about

Welcome to my new recording of solo harp!

I am in awe of this instrument, the treasure it holds, the secrets it can reveal.

The first 8 tracks complete the Love in Secret Suite for Solo Harp exploring old harp tunes reimagined in all sorts of ways.

The final 3 tracks? Maybe you can dance around the garden or roam the forest of your imagination with a cuppa or a wee dram and think of those you love?

It’s been a challenge and a joy to create this solo harp recording for you.
I hope this reaches you safe and well.
Love and a big kiss, Catriona
August 2020
