Description

Tania Opland, Mike Freeman & Anne McCaffrey create the music of Pern, the setting of many of McCaffrey’s best-selling books.

“Anne McCaffrey contacted us when she began writing Masterharper Robinton’s life story. She wanted to include some of his music in the book, and asked if we would write it. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, the book was published without the music. But meanwhile, the concept had grown from a handful of tunes to a full 50 minute CD of songs and instrumentals, using Anne’s lyrics from the original Pern books, plus some expanded lyrics that she wrote specially for this project.”

The musical interpretation draws on many cultures and eras, and features a wide range of stringed, wind and percussion instruments, vocals, and beautiful production.

THE MUSICIANS:
Tania Opland: vocals, guitar, violin, recorders, hammered dulcimer, keyboards, Kiowa (Native American) flute
Mike Freeman: guitars, vocals, djembe, darabouka, cymbals, snare, timpani, frame drums, various other percussion

Additional voices: Hilary Spencer (U.K.), Brian Bedford (U.K.), William Pint (U.S.A.), Alicia Healey (U.S.A.)

Harp: Madeleine Doherty (Irela
