Sunlit Strings
Karen Alley
Sunlit Strings is a compilation of favorite solo hammered dulcimer tunes played by Karen Alley, the 2014 National Hammered Dulcimer Champion. The tracks range in style from calming to upbeat and percussive. Six of the tracks are original compositions, while the rest draw from American and Irish traditional pieces and favorite hymns.
