kinfan Musical story of how the seasons in woodland can reflect our own life journey, the superb artists translating Corrina’s ideas in a sumptuous display of emotive expression. Storm King clears the area ready for new beginnings. Favorite track: Silent Farewell / A Thousand Beautiful Arms / Cling Close to Me / Storm King.

about

I wanted to write for harps and harpers who were in Scotland,
playing Scottish music, ancient and modern; to write for players who
had a specific style, sound and personality which would, together,
work in harmony. Finding inspiration in Eugene Field’s story of the
Oak and the Ivy in ‘The Little Book of Profitable Tales’ published in
1901, I wanted to hear the wood’s voice within the harp and reflect
my intention of allowing the forest to speak and I would listen.
Transient tales of shifting seasons in a ever-moving world, with love
and loss, acceptance and gratitude, allowing it all, allowing it to be.

Thank you to the inspirational musicians around me, especially:
David (Dave) Milligan, Inge Thomson, Martin Green, Karine Polwart
and Emma Jackson who showed me great clarity and kindness in their
feedback and encouragement.
And thank you to my mum, Caroline Hewat, who was one of my biggest
supporters and had started the artwork on this but was never able to
finish. And to my dad, al hewat, for helping me to finish it in the end.
This is for you Ella.
