Celtic Harp Sparks! — Phyllis Taylor Sparks
— This is a wonderful collection of traditional Irish melodies for solo Celtic
harp. Great attention was paid to creating an authentic representation of the
music of Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738). This CD has seventeen O'Carolan
melodies. O'Carolan was a blind harpist who traveled the countryside,
performing for the locals and the patrons of the courts in Ireland. Each melody
represents a different person that he met during his travels. Also included on
the CD are Danny Boy, Greensleeves, and Wild Mountain Thyme.
