The Calthorpe Collection Vol. 2

The folk harp has been used in Ireland since around 1000 B.C. Nancy Calthorpe (1914-1998) was, during her working life, perhaps the most respected teacher of Irish harp in Ireland, her work spanning the half century since the end of World War II. This collection of her arrangements for folk harp and voice (also suitable for piano) draws from tunes by Turlough O'Carolan, Ruth Mevyn, Colm O Lochlainn, and other sources. Some of the tunes are in Gaelic, some in English, and others are instrumentals. The second volume in the set of four.
