Celtic harpers of old played the three musics: the music of mirth, the music of sorrow, and the music of sleep. Celtic music is a rich tapestry of these musics, and Jo Morrison presents selections of each on this CD. Much of the album is traditional music from Scotland, Ireland, and the Shetland Islands, but Jo has written several tunes for it as well. Other instruments on this fine Celtic harp CD include flute, hammered dulcimer, fiddle, viola, cello, clarinet, bagpipe and shuttle pipe. You can find the written harp arrangements for some of these pieces in Jo’s books The Three Musics and Morrison’s Scottish Repertoire.
