Dulcimer Enchantment

"The Munster Cloak" performed by Lois Hornbostel

From Lois: The mountain dulcimer can have a silky tone and mellowness that first made me love it.  Here’s a medley that uses that voice, from my “Dulcimer Enchantment” CD,  "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes” was a popular melody before English playwright Ben Johnson wrote its words (called ’To Celia’) in 1616 .  The latter tune, “Give Me Your Hand," was composed around 1603 by blind Derry, Ireland harpist Ruaidri Dáll Ó Catháin. He wrote it as a gesture of reconciliation for the Scottish Lady Ellington. Lois Hornbostel, fingerpicked acoustic mountain dulcimer; Jerry Rockwell, guitar; Janet Furman, harp.
