These songs capture the essence of Scottish life in their words and music, and are used as the milestones on this musical journey. Featuring Jo Morrison on harp and guests including Bonnie Rideout on fiddle, Paula Glendinning on bagpipe, Walt Michael on hammered dulcimer, and Lisa Moscatiello on vocals. A wonderful collection of instrumental music for the holidays. This recording features historical instruments and rarely heard melodies, along with some more familiar pieces. Harpsichord, Wire strung Irish Harp, Baroque violin, Baroque Flute, Flageolet and Hurdy-Gurdy are not common sounds to modern ears, but the combinations used here bring the listener to another time and seem so appropriate to this ancient music.
Tunes are from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, France, Germany and even one from Poland.
