Creighton's Collection, in association with Freak Harp Music of Argentina, are delighted to be publishing Athy's music in Europe. We have just completed three scores with more due later in the year.

Athy - The Electric Harper - music for electric lever harp or pedal harp

All priced at £10 + p&p and available from Creighton's Collection online shop


Seres del Fuego  - For lever harp in F or Pedal harp 

Fire has been an element with a strong mystical presence since ancient times, manifesting in magic spells, inspiring dances in the light of the moon. The home of magical creatures can be found within its vivid colours. This piece is inspired by the powerful element of fire, carrier of light and cosmic energy. It evokes beings from the myths of the ancient Celtic, Scandinavian and Greek cultures. 

Salamanders, little red devils, deities of light, Limniades and the mystical Phoenix are all present in this composition. Each has been represented by a different musical variation. Dancing in the flames, these mystical creatures connect with the human race and invite us to travel through the strings of the Celtic harp, visiting a world often invisible, intangible and yet captivating. Feel it in the depths of your being - that magical presence surrounding the harp. 

Create a space, your own inner flame, and find there the sweetness and mystery of this simple melody, finding your own inspiration in nothing more and nothing less than the fantasy of dreams.  - Athy


Dulce Bretaña - For lever harp in Eb or Pedal harp

Composed for the 40th Lorient Interceltique Festival, portrays Bretagne in ancient times. A land of Celtic harpers, magicians and mystical creatures where there were strong connections with the land and with the deep spark of life. It is a simple melody, like a waltz, which evokes images of the coasts, meadows, castles, and the countryside and magical forests of the Old Days where fantasy was the theme of the stories that Grandmas told their grandchild, ensconced within the walls of their old stone houses, which were filled with the aroma of freshly baked bread. - Athy 





Cuchuflo's Jig - For electric lever harp in Eb or Pedal harp

A harp piece that's a little "hybrid", and it's sectioned in two parts. The first part, called "La Cuchufla", represents a neighbourhood girl, who's a national rock and roll fan. A sexy girl that likes football... totally relaxed. 

This is the reason why this first part is a little about the "blues", looking back at those slow blues from the canteens in the American Far west. The second part represents "El Cuchuflo", a young harpist boy, fan of the Celtic music, the mythology. He's kind of like "Harry Potter", someone who hallucinates seeing Unicorns, elves, fairies. A dreamer. Kind of a "contemporary elf".

This is the reason why this second part is a little Celtic, with an "Irish jig" rhythm. But the third variation of the second part, has a touch from the first one, where you can see the union between both characters, with the typical "blues slides" in the melody. "Cuchuflo", "Cuchufla", "Cuchu", "Cuchuflito", Cuchuflita" were the romantic nicknames they used to call each other.

This is an electric harp piece. feel free to create your own variations if you feel like it. This is a musical piece that has a comic and free meaning, like a young and fresh love. The conjunction between the blues and the Celtic music, is nothing more than another crazy piece from my soul. Have fun when you play it, and remember that the written music is just a reference that you can then use to create your own way, with no barriers or labels. - Athy

 “When Catrin shyly told me she had been working on a "Celtic" concerto for harp and strings. I asked to see it and was instantly delighted with its imagination, variety and colour - I insisted we include it (on the CD Blessing), and feel sure it will join the small and select company of standard harp concertos.”
