Musica A Masterpiece CD. If ever there was a musical "time capsule" for the human condition, this would be it. Informed, scholarly interpretation, coupled with masterful, sympathetic performance and an emotional understanding that makes this an approachable window on our past and invites us to look through one of the many possible windows into the future.

I am a bagpiper and a piobaireachd player, and I find the similarities between piobaireachd and some of the Huw compositions fascinating. (First pointed out to me on an episode of the BBC Pipeline program.) Also fascinating is the fact that the Huw compositions were written down some 200 years before any piobaireachds were. I have always been told that the piobaireachd form was indigenous to the Scottish Highlands; perhaps this is not true...

Thank you Bill! Posted by Barbara Cady Bidencope on 07 December 2008 | ||
Congratulations on a very informative and easy to use website. I particularly enjoyed the article on the Lyre of Ur which is fascinating.
Thanks again for a terrific wire harp course which I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn to play the wire harp. It was inspirational!
