Wonderscape | Instrumental Hammered Dulcimer Music | Joshua Messick
"Wonderscape" is an original composition from my upcoming 2024 album. Download/stream: bit.ly/Wonderscape
Wonderscape is a creative and imaginative term that combines "wonder" and "landscape." I interpret it as an enchanting place filled with wonders and beauty, like a magical or dreamlike landscape. Nature inspires me to create music, and I'm in awe of the beauty in this world. "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." (Psalm 19:1 ESV)

I may be a bit weird in saying this, but you Mr. Messick have taken a beautiful song and made it sound even more beautiful.....holy moly, how neat!

Beyond beautiful!!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! 😊
Such a beautiful instrument and wonderfully played.
I am also a musician (guitar, piano, want to learn harph) and you are very inspiring! Also, your music helps me overcome my currently painful part of life. Thank you! I will buy some of your digital albums and LPs, are you sending to Europe?
Thanks so much!! My love and prayers are with you during this part of life. I'd be happy to send them to Europe. You can purchase a physical copy (CD or Vinyl) at JoshuaMessick.com. I appreciate you!

Whew 😰 It’s nice to be past that threshold.
The first time I ever heard 'Scarborough Fair' was in the early Fall of 1974, when I was a kid, and listening to one of my parents' Simon & Garfunkel tapes. I found myself absolutely captivated by their version of the song, and have loved it ever since. Hard to believe that happened 50 years ago this year. Where did the time go? It's also amazing to see how the original form of this song still endures and remains popular even though it first came out sometime in the 14th century in England. This version is a deep, rich and beautiful cover of the same song that gives nothing away to the original. Two thumbs up!
Hey Steve, thanks a bunch for sharing that experience with me! Music has this fantastic way of taking us places and returning incredible memories. Your attentive listening and thoughtful comments mean a lot to me. Let's stay in touch. Feel free to reach out to me at JoshuaMessick.com.
I love your music!!! joshua?
Superb sounds as shared.
Many thanks!
If I was a bear in the forest, I'd sneak up behind a nearby tree and enjoy.

Haha! ;-) Thanks for watching.
thank you!
You're welcome!
Music to dream by.
Thanks so much, Robert!
Yes good piece. Really deep.
Thanks!!
So beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Gorgeous arrangement! ❤
Thank you! It was a joy to compose this.

Is this where i toss a coin to the witcher?
Просто потрясающе! Так нежно, так красиво, аж до слез) Очень люблю эту песню❤
2024年6月19日 水曜日 ルカの福音書24章 24章に渡るイエスの記録について、テオフィロは何を思ったことでしょう。自分にイエスを知って欲しいと、当時の知識人であったルカが、資料をあれこれひっくり返し、まとめ上げたその努力、彼はどう受け止めたことでしょうか。天に戻られる前のイエスのことばは「平安があなたがたにあるように」です。ルカは魂の平安を得る人生へと神が人を招いておられることを、テォフィロに伝えたかったのです。アーメンです。 24:32 二人は話し合った。「道々お話しくださる間、私たちに聖書を説き明かしてくださる間、私たちの心は内で燃えていたではないか。」

It’s amazing how a single instrument can play a whole host of amazing sounds. ❤ This artist is truly talented!
Thank you for this video. My new Ultralight arrived this week. It’s beautiful and the sound is amazing.
I would love to be walking through the woods & hear these music. Both are beautiful
Thank you!
あなたの演奏に出会って、ハンマーダルシマー奏者になることにしました。日本にはまだこんなふうにサウンドを操れる奏者はいそうにないので。いつの日か日本にいらした際にはぜひコンサートに行きたいです!!
こんにちわ♪♪ 何度か日本にも来られていて東京や北海道にてライブをされているのでまた機会があればぜひ!! 動画やCDはもちろんですが生のジョシュアさんの演奏は凄すぎますよ...!!
All I can do. Like
Thanks!!
C'est magnifique ! Hop ! Je m'abonne !
Just realized... Isn't this like an Andrah 2.0?
It's lovely to hear from you again, Marc. Yes, the piece has evolved over the years. I've reimagined several parts using my DulciForte and given it a new title to better reflect its current form. While I haven't included it in any albums yet, it will be included in my upcoming album.
@@JoshuaMessick i'll wait for that new album!
Nice.
Thanks!
❤❤❤ great work as always sir!
Thank you!
I wish I could share this with my father
So, is a Hammered Dulcimer a glorified xylophone with strings?
And your comment just proves you to be the true Neanderthal that you are. Time to crawl back under your rock.
This tune sounds like a Skyrim themed Aviators song
This video is really helpful for choosing my first Hammered Dulcimer. THANKS!
Great to hear! Thank you, Banjo 🪕
Maestro,yo tengo un salterio mexicano que adquirí,ya investigue como afinarlo y descubrí su video canal,solo que por la traducción que maneja UA-cam,tengo la duda de que ¿Si tengo que dejar mi intrumento afinado todo el tiempo ,o si tengo que bajar la tencion de las cuerdas cuando no lo use?de antemano gracias.
I mean that's just Skyrim
