I know what you’re thinking, “I’m so sick of all these harp collections!” This is a nice sampling of harp music from around the world. Since the harp isn’t the most exciting instrument there is, it’s all rather calm and occasionally music-boxy. But it’s all very pretty. Check out especially:

2. Gorgeous Chinese konghou, slow & classical.
3. Celtic harp duet w/a medieval feeling.
4. Spanish harp/drum/strings blend. Kind of pretty.
8. Paraguayan harp, percussion, more upbeat.
12. A classical, Latin-themed piece. Well played.
13. Slow & quiet, but eventually lyrical and relaxing.
