This third solo CD from Wendy Stewart and her first post-Ceolbeg explores the resonances, layers and quiet energy of the traditional harp music she has played, composed, arranged and taught for over 30 years.
This collection of unashamedly harp-focused tracks is strongly influenced by the landscape of South West Scotland where she now lives, by the natural rhythms of this environment and by family and friends.
Fourteen tracks feature layers of gut, wire, nylon and electro harps interwoven with Wendy's voice and concertina plus the many talents of Rod Paterson - voice and guitar, Gary West - small pipes and low whistle, Mike Travis - percussion, Fraser Spiers - harmonica.
Choice tracks include an atmospheric setting of the poem 'There is a Tide' by Sydney Goodsir Smith, the pibroch 'The Old Sword's Lament' played on wire harp and small pipes, a reworking, in English, of a song of the clearances from Mull and 'Wendy's Waltz' composed by Eddie McGuire and played on the bohemian harp."
