Of music medieval. Such is the theme of this recent release by the exquisite Celtic harpist, Lisa Lynne. Accompanied by woodwinds, percussion, lute, dulcimer and other stringed instruments, Lisa evokes dreams of ancient Celtic worlds with overtones of a near Eastern flavor.
Inspired with Lynne’s own works are those of several other composers from ages past. Some tunes you will probably not have heard before; others will make you believe they sound vaguely familiar; still others, like “Still I Will (Be Merry)” you will immediately recognize. Light, ethereal, melodic and fun all in one package – Maiden’s Prayer is a CD that will lift your spirits and fill your heart with gaiety. – Michael Woodhead
