Tara's Halls
STYE1013 · Solo Harp · Joel Negus
1:32
Solo Instruments, ClassicalEmotional, Introspective, Reflective

Solo harp reading of the traditional Irish air often known as "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls," captured live in a scoring room with natural decay around the strings. At 1:32 it is the shortest cue here, a compact, wistful statement with a clear ending, and its winter/holiday tagging makes it double as a snowfall or heritage piece.

Canon in D
STYE1013 · Solo Harp · Joel Negus
2:36
Solo Instruments, ClassicalElegant, Emotional, Historic

Pachelbel's Canon in D arranged for unaccompanied harp, the familiar descending ground played through with elegant, unhurried phrasing over 2:36. Widely recognisable and formal, it suits ceremony footage and gentle period elegance rather than drama.

Improvisation in A Minor
STYE1013 · Solo Harp · Joel Negus
1:56
Solo Instruments, ClassicalCinematic, Contemplative, Emotional

An original live harp improvisation in A minor: freely phrased, minor-key and moody, with the loose rhythmic feel of a player thinking in real time. Nearly two minutes of intimate, unresolved-feeling reflection that works under dialogue or as a quiet emotional turn.

Impromptu
STYE1013 · Solo Harp · Joel Negus
2:07
Solo Instruments, ClassicalContemplative, Emotional, Intimate

A short original harp impromptu, contemplative and inward, played solo with the room's natural bloom audible around each phrase. At 2:07 it is close kin to the improvisations here but reads a shade more composed and shapely, making it a good standalone interstitial.

Amazing Grace
STYE1013 · Solo Harp · Joel Negus
1:53
Solo Instruments, ClassicalEmotional, Introspective, Reflective

The hymn "Amazing Grace" played on solo harp, its familiar melody carried plainly with room ambience and no accompaniment. Just under two minutes, emotional and devotional, and tagged for winter and holiday use as well as remembrance.

Improvisation in Gb Major
STYE1013 · Solo Harp · Joel Negus
2:08
Solo Instruments, ClassicalCinematic, Contemplative, Emotional

Original live harp improvisation in G-flat major — warmer and more consonant than its minor-key siblings, with flowing arpeggiated phrasing across 2:08. Cinematic and intimate, useful where you want tenderness without a strong tune competing with narration.

Clair de Lune
STYE1013 · Solo Harp · Joel Negus
5:31
Solo Instruments, ClassicalCinematic, Contemplative, Emotional

Debussy's Clair de Lune transcribed for solo harp, and at 5:31 the longest and most fully developed cue on the album, with room to move from hushed opening through its central swell and back down. Highly recognisable and cinematic, best where the music is allowed to lead.

Improvisation in B Major
STYE1013 · Solo Harp · Joel Negus
2:21
Solo Instruments, ClassicalCinematic, Contemplative, Emotional

Original harp improvisation in B major, recorded live and running 2:20 — the longest of the improvised set, giving it a little more room to wander and settle. Bright-leaning but still introspective, with the same intimate solo texture and audible room as the rest.
