These dreamy, heartfelt vocals with hammered dulcimer and other inventive instrumental accompaniments draw from Celtic and world music traditions. In the program notes, Kate explains, "... to me the core of one’s deep heart is not just a place to carry one’s own river of peace. It is also the place from which we bring the beauty of our essence into being." And that is exactly what she has done here.
The overall tone of this release is similar to "The Isle of Dreaming" but somewhat gentler. It contains, in particular, two stunningly beautiful songs that tug at the heartstrings and sooth the soul. "Place of Spirit" is a winsome duet for oboe and viola, with piano and cello accompaniment, while "So Ghostly Then the Girl Came In" is a haunting poem set to music that sounds like it evolved from the same creative niche as "Place of Spirit."
Listen to the wistful weavings of melody and harmony in these compositions, and if you sing or play an instrument and feel comfortable improvising, join in. There’s room, and to be a part of such music as this, even if only in your living room, allows you to truly appreciate it in all its richness and subtlety. Kate Price’s 1993 release, "The Time Between" by Priceless Productions, is hard to find, but shows the roots of her style and is very nice in its own right.
If you like "Deep Heart’s Core", you might also enjoy the creatively arranged vocals and hammered dulcimer of Trapezoid in "Moon Run" and John McCutcheon in "Step by Step", the vocal and multi-instrumental compositions of Lydia McCauley, and the early work of Loreena McKennitt.
