Bringing It Home is an excellent "sampler" or introduction to the music of Harper Tasche. Included in this collection are upbeat contemporary pieces; lyrical classical works; music from Ireland, Norway, and France; and music for meditation. This is pure music with acoustic instruments -- without heavy reverb, "nature sounds," or synthesizers. Features the folk harp, the rare cross-strung harp, bowed psaltery, and recorder.
"Once again, Harper Tasche has created music in which the innate lightness and warmth of the harp rises effortlessly... [with] a distinctly recognizable, old-world feel, even when performing original compositions. The sound is magical, refreshing and transparent... I listened to it every day for weeks." The Folk Harp Journal
