Celtic Harp
Offering — Carol Arblaster — Celtic Harp
Offering is an album of mostly original compositions recorded in the Bishops
Palace Chapel in Wells, England. The songs are contemplative and relaxing. The
acoustics of this medieval building give this solo harp performance an ethereal
sound that must be heard.

strata
— Deborah Ethier — With influences as diverse as
Steve Reich, Alan Hovhaness, Philip Glass, Brian Eno, Ludovico Einaudi, Bach,
film scores, World Music and Impressionism, it is difficult to label this music.
At times seriously minimalist, at others unabashedly Romantic, folksy, ambient
or even new-age, the one thread tying everything together is the harp. But is
this an album solely of harp music? Decidedly not! It is more about musical
pattern, colour, texture, story-telling and atmosphere....with a harp or two or
five!

Seascapes —
Phil Holland — A voice and a harp in perfect
symbiosis. Inspired by the sea this is music that fuses classical and
traditional, including jazz and minimalist inspired sounds. “Seascapes” is
mainly inspired by the sea, by the essence of being an islander and the magical
meeting of the Greek and Celtic cultures. There are 9 tracks on this CD, all
played and sung by Phil. (Celtic harp, voice and violin). Traditional Scottish
pieces lie harmoniously side by side with Phil’s original compositions and a
cover of the famous Greek song, “Itane mia fora”.

"Christmas
Arpeggios" has a little something for everyone, from classic carols
of the season to the sizzling sounds of jazz, and even the traditional
“Aguinaldo” music from Puerto Rico. A truly eclectic album, "Christmas
Arpeggios" incorporates many intriguing collaborations, which include a harp
trio with violin and viola, a handbell choir, duos with guitar, viola and
“cuatro” and the unique ensemble “HarpFusion”; the largest touring concert harp
ensemble in the world, which she had the honor of being a member of for 8 years.
