Oxfordshire Harpists

Hire an Oxfordshire Wedding Harpist

The tone of the harp is inherently dreamy, even romantic to a degree, and this, coupled with astute song choices such as Beethoven's Ode to Joy and Wagner's Bridal Chorus, is what makes our Oxfordshire harpists an increasingly popular choice for wedding breakfasts, wedding processions and wedding receptions – the subtle melodies, melding with the tangible air of blissful excitement, will for those few precious moments help the happy couple's guests transcend reality. The gently plucked harp strings will also elevate private dinner functions, birthday parties, corporate events and charity events to new levels of serenity and pleasure. Any event you wish to score with uplifting music that won't disrupt your guests' conversations and doesn't take up too much room would be improved tenfold with the inclusion of an Oxfordshire harpist from Bands for Hire.

Many classical and romantic composers were infatuated with the harp, with many sonatas, minuets and suites being penned by the likes of Mozart, Bach and Handel – and our Oxfordshire harpists have mastered a great deal of these, as well as other originally written for the oboe, flute and violin. They also have a penchant for translating contemporary and popular music in the harp's distinct dialect – everyone from Mr Bojangles to Mr Tambourine Man is given a new voice. Jazz standards work particularly well on the harp – especially those by Gershwin, Berlin and Porter from the Great American Songbook – and so do more recent chart-toppers by the Eurythmics, Christina Aguilera, the Beach Boys, the Beatles and Coldplay. And as if this wasn't enough of a selection, the ears of your guests will be charmed by familiar themes from the movies, television and the stage – Winnie the Pooh, Aladdin, Titanic, Les Miserables and the Flintstones all make an appearance when you hire an Oxfordshire harpist from us.
