Alex, I read with interest the description of your album in the link you provided- the combination of dulcimer player, singer, and Victorian era woman writer in your album seems like it would be a very unique and compelling interplay.
Hi All,
This is the ad for my new album on Neuma Records. I'm not trying to sell it (although I wouldn't object), I just like the ad a lot. It should start streaming sometime next month.

It's quite different from anything else I've heard for dulcimer. As I've said before, I've been a classically trained composer and professor for over fifty years, but have also always played folk and popular music instruments and taught the history of rock music. The album consists of songs with texts by Victoria era, Anglo-Jewish poet Amy Levy, beautifully sung by my colleague, operatic mezzo soprano Victoria Vargas. It's an unusual combination, borne first out of our friendship and then our musical instruments. I could have written for a more conventional accompanying instrument, but Victoria really liked the dulcimer and the idea of performing together.
Thanks and have a great day.
