Harpist Janet King: Listen Here!!
Here are sound samples. Many of these clips feature my harp, flute, & cello trio, and there is trumpet as well, but all music can be performed equally well on the harp alone, or in ensemble with different combinations of instruments.
(These sound samples are intended to let you hear what my music sounds like, not as a menu for you to choose music from. It's not the best list for that -- call me to discuss music selection. For more information on each clip, click on the music title.)

Pachelbel's Canon in D

Everyone's favorite! The new traditional march for the bridal party. It can be played on the harp alone, or with any combination of instruments. Here, you hear it with harp, flute, and cello.
Pachelbel's Canon in D
(Harpist Janet King, trio)
This is the famous Canon, performed with trumpet and cello. We recorded this live at a church wedding ceremony, performed while the bride walked down the aisle. You hear the harp alone first, then joined by trumpet and cello. What a great combination! Note how we time the music exactly for the length of time that the bride took to walk down the aisle.
Ave Maria
(Harpist Janet King, with Trumpet and cello)
This Ave Maria was recorded live at a church wedding. It features trumpet, with harp and cello.
