Doing my bit to get you all into the Christmas spirit with a true classic by good old Tchaik! Ballet mesmerised me as a child and I remember many happy winter evenings dancing in my living room to his music. I have always loved tuned percussion and the celesta has forever been a firm favourite of mine. I get SO HAPPY every time it features in a piece or a film score. It was nice pretending to be one for this arrangement, although I don’t know if I could ever be quite so twinkly.
I want to also dedicate this video to Peter Cunningham, one of the wonderful founders of British harp makers, Pilgrim Harps. Peter very sadly passed away recently after a battle with cancer - to honour his memory and support others who suffer this terrible disease, Pilgrim launched a Christmas Charity Video Campaign to raise money for Cancer Research in December which raised over £800 in Pete’s honour - a great effort by UK harpists for a great man! RIP Pete.
