Last evening I sort of stumbled over a Highland Session clip where they sang Mo Ghille Mear. This morning I looked for it, found an amazing version and went to buy a whole album of that choir:
Invisible Stars: Choral Works of Ireland & Scotland - album download
UCD Choral Scholars, Desmond Earley
And 5 minutes later I sort of managed to play it on the harp.

For the harp notation question above, I should have mentioned:

Question for #harp players (or others who know):
Is this reasonably playable? Tempo is quarter = 68.
If so, which is a better way to notate it?
Here's option 1, with relatively intelligible pitch spellings. This way, I hope the pedaling isn't too bad, since you can keep one foot on C and the other on E the whole time, but I think you might get unwanted buzzing, especially when the E changes in m4.

11/52 Harmony in E flat
Two photographers, two minds - who both had the same idea. Funny enough. So we did the shooting together on Sunday. Once again a great opportunity to see how different the results can be when photographing the same subject. Thank you @marion4life and I'm looking forward to your interpretation of this wonderful instrument.
Had a very nice week playing Don Juan by Richard Strauss and a premiere in The Netherlands: Dawson’s Negro Folk Symphony based on African-American melodies with Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra with live registration on NPO Klassiek. #harp #orchestra
My first 'harmonics' on harp strings on video.
