On back cover:

The Belfast Harp Festival of 1792 saved for posterity much of the splendid tradition of Irish Harp Music produced by the harper composers of the previous centuries
.

Grainne Yeats has done much research on the Irish harping tradition. On these two CD’s she uses the knowledge she has gained about traditional styles in her performances of a representative selection of the instrumental pieces and songs of the harper composers.

I. Music Of The Harpers.
22 examples from the repetoire of the traditional harpers of Ireland who gathered for the last time at the Belfast Harp Festival in 1792 (69.20 mins)

II.Carolan.
20 Harp solos and songs from the extensive output of Ireland’s best known harper composer.
(59.11 mins)

The pieces on these two discs are played on Irish harps strung with brass,gut or nylon.
