Laments

Old Gaelic Laments is the 2nd historical harp CD from Simon Chadwick.

From formal elegies of kings, bishops and great men, to personal expressions of loss; a quirky homoerotic song in mock lament for an absent patron; poetry readings and tunes celebrating or fearing death.

This CD presents a programme of clarsach music, song and poetry from sixteenth and seventeenth century Ireland and Scotland.
