From the composer:
Most of my compositions have a story behind them….. and these are no exception! Giving
a title, or a story to a composition is, for me, to make up for a lack of lyrics, and it’s rare for me to sit and play these tunes without conjuring up the reason for the title, and the fun times
that happen behind the music.
West Park is the name we gave the new home of our lovely former neighbours.
Vinegar Hill was the former residence of good friends of ours
Bev’s Fancy is dedicated to the wonderful and extraordinarily talented Beverley Young, and while I would describe this as a straightforward tune in the style of O’Carolan, the music reflects not Bev, but our ongoing friendship of the last twenty years which was sealed with several years of Thursday afternoon rehearsals, cups of tea, and lovely traditional songs.
Mrs Raewynn Robertson was written for the birthday of our treasured friend by the same name.
The beautiful artwork has been done by the gorgeous Moira Pagan www.moirapagan.wix.com) and cover formatting by John Pagan. If you would like to purchase further copies of my compositions and arrangements, check out my website www.annadunwoodie.co.nz or email me on harpmad@gmail.com
