These original compositions were inspired by traditional Irish melodies, some of which date back centuries.
If you play harp yourself, the scores are available free of charge on my website at verseandsong.com/song/celtic-harp/echoes-of-ancient-ireland-original-compositions/. Each piece comprises two parts: the first consists of the bare melody harmonized with a simple bass line and few chords and should be accessible to beginners; the second repeats the same melody, but harmonizes it with a more complex bass line and more chords and should should lie within the reach of intermediate players.
If you like this music, please see the playlist of all my harp recordings, almost eight hours' worth of music: youtube.com/watch?v=RKsjKPGxldc&list=PLg2GtsZ0EeLsbzHY3kVCcnGSdUn6VmfM7.
In addition to harp, my website, verseandsong.com, has much more music for a variety of instruments (Renaissance lute, baroque lute, vihuela de mano, Renaissance guitar, recorders, acoustic guitar, and snare drum) as well as poetry, short stories, and art.
