*Love Letters<\/a><\/h3>\n

Rhondda Howland<\/em><\/p>\n

Nothing captures romance quite like a love letter. This original piece by Rhondda Howland draws inspiration from a heartfelt family love letter written from the battlefields of World War II. Howland explains that the “contrasting melodies reflect the shifting emotions and themes within the letter.” Other original, romantic pieces by Howland include “Romance”<\/a> and “Bouquets of Love.”<\/a><\/p>\n

*Barcarolle<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Chuck Bird & Susan Peters<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Chuck Bird and Susan Peters’ arrangement of Jacques Offenbach’s opera masterpiece is very accessible for harpists. Taken from Offenbach\u2019s 1881 opera The Tales of Hoffmann<\/em>, this enchanting piece celebrates a “beauteous night of love” and remains a popular favorite.<\/p>\n

*Your Song<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Michelle Whitston Stone<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What could be more romantic than having a song dedicated to you? Elton John’s timeless love song is a fun pop addition to any Valentine’s Day celebration. This arrangement by Michelle Whitson Stone fits beautifully in the hands and is available for both lever and pedal harp.<\/p>\n

*Winter Waltz<\/a><\/h3>\n

Jacqui Cook<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Waltzes have an undeniable romantic charm, and Jacqui Cook’s original “Winter Waltz” captures that magic perfectly. Ideal for the chilly month of February, this piece is richly<\/span> melodic and features rolled 7th chords in the bass, adding a more lush, and romantic depth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh Quand Je Dors<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Lise Vandersmissen<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

When suggesting romantic music, we can’t overlook Franz Liszt, a quintessential composer of the Romantic era. Originally written for voice and piano, this piece features stunning vocal melodies. Lise Vandersmissen’s arrangement brings it to life, utilizing the harp’s full range.<\/p>\n

*Wildflowers<\/a><\/h3>\n

Heather Cornelius<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This charming and relaxing piece, composed by Harp Column\u2019s own Heather Cornelius, offers a delightful chance for harpists to explore expressive melodies and dynamic nuance. Designed for advanced beginners, it has a polished sound that feels more intricate than its level of difficulty.<\/p>\n

Je te Veux<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Valerie Saint Martin<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Another charming waltz to include on our list is this playful and romantic gem by Erik Satie. With its soaring melodies and lush rolled chords the piece is stunning, and Valerie Saint Martin’s arrangement is immensely satisfying to play.<\/p>\n

*Myfanwy<\/a><\/h3>\n

arr. Meinir Heulyn<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

While researching music for a Welsh wedding client, I discovered this Welsh tune by Joseph Parry, arranged by Meinir Heulyn. Its beautiful melody immediately captivated me. Delving deeper, I learned that Parry is said to have composed it with his childhood sweetheart in mind, making it a perfect choice for celebrating the month of love!<\/p>\n
