Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars mellow but highly listenable.......2007-05-07

I purchased this album largely from wanting more of the sparse instrumental arrangements and sense of space offered in Loreena McKennitt's early work. I have not been at all disappointed. The booklet contains informative notes , which is especially valuable considering the diverse origins of most of the melodies offered here; the sources of this music go far beyond the 'Celtic' harp of the title. Not to 'harp' on the McKennitt thing again, but if you enjoyed her early albums and have not been so thrilled by the over-produced, world-music-conglomerate feel of her later efforts, I think this CD will have much to offer you.

5 out of 5 stars An update from the artist!.......2005-09-04

[...] For a complete set of soundclips so you can personally experience this album before purchase! Thank you, and enjoy the music.

5 out of 5 stars Lyrical, lively, reverent music.......2005-08-28

This is an amazing collection of traditional Celtic, Medieval, Scandinavian, and original tunes that I have found particularly enthralling. As the artist, I experienced the joy of making music that I deeply love, and it is a privilege sending these melodies out into the world. Celtic harp is an instrument of magical beauty, and combined with recorders, pennywhistle and viola, creates a sumptuous tapestry of sound. Give this album a try if you enjoy unusual selections both energetic and tranquil!

5 out of 5 stars A Message From Lyrica Press.......2005-01-07

***Step through a sonorous portal to the past with Celtic Harp and Friends. Experience song from Ancient Greece to the Middle Ages, from the Nordic lands to the green British Isles to the shores of Early America, linking distant times to a new resonance of unity and understanding through music. With Celtic harp, recorders, pennywhistle, piano, and viola, "Ancient Muse" will lead you through moods of spirited joy, of reverence and peace, and into somber depths of mystery. Music is like that..."
