Theresa Morrison
Laments and Merry
Melodies
|
Theresa's Gaelic accenting
could perhaps be compared to Alex Francis MacKay and, like
Alex F., she chose pianist Gordon MacLean as her
accompanist.
Theresa also has a newer
CD.
Titled
Lake
Bras D'Or, on
it she is accompanied by Doug MacPhee.

This is fiddler Theresa
Morrison's first recording. Years of experience make her
music as flavourful as any you may have heard. The
repertoire includes tunes which are ancient as the hills, as
well as others that Theresa composed herself. Originally
from Washabuck, a community along the shores of the Bras
d'or Lakes, seven of her brothers and sisters played the
violin, the most well known being her older brother the late
Joe
MacLean.
