Aurora&#8217;s schottis \/ H\u00e4gg bland bj\u00f6rkar (Bird-cherry among birches) &#8211; lydia ievins (Montague, MA). A pair of friendly schottis tunes by lydia, played here on nyckelharpa and piano. The second owes its name to lydia\u2019s family&#8217;s namesake tree (Swedish &#8220;h\u00e4gg&#8221; = Latvian &#8220;ieva&#8221;). Recorded on <i>Koivu<\/i>, lydia&#8217;s duo album with Helsinki-based pianist Juha Kujanp\u00e4\u00e4. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lydiamusic.org\">www.lydiamusic.org<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. <i>Hyla brook<\/i>, by Robert Frost. Read by Margaret Youngberg (Greenfield, MA). &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. Owl\u2019s Cowl &#8211; Chimney Swift (Boston, MA). Chimney Swift is Cecile Leroy (cello), Daniel Raine (cittern, guitars, banjo), Yaron Shragai (recorders, whistles, percussion), and A.Z. Madonna (accordion). This is Daniel\u2019s first tune written for cittern. He named it after an impressively plumed owl he saw perched high up in a friend\u2019s tree. This track appears on their album, <i>Fly Me Home<\/i>. <a href=\"https:\/\/chimneyswift.bandcamp.com\/\">https:\/\/chimneyswift.bandcamp.com\/<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4. <i>Eel-grass<\/i>, by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Read by Ben Williams (Northampton, MA). Ben notes, \u201cSpending some time growing up by the ocean, I sometimes long deeply for that specific habitat, which contains so much unique natural beauty and so many images and stories in my mind.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5. Eleanor Plunkett &#8211; Curt Osgood (Binghamton, NY). Curt writes, \u201cTurlogh O\u2019Carolan composed numerous moving and fanciful melodies popular with folk musicians everywhere today. Eleanor Plunkett is one of my favorites. Played on my dulcimer for a YouTube video short I made this past March, I strove to create a peaceful visual and auditory moment away from the stresses of the past several months.\u201d You can watch the YouTube video here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/bC4X5Wwe8Xk\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/bC4X5Wwe8Xk<\/a> &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.curtosgood.com\">www.curtosgood.com<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6. Waterbound &#8211; &nbsp;Lauren Breunig (Brattleboro, VT). This song is from Windborne\u2019s album <i>Midwinter Meeting<\/i>. They learned it from Dirk Powell in 2011, just before Vermont was hit by Tropical Storm Irene. Windborne is Lauren Breunig, Jeremy Carter-Gordon, Lynn Mahoney Rowan, and Will Thomas Rowan. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.windbornesingers.com\">www.windbornesingers.com<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>7. <i>Going for water<\/i>, by Robert Frost. Read by Julie Vallimont (Brattleboro, VT). &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>8. Capriccio Irreale &#8211; Mary Lea (Brattleboro, VT). This waltz by Kate Barnes is on <i>Between Two Worlds<\/i>, by Mary Lea and Friends. With Mary Lea (violin), Jeremiah McLane (accordion), Kate Barnes (piano), and Ralph Gordon (bass). <a href=\"https:\/\/dancefiddler.com\/\">https:\/\/dancefiddler.com\/<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>The opening music is \u201cThe Pearl in Sorrow\u2019s Hand\u201d by Julie Vallimont, from her album Dark Sky, Bright Stars.
