My friend Dorothy Cook asked me a number of years ago if I could write down a piece that she had composed. That piece is called St. Columba’s Moon, inspired by an experience she’d had at a harp event at a place called Columba House.

I’ve always wanted to do a Harp Tuesday episode about the piece – and here it is!

Dorothy has made the sheet music freely available if you want to play it yourself. Download the PDF.

Dorothy as an amazing storytelling and I’m so glad that I got the chance to film her telling the story behind the piece. I hope you will enjoy the music and the story!

If you play the piece and want to write any comments for Dorothy you can email me and I will pass them along.
