Chi Mi na Morbheanna
“Resonanceâ€, Allison Girvan’s debut CD collaboration with award winning composer/arranger (and husband) Don Macdonald, combines traditional music from around the world with beautiful new arrangements that honour the timelessness of both the tunes and the lyrics.
“Even though these songs were written hundreds of years ago in many different languages, it is so easy to hear in them the common thread of our humanity,†says Girvan. “ Time and again the lyrics express loss, hope and love. They explore the realm of dreams and prophecy. These are all emotions and desires which transcend time and culture.â€
Allison’s vocal talent and easy-going personality have earned her the respect and support of many wonderful Canadian musicians who are featured on the CD – Vancouver based musicians; percussionist Joseph (Pepe) Danza, cellist Peggy Lee, bassoonist Anthony Averay, and Toronto guitarist Bill Bridges (Quartetto Gelato, Bowfire, former music director for John McDermott).
