Patrick Ball tells the story of a couple who returns to Ireland after living in the U.S. to go on a “Yeats County” tour to try to recapture some swiftly fading memories of their youth.
The couple visits many of the places beloved by the country’s greatest poet William Butler Yeats: Innisfree, Coole Park and Drumcliffe, to name a few. They hear again some of his most beautiful poems, “The Lake Isle of Innisfree,” “When You Are Old,” and “The White Birds.” And their story unfolds…
Ball performs the accompanying music on the legendary wire-strung Celtic harp. Made of maple with 32 brass strings, it is diatonically tuned in the key of D and played with the fingernails. It is a splendid re-creation of the great harps that were played in Ireland a thousand years ago.
