Automne: Changing Colours of Harp Music
From classical to folk, from sweeping glissandi to the strikingly contemporary, the range and diversity of the harp always entrances and amazes.
Miscellany for Flute and Harp
Throughout history composers have been drawn to the flute and harp pairing, from the shepherd’s pan-pipes and Orphean lyre of ancient Arcadia to the French court of Marie-Antoinette and Mozart’s duo concerto for the two instruments.
Quiet Place
Each of the eleven tracks is a song without words. Written over a number of years, these pieces by Andrew Blyth share a concern for simplicity and directness of expression throughout the set.
