Pastance's most recent offering is a delightful collection of traditional, original, and early music for Celtic harp, recorders and voices. The compositions by Alex Cronin were inspired by memorable places visited while touring with Pastance. The album also includes two medieval dance tunes, a haunting arrangement of Josquin's In te Domine and traditional Irish, Scottish and Welsh music.
