NeidFyre: Buy

My latest CD, Anatidaephobia, is now available for PRE-ORDER!

CD's will be shipped beginning June 2, 2010.

Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you. I found this somewhat appropriate as a title for my latest CD.

I had several ideas on what this CD should have been, but it didn't solidify for me until my Father passed away suddently in March 2010.  He was a musician in his soul, though it wasn't his profession.  I think he would have loved this project.

You will hear tunes from Serbia, Israel, Ireland, Finland, Sweden & England.  The Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats is one of my husband's favourite poems.  I am eternally grateful to Loreena McKennitt for allowing me permission to use her beautiful melody.  

I hope you all enjoy listening to it as much I enjoyed making it. 

Love, 

Mel

My holiday CD! The literal translation of Adeste Anatinae means: O come all ye ducks. Anatinae being the Latinate for the family ducks. All the songs on this CD are traditional holiday songs. The idea of this CD was to record 9 of my favourite holiday songs (1 for each night of Channukah/for each Channukah candle, and 1 for the shammus)

Track Listing: The 8 Nights of Channukah, What child is this (instrumental), Adeste Fidelis, Channukah oh Channukah, Maoz Tzur (instrumental), Deck the Halls, Carol of the Bells (instrumental), Wassail, Silent Night

I put together a limited run CD (150 copies) called FAVOURITES. I took 15 of my favourite tracks from all of my CD's to make this compilation. The CD is $7.00 (includes shipping/handling/taxes) and will be available January 11 - ?? Each CD is signed and numbered.
