Da Capo Alba - About Time

Buy online from the LGMA for £10 plus £1.20 p&p

This is the first ever CD to be released by a UK guitar and mandolin orchestra.

It's been a long time coming, but here it is - Da Capo Alba's debut recording. It has been a long labour of love for many of us in the orchestra, but the length of time has given us the advantage of including pieces that we have played over the years and which may not be in our current repertoire. In this sense, the recording is an accurate retrospective view of the ever changing membership and repertoire of Da Capo Alba. The title, although relevant to the time span of the project, also alludes to the importance of time and timing in music and demonstrates how long it takes to establish a group of musicians who can work together to produce an album of this quality.

Praise for About Time

"The CD arrived yesterday and I just finished listening to it--WONDERFUL! It's a GREAT mix of music written for mandolin orchestra and folk music. HIGHLY recommended! Wish I could hear you all live!"
Yvonne Wingard, mandocellist of the Dayton Mandolin Orchestra
