Made popular during the pandemic, driveway concerts or park pop-up concerts are a great way to get low-pressure performing experience.”If you\u2019ve been thinking about putting together a concert yourself, but don\u2019t know what to perform, we\u2019ve got you covered. This playlist includes unique, captivating, well-known, and \u201charpy\u201d melodies that any audience will enjoy. It is also a great introduction to learn the capabilities of the harp for those who may have never seen or heard one before. From pop, to classical, jazz, ragtime, and more, your bases are covered to surely WOW your audience.<\/p>\n

Akiko<\/a><\/h3>\n

Fabio Rizza<\/em><\/p>\n

This Japanese haiku-inspired piece is SO hauntingly beautiful! It\u2019s melody, harmonies, and pitch bending lever slides are honestly captivating. I cannot wait to perform it at my next driveway concert and integrate it into my gig book.<\/p>\n

What The World Needs Now is Love<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Michelle Whitson Stone<\/em><\/p>\n

With everything going on in the world the last few months, there is nothing more perfect for a driveway concert than this Burt Bacharach pop song! This jazzy waltz is such fun to perform for audiences. Whitson Stone has both an intermediate and advanced version available.<\/p>\n

The Entertainer<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Darhon Rees-Rohrbacher<\/p>\n

Ragtime is always a fun addition to a concert and this timeless classic in particular is always a crowd favorite! It is both a joy to play the famous melody and to see the smiles on your audience members\u2019 faces. This collection includes a lever harp solo, pedal harp solo, and a duet version for both lever or pedal harps.<\/p>\n

Claire de Lune <\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Maria Luisa Rayan<\/em><\/p>\n

Although this is an advanced level piece, this Debussy classic really is a must-have for every harpist\u2019s gig book. It is a great addition to many gig playlists for the years to come. Plus, audiences LOVE it. It is a piece they recognize, not to mention that it is also incredibly soothing, beautiful, and showcases the range of the harp.<\/p>\n

Songs of Hope<\/a><\/h3>\n

Eira Lynn Jones<\/em><\/p>\n

Socially distanced performances and uncertain times\u00a0100% call for \u201csongs of hope.\u201d This collection has three beautiful, healing pieces with \u201charpy\u201d melodies to help ease your audience\u2019s minds. My favorite is \u201cAnother Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rolling in the Deep<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Janne-Minke Nijp<\/em><\/p>\n

In my experience when you have an audience hearing harp for the first time, they are always impressed when you can play songs that they know. This upbeat, smash pop hit by Adele is a perfect addition to your driveway concert\u2014you\u2019ll probably hear people singing the words along! Nijp has easy and advanced versions of her arrangement.<\/p>\n

La Harpe Blanche<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sabine James<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a really neat collection of original tunes for the harp. Each tune has a unique vibe to it. The pieces are very melodic, rhythmic, romantic, etc. in a variety of genres such as pop, jazz, swing, and more. Note: This collection will definitely test your rhythmic counting abilities, so if you\u2019re looking for something easy to sight-read for your gig book, this may not be the one for you. But, if you have some time to devote to learning these pieces, you\u2019ll really enjoy the variety of showy tunes here.<\/p>\n

This Is My Father\u2019s World<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Pam Ohms<\/em><\/p>\n

I personally hold my driveway concerts on Sunday afternoons, so I always like to include one sacred piece on my program for those who worship on Sunday. This improvisational Christian hymn arrangement is really lovely. Ohms uses a very \u201charpy\u201d arpeggiated accompaniment and some unusual minor chords to add depth to the arrangement.<\/p>\n

The Blue Danube<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Meinir Heulyn<\/em><\/p>\n

Another crowd favorite! This glorious Strauss waltz appeals to both adults and children. I think it makes a great ending piece to a concert because it is so much fun. Heulyn has two versions of this piece\u2014for a simpler and shorter version, see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
