Celtic Harp Sparks! featuring Phyllis Taylor Sparks (Solo Celtic Harp)
"Great attention was paid to creating an authentic representation of the music of Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). This CD has seventeen O'Carolan melodies. O'Carolan was a blind harpist who traveled the countryside, performing for the locals and the patrons of the courts in Ireland. Each melody represents a different person that O'Carolan met during his travels. Always, there is an improvisatory feel to the music. It is hoped that the listener will feel as though they are meeting these people for the first time." — Phyllis Taylor Sparks |
