April 1996
13065 FIONA - PATRICK
BALL
On this instrumental CD, Ball enthralls us with traditional Irish songs,
played on a reproduction Celtic wire–strung harp. Tim Britton joins
in on the tin whistle and Uillean pipes (an Irish bagpipe), along with
Kevin Karr on fiddle on such classics as Brian Boru's March and
L'herititere de Keroulez (The Pretty Maid Milking Her Cow), a
traditional Breton song recorded by such people as Judy Garland and
the Clancy Brothers. Ball also includes two traditional Scottish tunes.
Farewell to the Land of Mist, the song which wraps up this album,
is a poignant piece which will have any listener longing for the moors
of Scotland.
