Fiona
Patrick Ball - Fiona
Traditional songs from Scotland and Brittany also appear, along with a work by Turlough O'Carolan. Ball's wire-strung harp is the focus of this recording, but the traditional Irish pipes, whistles, and fiddle provide an occasional complement on several pieces.

A Harper's Land
Ann Heymann and Alison Kinnaird
This fine recording illustrates the differences between the wire-strung harp and the gut-strung harp. Ann Heymann is a master of the wire-strung harp, and Alison Kinnaird is one of the leaders of the gut-strung Scottish harp tradition. Some of the selections are played solo, and some are duets.

Queen of Harps
Ann Heymann - Queen of Harps
The wire-strung harp, or clarsach, was the harp of the Gaels of Ireland and Scotland. Through her knowledge of traditional music from her Irish American family background, and her study of the surviving music and manuscripts, Ann has re-invented the techniques necessary to play this majestic instrument.

Scottish Harp
Alison Kinnaird
Alison's records were the first to bring attention to the repertoire of the Scottish harp and to give the instrument a solo rather than an accompanying role. She continues to stress the importance of playing harp tunes rather than simply playing tunes on a harp. A must for all interested in the harp and for those looking for must that has charm and beauty.

The Music of O'Carolan
Partick Ball
A great tribute to the legendary Turlough O'Carolan, a blind, itinerant harper who wandered the Irish countryside at the turn of the 18th century, playing for wealthy landowners. O'Carolan was witty, a prolific composer and a genius on the Celtic harp.
