  • Description

    This CD presents works by the two famous British composers John Dowland and Henry Purcell, played by Margret Koell on the Welsh Triple Harp.

    Since 2020, Margret Koell, a specialist in historical harps, has been in possession of a "Welsh Triple Harp". It is a copy of an instrument by the famous harp maker Evans, whose original from 1736 is kept on display in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

    The Welsh triple harp is a later development of those found in 16th century Italy. These Italian triple harps first appeared in Britain in the early 17th century, during the reign of King Charles II. The Italian harps were adopted by Welsh harpists living in London at the time, and quickly became known as Welsh harps.

    The Welsh triple harp consists of three rows of strings; the bass row, middle row and treble row. The bass and treble rows are tuned in unison to the diatonic scale. Today the Welsh triple harp can be heard predominantly through Welsh folk music.

    Despite the long-standing harp tradition on the British Isles, there is no original literature for the harp from this period. Instead, Koell transcribes compositions for lute or keyboard instruments with very little alteration. The pieces by Dowland and Purcell are characterised by a melancholy that was popular in their time, often combined with a light, dance-like impression. Margret Koell takes us on a "silent dance", into the mood of an early autumn day.
