Harp Songs of the Midnight Sun by Aryeh Frankfurter Aryeh Frankfurter : Harp Songs of the Midnight Sun.
 Timeless and enchanting folk music for the soul.

Inspired by Scandinavian folk music, in Harp Songs of the Midnight Sun, Aryeh Frankfurter arranges traditional Swedish and Norwegian melodies for the Celtic folk harp. Interspersed throughout, the listener will also hear such instruments as the guitar, fiddle, viola, cello, plucked psaltry, baroque flute, recorder, pennywhistle, Swedish bagpipes, overtone flute and mis. percussion which combine to create a rich musical tapestry. This music is at times eerily haunting, at others, charmingly romantic and still others, delightfully playful. Always evocative and beautiful.

Richly textured and orchestrated, this album contains music from Sweden and Norway. Unusual yet extremely haunting and beautiful, the music is rich, deep and evocative. While enjoyable to anyone, the rich accompaniment and complex arrangements have made this album a favorite among my harp colleagues and friends. If you are interested in a truly diverse and unusual musical experience which showcases the full emotive range of the harp, we unreservedly recommend this album above all others - an exciting musical adventure into music from the Land of the Midnight Sun!
