Celtic Passages CD/DVD

When Chattering Magpies decided it was time to start consideration for their first duo recording, fate connected them with videographer Dan Boone, who found the airy, celestial sounds of the Irish flute and harp, and the rhythmic combination of the whistle and mountain dulcimer a perfect match for his beautiful video collection of nature scenes, from waterfalls to icicles, shot from various locations across the state of Kentucky. This collaboration culminated in "CELTIC PASSAGES," a unique Celtic audio CD recording and relaxation DVD that treats the viewer to a sensory journey of all seasons. With backgrounds in music therapy, Lorinda and Greta are taking this product not only to Celtic music fans, but also to individuals and hospitals, and other places of healing in their ongoing efforts to use music as a catalyst for health and wellness. In addition, based on their own familial experience, they are donating a portion of each sale to colon and ovarian cancer awareness and prevention funding.

Lullabies and Other Lilting Melodies is a compilation of tunes designed to "soothe the savage breast." All are arranged for the mountain dulcimer in 1-5-8 (Mixolydian tuning). Along with the tablature notation, traditional music notation indicates the melody, suggested chords, and lyrics for many of the songs. An intermediate player should feel comfortable with the music as the songs are indicated for both strumming and some finger picking patterns, and do utilize chords on all 3 strings. The CD recording is very helpful to understand rhythms and expression.
