Brisbane Harpist - Sally Beaumont
Harp Music for Weddings, Receptions and Functions
Song List
My extensive repertoire (listed below) includes traditional and popular wedding songs, classical harp music, Irish, Scottish and Welsh harp music, as well as Medieval/Renaissance music, some hymns and some other less-well-known (but very beautiful!) music written specifically for the harp.
I have recorded samples of some of the songs (those written in red text). These are not the complete songs, just enough to give you an idea. Please click on the red text to listen.
Also, please be aware that these recordings are not of a professional standard and are just intended to aid in your selection of music. The sound quality of the harp will be much better live.
If you have a song in mind that isn't included in my list, please contact me to find out if it would be suitable on the harp as I may be able to find or write an arrangement of it for you at no extra charge.
If you're planning a wedding ceremony, you may like to view my suggestions for ceremony music here.
