No Loose Threads
"No Loose Threads" (Cat# CD002) is Marcy Prochaska's debut CD. Marcy is a talented and artistic young woman who Rick Davis first met at the Spring 2001 Upper Potomac Dulcimer Festival in Harpers Ferry, WV. To celebrate her first anniversary of playing Hammered Dulcimer, she put on a house concert in Richmond, VA, which included music that was important to her throughout her life. This CD is a studio recording which was developed out of that concert. One of several guest musicians, Rick plays bodhran on one set of tunes.
This is one of the best CDs featuring Hammered Dulcimer we have heard for the variety of musical styles, the musical arrangements, the production and engineering, but most of all the beauty that comes through in the music. This CD is definitely worth more than one or three listens! Music includes classical, sacred, folk, and original pieces.
61 minutes of instrumental and vocal music.
Vocals include solos, duets, and choral pieces, with one song sung in Czech.
Instrumentation includes Hammered Dulcimer, Guitar, Recorder, Flute, Autoharp, Bowed Psaltery and Bodhran.
