about

For the first time, here is an instructional CD available for the Germanic harp! The first nine songs give a broad sample of traditional folk music from a number of European countries. These musical styles have remained virtually unchanged since time immemorial, and represent the musical legacy of many ancient peoples.

In the Harp Tutorial, Aelfric guides the listener through everything one needs to know in order to play the Germanic harp. Aelfric is a professional musician and music teacher, as well as one of the leading experts on the Germanic harp. His techniques and lessons as taught in numerous seminars have revived the proper use of this instrument. The listener will therefore be in good hands as the secrets of this magical ancient instrument are revealed.

This album is accompanied by the "Germanic Harp Owner's Manual" booklet, sold separately and available from the Merch section.

He has also published 3 books about the Gothic tradition (see Lulu link below). ... more
