and Bright Charles Guard

 |
Charles Guard, form the Isle of Man, is an expert on early harp music and has drawn on many sources for the music presented here. He plays a wire-strung instrument modelled on the Sirr harp in the National Museum of Ireland and a modern gutstrung harp, and the music is a modern representation of the sound heard in the Celtic countries throughout the centuries. |
