Dick Hensold - Big Music For Northumbrian Smallpipes

(January 2008) 11 tracks: Mysteries Of Knock * First Leaves Of Spring * New Way To Morpeth * Dad's Fantatstic Jig * Zoe Cansdale Of Hartburn * Air For Maurice Ogg * Janette Gillis's Fish Cakes * My Ain Kind Dearie * Hartburn Hornpipe * Rheung Knome Jop Hai * Lance Robson's Jig.

Traditional and newly-composed acoustic music for the Northumbrian smallpipes (a quiet bagpipe from the North of England) in full, lush arrangements with other instruments.

From old Scottish and English manuscripts to newly composed tunes, and even a Cambodian pop tune, from simple pipes and guitar to intricate orchestral arrangements.

All arranged and played superbly.

With Laura MacKenzie (flute, whistle), Bruce Bowers and Joanna Shelton (violin), Chris Buckley and Ginna Watson (viola), Michelle Kinney and Anna Vazquez (cello), Troy MacGillivray (piano), Dean Magraw (guitar), Karen Mueller (guitar), Cathy Victorsen (harp), Bun Loeung (Cambodian hammered dulcimer) and Jane Lanctot (electronic keyboard).
