River Flows in You - Yiruma arr. Sylvia Woods - Harp - Kemp Reweti

Ko au te Hāpa Ko te Hāpa ko au I am the Harp and The Harp is I Three years ago I opened a door into a world of music that I’d never had the courage to walk into. It’s since become a fascinating journey of discipline, hard work and above all perserverance. Discovering the Harp and realising at my first lesson that to master the instrument would take a lifetime was a daunting prospect for someone as impatient as me. But irrespective of the numerous frustrating times that it would have been easier to throw in the towel; the power of music kept bringing me back. Wanting to take my playing further I entered a national harp competition last year and failed dismally not even placing. I decided I would try again this year and put in an entry into the Grade 4/5 division. My entrance video was shoddy, the kids were asleep in the other room and at any moment could have awoken, my wife was working on the table next to me and my iphone recording skills were zero! A few weeks later, by some miracle I received word that I had won! The judge who is a professional harpist in the UK sent me some feedback that encapsulated what my journey with the Harp has been. She said my performance had a “bright and singing tone” and that was what I had believed my journey with music has always been - an extension of my own voice. In this video taken by the talented Nicklin Visuals, I’m playing next to the local Manawatū river which is highly polluted, and as we watch what unfolds in South Dakota, I wanted to dedicate this song to their own peaceful protests in the hope that it highlights the need to respond more meaningfully to our own environmental issues at home. The opening proverb is my own adaptation to part of the famous saying from Whanganui: Ko au te awa Ko te awa ko au I am the River and the River is I When I play the harp I feel its an extension of my own voice in the world. If those spaces are lost then what do we have left… I hope like me, you find those platforms too that extend your voice in positive ways. If you feel it, share it. #noDAPL #findyourvoice #riverflowsinyou
