This 2001 bargain-priced release contains music that soothes the soul: a rich tapestry of Celtic moods for gentle, quiet relaxation, meditation, and massage. With roots that harken back to medieval times, the hammer dulcimer has a magical effect. The percussive, melodious sounds of leather-covered mallets dancing over 80 strings creates a harp-like resonance that brings a special beauty to the ancient melodies of the Celts. Add a rich overlay of strings, the deep tonal quality of woodwinds, and early music and traditional Celtic instruments, and you have music that will take you into the light.
