A celebration of the harp in Wales, an instrument as symbolically
key to a Welsh identity as the flag itself. Bruce Cardwell provides
a history of the harp in Wales, including how it grew to
prominence, its evolving role in Welsh culture, how it became a
central symbol of Welshness, how it has developed as a musical
instrument in response to changing musical taste, and the booming
harp business today. He also explores the craft of harp-making,
including the variety of construction, materials, designs and
aesthetics, issues of 'playability' and tone, and the fusion of
craft skills with art sensibilities. The book also has a section on
thirty-six contemporary Welsh harpists, with portraits and a
narrative on their perspective on their personal instruments, their
individual repertoires and how they see their place in the
continuing tradition. These harpists include Catrin Finch, Elinor
Bennett, Delyth Jenkins, Robin Huw Bowen, Twm Morys, Gwenan
Gibbard, Harriet Earis and Llio Rhydderch.
