^ Hallo again, tore! Nice clip, and what an unusual voice.

This guy, as well, seems to be an obvious choice for this thread, although he hasn`t been mentioned yet :-

A belated thanks to Tore, Lisnaholic, skaltezon, Phantom, and Zaqarbal for your harp song contributions.

I especially liked "She's Leaving Home" by The Beatles because I hadn't recalled that the song includes harp. I also liked the exotic-sounding harp and Catalan vocal piece by Arianna Savall. Its lyrics seemed profound, based on what I understood of the German translation:

"Northbound Train" by Martin Phipps,
from the soundtrack of the BBC's "North and South"

The placid harp made the somber yet sweet song memorable to me. I especially like the moment when the song builds in speed and energy around 1:50 as it shifts through major chords and then swells with the entry of the strings, warming toward its happy resolution

^ Glad you liked Arianna Savall.

Now, some Marxist music:

Guardian Angels (music by Harpo, lyrics by Gerda Beilenson) was sung, among others, by Mario Lanza.
