Harp of Stars, by Daniel Kelly

Harp of Stars

by Daniel Kelly

supported by

madfilkentist Don Simpson has written some highly evocative songs, and Daniel Kelly gives them a worthy treatment in this album, a capella or lightly accompanied. The best known is "Ship of Stone," and "Lucifer" is another of my favorites. Definitely worth hearing. Favorite track: Lucifer.

about

My introduction to Don Simpson's work was through the classic filk song 'Ship of Stone', and then also through several of Don's songs that Leslie Fish had in her repertoire, including Lucifer.

When I found Don's page on DeviantArt, with many other poems and songs that have not been recorded or set to music at all, I was inspired to work on this album.

All profits from sales of this album will be split with Don.

There are many more poems on Don's page here:

And also many physical pieces of art here:

(one of which, 'Eye of the Deep' is used on the album cover with Don's permission).
