Biography

Patrick Ball - Theater of Legend, Celtic Harp & Story -www.patrickball.com

Patrick Ball was born and raised in California and gave little thought to such things as where his ancestors came from. He went to school and supposed, when he thought about it at all, that he would one day be a lawyer, like his father. But he studied music from time to time and over the years developed a nodding… Read more in Amazon's Patrick Ball Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh takes on traditional melodies, May 22, 1998
By 
This review is from: Celtic Harp, Vol. 2: From A Distant Time (Audio CD)
For his second album, Ball chose a selection of familiar and less familiar tunes from the British Isles, ranging from contemporary compositions in the folk manner to traditional Irish and Welsh melodies and British folk ballads. Although some of the material suffers from over-familiarity, the performances are always impassioned, and the wire-strung harp gives the tunes a new lease on life: you'll feel you never REALLY heard "Greensleeves" before! I tend to prefer the O'Carolan tunes, for which Ball seems to have a natural affinity. (I was once listening to this tape on a Walkman while doing my laundry, and found myself dancing around the laundromat to "John O'Connor," to the astonishment of the other patrons.) But, all in all, the album is a pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, meditative music, June 22, 2009
This review is from: Celtic Harp, Vol. 2: From A Distant Time (Audio CD)
This album (and many other Patrick Ball harp pieces) is a wonderful mood-setter for an artist or writer. Some songs are mellow while others are more lively without being agitating or frenetic. This is some of the best music to meditate by and it will set you in a good, calm attitude. The quality of sound is excellent and professional. Best of all - no synthesizers that plague "new age" music. Just beautiful, clear harp from talented hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of my favorite cds, January 18, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Celtic Harp, Vol. 2: From A Distant Time (Audio CD)
This is absolutley one of my favorite cds! Unfortunately, someone else is now enjoying it. Since it is such a favorite, it is most always in my cd changer in the car. We traded that vehicle in last year and forgot to get the cds out! We called the dealer the next day and he said there weren't any cds in the changer. Someone got a good deal on some excellent music!
