In Faerie is a series of original compositions by Harpsidhe that describe a harpist's journey through the land of Faerie. The album is instrumental, and played solely upon the unlevered nylon-string lap harp. All of the compositions have a story behind them; many also have lyrics, although the album does not have voice accompaniment. Samples can be accessed at the
CDBaby site. In Faerie is twelve tracks with four bonus tracks.
The In Faerie CD is available through CD Baby, or in person at a Harpsidhe concert.CDBaby site. In Faerie is twelve tracks with four bonus tracks.
All Harpsidhe CDs are packaged in a recyclable, environmentally-conscious jacket* without a jewel case. The extra information that would have been included in a jewel case enclosure is here.
*but they still have shrink wrap. Working on it.
