  • Description

    20 songs including powerful solo, duet and ensemble performances of Celtic and Classical standards as well as surprising interpretations of African, Latin and Blues.

    This magical stringed instrument produces a pure, beautiful tone", says harpist Verlene Schermer, "one that is soothing, uplifting, heavenly. Simply playing the harp against your shoulder creates vibrations that are like a massage, relaxing and therapeutic."

    This collection is a must for anyone curious about the range of the harp, an acoustic instrument with an electric glow, one that has sometimes been mistakenly overlooked and miscast by some.
