"Be like the bird" (Abbie Betinis) played on chromatic harp ♪ recorded with RØDE NT5 & Ischell X48C3
0After building a chromatic harp (more details about that in the description of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AdRN2xSOG4 ), I was looking for a short song I could play on the chromatic harp, but which I can't play on my lever harp (lever harp info here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9YwcMt7TOo ).
In choir, we had recently practiced "Be like the bird" by Abbie Betinis (@AbbieBetiniscomposer ) so this song was on my music stand. It has five flats ♭ which is not really possible to play on lever harp (unless you retune the strings or rewrite the song). You can listen to our choir performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MedqjIwuijA
So I chose this as my very first chromatic harp song! I recorded it with video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRbEpuYa9m0&list=PLg2mtqSFBT7l2B6xZ993jk_zzZg_2q0h6&index=2&pp=gAQBiAQB
"Be like the bird" is actually a five-part canon for choir, so I just played the melody once with some extra notes. You can buy the original song here: https://abbiebetinis.com/works/be_like_the_bird.html .

Note: I am just listing my recording equipment for informational purposes! I'm not affiliated with these companies in any way and I bought everything myself. When other people post videos of their recordings, I'm also always interested in how exactly they recorded it, which equipment they used, etc. It's because I wanted to know how I could best record the sound and other people might be looking for similar information.
