I like this a lot - very atmospheric and cinematic. The low sounds make a good contrast with the harp, and I like the changing harmonies.

Thanks for using the harp sample!

My wedding took place on a rainy May day in Kansas City. The colors were rich and lovely—deep cloud blues, punctuated by stark wispy whites, the firecracker “pop” of grasses made wonderfully green by the contrast of dark atmospherics.
I find this kind of juxtaposition and contrast a grand thing—a portent of the rich spectacle which is day to day living. Were I to do the ceremony again, I’d want the rain to fall from dark clouds as we walked past garlands of greenery on church pews towards the white of the sanctuary alter.

I had hoped that someone—an organist, a string quartet, could play Satie’s second and third “Gymonpedies”, as a kind of meditation on joy, as I find so often that odes to joy are less joyful than the thing itself, a thing for quiet contemplation and wonder. Yet in the long run, all the meditation was in the mental kingdom which lies within—and perhaps that’s as it should be.

The problem I have in life is that people find laments where I find the joy of rain falling on Spring greenery. I would play this harp at any festive event.
