Christmas Carols with the Harps, Vol. 1
Performed and crafted by Keisuke Teramoto
A two-volume collection of Christmas carols performed on 24 handmade harps,
each uniquely designed and built by the artist himself.
Wire-strung, carbon-strung, arched harps - each instrument offers a different color and resonance, weaving together carols from across Europe and beyond.
From The First Nowell and Silent Night to the medieval Cantiga de Santa Maria and Polish Lulajże Jezuniu,
this album invites you into a gentle sound world of prayer and light -
where the harp becomes a bridge between the sacred and the everyday.
