 traditional celtic melodies  Matthew White, countertenor / contre-ténor Alex Kehler, baroque violin / violon baroque Amanda Keesmaat, baroque cello / violincello baroque Seán Dagher, cittern / cistre Andrew Horton, double bass / contrabasse Betsy MacMillan, viola da gamba / viole de gambe Thomas Gossage, percussion ACD2 2236 |
The songs and instrumental pieces chosen for the album come mainly from the Celtic, English and Swedish traditions but we have also included arrangements of melodies written by Seán and Alex in a style that complements the other selections. Dispensing as much as possible with the input of publishers and previous arrangers, Seán and Alex have attempted to arrange these songs from single line melodies.
