Ann Mayo Muir has had a long and lustrous career as a recording artist and touring musician, most often performing with the legendary folk trio, Bok Muir & Trickett. In those years she distinguished herself as a singer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, recording three solo albums and eleven critically acclaimed albums with the trio. Now Ann adds Composer to her list of accomplishments - stunning instrumental music which can be found on her new CD, NOTES FROM ACROSS THE SEA.

On the CD, Gordon Bok writes, "Some pieces feel American, many have a European twist and a couple have run off with the Gypsies...it is a sinuous, snappy, energetic delight of interpretations with many shifts and surprises...With so many tastes and textures, this CD is a feast for the musical gourmet."

Ensemble Galilei, a Grammy-nominated Celtic/Early Music/Classical Crossover group, arranged and recorded the tunes with Celtic harp, fiddle, whistle, recorder, oboe, guitar, percussion and viola da gamba.
