Malcolm Dalglish (The Kennedy Center)

Malcolm Dalglish

Malcolm Dalglish's performances for family and school audiences offer an engaging blend of virtuosic hammer dulcimer playing, rhythms and rhymes, theater, stories and songs. Dalglish refers to his songs as "playgrounds" for singers. Many songs on the album launch the singers into a freestyle Celtic-sounding mouth music as in the title cut "Pleasure," the French Canadian "Reel a Bouche," or "Swifts" (a song about these acrobatic birds that sweep the summer skies above our towns). Flight enters the realm of dreams in "Pegasus" as the dark and modal melody of a fourteenth century Italian laude takes off into an ethereal flying vocal carousel. Lullabies like the Northumbrian "Sheep in the Meadow" and old "critter songs" like "Bushy Tale" or "Woody knows Nothin" are like an old classic picture book.
