bring to a wedding gig.

There are a lot of moving parts in this song, so I was worried at first that it would be tough to make it sound good on lever harp especially, but I was so wrong!

I think it sounds really wonderful and a little bit ethereal on the lever harp!

There were some fun challenges in this arrangement and I feel quite clever for figuring them out, hah.
