Great Players of the Mountain Dulcimer


Item Name: Great Players of the Mountain Dulcimer CD
Item Number: CD OMM GPMD
Price: $ 15 .00 plus S+H 

 




Featuring 16 instrumental tracks from award-winning American artists (7 players are 
regional dulcimer champions and 6 won awards in the national dulcimer competition 
at Winfield, Kansas), this CD is a sampler that expresses the diverse styles of mountain 
dulcimer artistry.  
Original and tradition folk tunes, hymns and lullabies comprise the "sweet music" of 
this collection.  The tunes are played in both fingerpicking and strummed style in both 
solo or ensemble arrangments.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers, a Swedish hymntune from Eulberg's critically acclaimed 
Hark, the Glad Sound! recording was the track selected for inclusion in this project.

Michael Shull, who holds numerous regional championships and was a three-time top 
five finalist in the National Mountain Dulcimer Competition, coordinated this project:

"I felt the time was right for another quality "Sampler" type recording that promosts dulcimer artists.  Masters of the Mountain Dulcimer, 
Vol I (1997), helped dulcimer artists obtain large exposure for their playing styles and recordings.  However, many great players were 
not included in that project and some others have come into their own since that time," Shull writes from his South Carolina home. 

The Players:

Mike Anderson 	MacPherson's Lament   (Illinois)
Linda Brockington  	Sheebegh-Sheemore  (Arkansas)
Mike Clemmer	Be Thou My Vision  (Tennessee)
Joe Collins 	A Mighty Fortress  (N. Carolina)
Larry Conger 	Cradle Hymn  (Tennessee)
Jim Curley 	My Home in the Hills  (Kansas)
Steve Eulberg 	Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers  (Colorado)
Lorinda Jones 	Dona Nobis Pacem  (Kentucky)
Hollis Landrum 	Just a Closer Walk With Thee  (Mississippi)
Anne Lough 	Coleman's March  (N. Carolina)
Lee Rowe 	Cookies and Milk  (Tennessee)
Stephen Seifert 	Westfalia Waltz  (Kentucky)
Maureen Sellers    Angel Band  (Indiana)
Michael Shull	Down by the Riverside  (S. Carolina)
Bob Thomason 	Haste to the Wedding  (Georgia)
Mark Tindle 	Come Thou Fount   (Texas)

An unsolicited Review:

From: mrbuddha@iquest.net
Subject: Michael Shull's GP o' MD

Just got the new CD Michael produced (Great Players of the Mountain Dulcimer).
What a great listen! 16 artists, 13 of whom I'd never heard (but had seen listed in festival itineraries).
I know where a bunch of my money is headed soon!
There's been some discussion recently about church music not needing to be plodding
or contemplative. Joe Collins' A Mighty Fortress or Steve Eulberg's Rejoice,
Rejoice, Believers would have the most rhythmically challenged of my Methodist
friends tapping their toes!

Standard disclaimers - no ties to any of these guys.
