from Compositions by Elaine Hogan
I have owned and played Paddy Cafferky harps since I started playing the harp, but I purchased a specially designed harp from Kevin Harrington in 2020 to use for outdoor wedding ceremonies. It has a beautiful clear sound and a much higher string tension, making it brilliant for ornamentation and syncopation. This tune was composed on this harp for that reason.
