Celtic traditional music, early music, and some of our own tunes, played on harp, fiddle, viola da gamba, recorders, and percussion. The music is from our multi-media show, " Stories from the Edge of the World."
Bio / Background
Journeys take all forms. Two years ago we began a journey to develop a show with the National Geographic Society’s blessing and support, called “ First Person- Stories From the Edge of the World”. It involved readings of poetry and diaries of explorers from several centuries and around the world. This was accompanied by photographs from the NGS archives, and music to make it all come together. Here, we present the music: some Celtic, some Scandinavian, some early, and a few tunes that we wrote ourselves.
Recorded in early 2007, Hanneke Cassel has joined us as fiddler extrordinaire, and Allison Edberg plays violin and viola on the early music. Kathryn Montoya plays recorders, pennywhistle, and baroque oboe, Carolyn Anderson Surrick plays viola da gamba, and Sue Richards plays the Celtic harp. Glen Velez joined us on percussion, and Jackie Moran played the Irish bodhran.
