Note from the composer<\/h3>\n

Finding an appropriate title was challenging, but I finally settled on C\u00e0ol MacAoidh; C\u00e0ol meaning “music” in Gaelic and MacAoidh being the Gaelic spelling of McKay, my mother’s maiden name. My mother, who passed away in June of 2004, loved the harp and loved music that is simple and expressive. Of all the music I have written, this is the piece she would have liked best. C\u00e0ol MacAoidh was written for my dear friend Elizabeth Volp\u00e9-Bligh, and first performed, brilliantly, by her and Roger Cole on October 12, 2005 in the Recital Hall at the University of British Columbia. The audio from this performance is provided above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
