Irish Harp CD
Golden Lights and Green Shadows
This
is a solo harp CD of traditional Irish dance music, slow
airs and pieces from the 17th and 18th century harp
repertoire.
The sound samples are in realaudio format so you will need the RealAudio player to hear them. The files aren't streamed so you might have to wait until they are fully loaded before they play.
