Each song on this album is connected with a mystical thread of narrative that is deeply interwoven with my own life story. The above album trailer celebrates some of my treasures that reflect the meaning of each song. My hope is that this music might transport its listeners to comforting imaginative spaces and provide a much-needed escape TO Reality. I would be honored if you could also share this music with other kindred spirits with whom it may resonate.

Click above to see a trailer for "Songs of the Earthly Pilgrimage."
An adventurous yet meditative acoustic pilgrimage on the mountain dulcimer that guides the listener on a unique yet universal journey, beginning with life’s sunrise and ending in paradise.

The one great story that unites all the songs on this album is the medieval vision of human life as an earthly pilgrimage from birth until death and into eternal life. On this journey, one will experience not only battles, internal and external, but also times of joy, and even profound encounters with the sublime. Each song, in its way, pays tribute to an aspect of this timeless journey through medieval and World folk expressions. All the songs are played entirely on the Appalachian mountain dulcimer, a traditional American instrument. Sharing these songs on the mountain dulcimer is meaningful to me not only because many of these pieces strike me as the kind of music that would have been played on the zither ancestors of the mountain dulcimer but also because these songs are deeply associated with stories I have loved throughout the years. My hope is that these songs from my journey might be as small beacons for you on your own pilgrimage… - Jessica Comeau  

Life is a pilgrimage... Here are songs for the journey.

These twelve selections from the medieval Cantigas de Santa Maria will immerse you in the atmosphere of 13th century Spain.

Arrangements are mostly in D-A-D (with or without a capo), and some are in D-G-D. This digital download includes midi audios for all arrangements in this book.

This collection pursues a contemplative approach to Christmas music that has led me to include many lesser-known carols of Europe as well as several medieval carols. Besides these, I have also reinterpreted some more familiar carols, striving to make them warm and accessible for solo performances or small ensembles. All songs are appropriate for either flatpicking or fingerpicking. Midi audios of all songs may be downloaded below. May these songs guide you at Christmas in seeking a balance between the collective celebrations of our larger communities and the renewal to be found in solitude. May they bring you peace and the quiet joy which is at the heart of Christmas...
