RE: [Harp-L] Howard Levy Amazing Grace- The "Drone" part

["Mike Snowden" <mike.snowden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Exactly right- it's tongue blocking/splitting.  Where Howard is so amazing
on this is the breadth of the tongue block.   We were lucky enough to see
him some weeks ago in London - and since then, my teacher has been working
on this.  The killer is the 3+9 blow, which needs to be very deep in the
mouth.

For $1.00, you can purchase Howard Levy doing this traditional hymm. Its
incredible. The melody seems simple We all know it. Howard is playing G on a
crossed C harp The real clincher is this part where is playing the melody
but sustaining an almost "bagpipe" drone at the same time. Has anyone tried
this technique. How does this work? Its almost your playing the harp from
both sides of your mouth at the same time. Thats the best way I can describe
it.
Thanks for any comments
