Little Christmas Carols on the 8-String Harp Performed and crafted by Keisuke Teramoto, harper and maker A collection of 38 Christmas carols from around the world - Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Basque Country, Poland, and more - gently woven on a tiny harp named "Rakuen (Paradise)" (op.75), strung with just eight wire strings. Each piece embraces the warmth of resonance and the quiet space between notes, creating simple, intimate arrangements. It is an Advent music collection for harp, meant to accompany peaceful winter afternoons and silent nights. Instrument used: 8-string wire-strung harp "Rakuen" (op.75), made of zelkova wood Design & craftsmanship: Keisuke Teramoto painting: Tomoko Nakai Tracklist (15 tracks / 38 carols) The album presents medleys of carols grouped by region - from the Irish "Wexford Carol" to the Polish "Lulajze Jezuniu", each reimagined for the delicate voice of the 8-string harp. 1 Veni, veni Emannuel 2 Gabriel's Message, Basque, Cantiga de Santa Maria 424, Pois que dos Reis Nóstro Sennor, Tra Va Ruggit Creest 3 I Saw Three Ships, The Cherry tree, The Holly and the Ivy, Sussex Carol 4 Ny Drogh Vraane, God rest ye merry gentlemen 5 The First Nowell, Adeste Fideles, John Francis Wade 6 The Coventry Carol, The Twelve Apostles 7 Y Washael, Gini, Gini, Nos Galan, Deck The Hall 8 Il est ne, le divin Enfant, Ding Dong Merrily on High, We wish you a merry Christmas 9 El Noi de la Mare, What Child is this? 10 Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, Puer natus in Bethlehem, Veni, Redemptor gentium, 11 Angels We Have Heard on High, Hark!
