Description

The harp tag encompasses music prominently featuring the harp's distinctive plucked or strummed strings, producing ethereal, cascading tones that evoke elegance and tranquility. This sound spans classical compositions, Celtic folk traditions, contemporary art pop, and ambient new age music. The instrument's angelic quality lends itself to both intimate solo performances and lush orchestral arrangements.
