Anne-Marie O'Farrell
Anne-Marie O'Farrell: Harping Bach to Carolan
The material in this recording is drawn from a recital in the "Young Musicians in The Drawing Room" series in Number Twenty Nine. The series is presented in association with Feis Ceoil, Dublin and is held each year during Spring and Autumn. In this programme Anne-Marie demonstrates the veratility of the Irish harp, extending the repertoire for the instrument considerably beyond its traditional frontiers.

Anne-Marie O'Farrell: Just So Bach
The development in recent decades of the semitone mechanism on the lever harp has made it possible to play works previously unplayable on the instrument, among them certain compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. And although it might not seem likely at first glance, the music of Bach is especially suited to the modern Irish or lever harp for several reasons. The size of the instrument and string thickness is similar to that of baroque harps,giving it a brightness of tone uncharacteristic of the heavier modern pedal harp. Also, Bach's modulations are frequently effected in just one octave, so that consideration of damping and pedal noise associated with the pedal harp do not arise.

Anne-Marie O'Farrell: My Lagan Love
The marriage between the rich and varied heritage of Irish music and the harp has been a long and fruitful one with no sign of a divorce in sight. The tradition is renewed in the hands of one of the leading Irish harpists, Ann Marie O'Farrell, drawing together strands from the four provinces of Ireland and ranging over a myriad of sources and moods.
