There are key changes and pedal changes, but the tempo is moderately slow so that the pedal changes are quite manageable. Legend has it tht Robert Burns, Scotland&#8217;s national bard, wrote &#8220;My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose&#8221; after hearing it sung by a country girl. It first appeared in print in 1794, in Petro Urbani&#8217;s Scotts Songs, set to an original tune. &#8220;The Riddle Song&#8221; also known as &#8220;I Gave My Love a Cherry&#8221; is descended from a 15th century English song, which was carried by settlers to the American Appalachians. &#8220;The Twelfth of Never,&#8221; a popular song recorded by Johnny Mathis, is based upon this tune.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This piece was performed by Christa Grix for the 2010 American Harp Society conference in Tacoma, Washington.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Listen to Christa Grix play Love in Bloom:<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Love In Bloom\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2ITYzFOxCTk?start=34&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>Scroll down to listen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Love in Bloom<\/em> is a medley of two Celtic airs for solo pedal harp, arranged by Christa Grix.
