Here is gentle music I play on folk harp. These compositions are in a calming improvisational style perfect for meditation, reading, cuddling, making love, falling asleep, or even just breathing. Namasté ~Joan Patrie. Note: please listen in a safe quiet place where it’s okay to dose off (not driving)

    a theme in C Mixoydian season 2, episode 33.  8m11s.  2020 April 23rd [DR40 file 1866] Joan’s bla-bla-bla about playing modally:  C is the I chord (or root key) in this piece.  Relative to the Ionian 'diatonic' tuning, it would be said that I have my harp “tuned in F” (with a flatted B, relative to C Major scale [a.k.a., modally speaking, Ionian mode in C]).  So, in F, my harp is in Ionian mode (a.k.a. F Major [in common practice]).  But I'm not playing in F; I'm playing in C (with a flatted 7th [the B], which makes it Mixolydian mode).  Have I confused you yet?  No worries.  Just listen, and be calmed
