a winter celebration of the wire-strung
harp
There's something that goes well beyond
the rational in the sound of the
wire-strung harp: the accumulated tradition of centuries,
of course — and the ability to set loose
waves of joy and sorrow with just a
touch. And when you hear its clear and
delicate overtones in the crisp December
air, well, it becomes almost
irresistible.
On this early December transmission of
Hearts of Space, an hour of lyrical spacemusic
for this venerable and much-loved
instrument...on a program called CELTIC
HARPESTRY.
Music is by RUDIGER OPPERMAN, JOHN
DOAN, KIM ROBERTSON, DEBORAH
HENSON-CONANT, LISA LYNNE, AINE MINOGUE,
DEREK BELL, HECTOR ZAZOU, and LOREENA
McKENNITT.
