Description

Contemplative Music for the Spirit

An extremely lyrical, exquisitely beautiful CD in which the musicians play in various ensemble settings from solo and duo performances to trios and quartets. The ancient melodies and gentle airs, with one exception, all come from Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. Included are some well-known favorites like “Morning Has Broken” and “All Through the Night.” Hammered dulcimer enthusiasts will find plenty of dulcimer featured on the CD.
