0.000 HBDCuriosities of the instruments, the harp and Fan Art Rising Star.
Greetings to all the dear friends of Rising Star. I am excited to share with you a new article on my blog. Today I want to tell you some interesting facts about a very beautiful and interesting instrument, I mean: the harp. And, of course, at the end of the post I will present you as usual some fan art I have made inspired by our beloved game, Rising Star. Without more to add, let's start. <div class="text-center">  <sub>Source: Canva</sub> </div> The harp is one of the oldest instruments that have accompanied mankind throughout history. Its origin dates back to time immemorial. It was known in such ancient civilizations as Assyria, Egypt, Israel, and also in Greece. It is estimated that the harp has been around since at least the year 3500. Imagine that, that's quite a long time. For example, in the Bible, it is even mentioned. <div class="text-center">  <sub>[Source](https://unsplash.com/es/fotos/sillas-acolchadas-blancas-y-negras-con-marco-de-madera-marron-1J9dYe4wkEI)</sub> </div> - Did you know that playing the harp requires very high skill and dexterity? This stringed instrument is a real challenge. Because its number of strings and its size will scare more than one, plus it is complex to grip and reach the strings that are farther away from its operator. - The modern harp has a design that is very impressive. It consists of a triangular frame, a set of strings and a mechanism of pedals or levers that allow the tuning of the strings to be changed. This is what allows musicians to play in different keys and keys. The body of the harp, usually made of wood, has a curved and elegant shape. The neck holds the strings that extend from the top to the base of the instrument. <div class="text-center">  <sub>[Source](https://pixabay.com/es/illustrations/arpa-m%C3%BAsica-hiedra-8388517/)</sub> </div> The harp has had a special place in various cultures. In ancient Egypt, it was a sacred instrument used in religious ceremonies. During the Middle Ages, troubadours and minstrels used it to accompany their songs and narrations. Today, its versatility has led it to form part of musical genres as diverse as classical music, folk and jazz. Even pop and rock music have found a place. - The Oldest Harp, The Brian Boru Harp, dating from the 14th century, is the oldest known harp and is a national symbol of Ireland. It is housed in the National Museum of Ireland. - The harp is the National Instrument of Ireland, and is a cultural symbol of great importance. - Playing the harp, known as “arpeggiating”, involves plucking the strings in ascending or descending order, producing its sound. Did you know? <div class="text-center">  <sub>[Source](https://pixabay.com/es/photos/arpa-m%C3%BAsica-instrumento-musical-955072/)</sub> </div> - Most modern harps are made of wood and are often covered with lambskin for a brighter sound and have 47 strings. ## Fan Art by Rising Star **Now, changing the subject, I present to you friends My post #53 about some of the fan art I have made with the help of DALL-E, inspired by our beloved game, Rising Star. In this particular post I have again used the theme of the cards along with several elements from the game. For example I have added the star as it could not be otherwise, some instruments and singers to give more personality to the images. Some of the images also have futuristic and retro touches. I have also added some sceneries and concerts.** *The images are free to use and you can use them and remove them from this publication without any problem. I reiterate that they have been made by me with the help of Dall-E.* *I hope you have enjoyed this tour through the history and curiosities of the harp. And that you liked the fan art. See you in a new publication.*
