Product Description "Anne McCaffrey contacted us when she began writing Masterharper Robinton's life story. She wanted to include some of his music in the book, and asked if we would write it. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, the book was published without the music. But meanwhile, the concept had grown from a handful of tunes to a full 50 minute CD of songs and instrumentals, using Anne's lyrics from the original Pern books, plus some expanded lyrics that she wrote specially for this project." The musical interpretation draws on many cultures and eras, and features a wide range of stringed, wind and percussion instruments, vocals, and beautiful production. THE MUSICIANS: Tania Opland: vocals, guitar, violin, recorders, hammered dulcimer, keyboards, Kiowa (Native American) flute Mike Freeman: guitars, vocals, djembe, darabouka, cymbals, snare, timpani, frame drums, various other percussion Additional voices: Hilary Spencer (U.K.), Brian Bedford (U.K.), William Pint (U.S.A.), Alicia Healey (U.S.A.) Harp: Madeleine Doherty (Ireland) Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBeautiful Renee J | OK | 02/18/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have read all of the Pern books more than once, and it is wonderful to get the music she writes so much about in your ears while you're reading. It's similar to watching the movie before reading the book...you see the images of the characters already. For those of us who cannot write our own music, it allows us to listen to what the harpers of Pern really wrote. With an Irish feel, using primitive sounding instruments, the music gets under your skin. You'll be singing the Question Song for a week." Doesn't everyone love the Masterharper? Rebecca | Michigan, USA | 06/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a great CD, it was the first one I bought many years ago, and it is still a favorite now. The songs use the exact words that Anne McCaffrey wrote in her books and put them to music that is exactly as I imagined it whould be. The Masterharper of Pern CD is a great contribution to the collection of any Anne McCaffrey fan." Good Music Wendy Coon | Cameron, NC | 01/09/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "The songs are wonderful and make the Pern world so much richer. It is nice to hear the songs that you've read about. I've found that listening to them on a very low volume while reading the books makes the experience so much more engaging."
