Cynthia Cathcart recaptures the original sound of the music of Scotland and Ireland in this collection of melodies played on the wire-strung harp. The uniquely bell-like resonance of brass, silver, and gold strings carries the listener to a time when legends lived and magic was a part of every day. Most of the tracks are solo harp, but some also include flute, bodhran, didjuridu, bagpipes, and cathedral bells. Many of these pieces are in Cynthia's From My Music Stand book.
