Favorite Thing to Play - #Harpril - Day 11

Favorite Thing to Play - #Harpril - ​
​Day 11

I have been thinking about this one for several days now and
I really can't come up with a favorite song to play!

There is an arrangement of Greensleeves that I've played
for several years now that I really like.

Hymns are fun because I can sing along in my head as I play.

I have found some classical songs enjoyable because there are no words
and it's all about dynamics and feeling the song.

Then there are popular songs that always get a reaction,
like Disney and love songs.

I played for communion at my church this past Palm Sunday
and uploaded  a couple of videos on Youtube.
I had been asked to play several months ago and did some research for music,
asked in a harpists group, and even printed sheet music
but just wasn't feeling right about what I had.
In my head I kept arranging "When I Survey" and knew I needed to go with it.
A few days and several hours of practice later
I had two arrangements somewhat written out.
After tweaking a little here and there
and wanting to time it right with the communion being served
I took my printed sheet music, scribbles and notes to church.

Here are the recordings of the arrangements:
When I Survey with Near the Cross
& 
There is a Redeemer with Christ the Lord is Risen Today and Low in the Grave He Lay
