Timothy's full concert m ode is in force for this exciting and encouraging two hours of hammered du lcimer, mountain dulcimer, flutes and whistles, and much more!
\n&nb sp;
\nAcoustic soloist Timothy Seaman brings together an eclectic bl
end of music
styles unlike any other: sometimes the deep voice of h
is four-octave extended-range
hammered dulcimer takes on the heart of
a Chopin ballade, and at other times the
festivity of an old-time mo
untain dance or a glistening contemporary interpretation of a
&nbs p;
\n\n
whitewater canoe ride or a highland hike among f
ir trees. His bamboo or silver flute
improvisations and passionate fo
lk renditions leave the air glowing with meaning ---
and then the bow
ed psaltery or the crafted vocal carries one’s mood into yet another
exploration.
A specialist in Virginia themes, nature,
parks, Celtic roots and folk hymns,
Timothy has since 1978 produced o
r co-produced nineteen recordings totaling 131,000
copies, including
the well-received Here on This Ridge, for Shenandoah National Park,
C
elebration of Centuries, for his home town Williamsburg’s tri-centen
nial, Sycamore
Rapids, featuring the hammered dulcimer in “adve
ntures out among the trees of
Virginia’s Parks and Forests,&rdq
uo; Virginia Wildlife, for the Department of Game and Inland
Fisherie
s, Jamestown: On the Edge of a Vast Continent, for the 400th commemoration
,
Cleansing Fountain, folk hymn interpretations for the Blue Ridge Pa
rkway, a set of lyrical
melodies called Celtic Airs, and the recen
t release for the Civil War Sesquicentennial
entitled Tenting on the
Old Camp Ground. Although many tracks on these CDs are full
ensemble
arrangements (often with all instruments played by Seaman himself), theycarry the same variety and flow of thought that characterize his solo
presence.
At a Seaman concert, expect to be exhilarated, amu
sed, awed, surprised,
personally involved (maybe singing a chorus or
playing along on an Irish bodhran
drum or Thai frog), and enriched by
real substance. Timothy introduces every selection
with stories,
fascinating details, and word pictures to form a vivid context with humor,
history, drama, science, and color. Come and find traditional, newly
composed, and
Baroque music that reviewers have referred to as &ldqu
o;soul-to-soul”
and “highly lyrical.”
