Revision as of 17:38, 6 September 2014

Mistress Alisaundre lives in Wyewood. She is a former Courtier of Blatha an Oir and currently the Kingdom Laurel Secretary. Alisaundre sings mezzo-soprano and plays a collection of rare and unusual bowed instruments, namely the lyra da braccio, rebec, and nyckelharpa (and occasionally a plain old violin.) She also plays hammered dulcimer, mandolin, and hand percussion. Alisaundre can be seen frequently playing court music with her partner, Leith Amhranai dal gCais. She and Leith are also heads of the Dal gCais household.

Despite her obsession with late period music, Alisaundre is often seen wearing clothing consistent with her 5th century Irish persona or occasionally garbed as a 12th century Moorish woman.

Together, Leith and Alisaundre have several recordings. You can hear samples of their music at their Web site, Wandering Hands.

Her apprentices include: Serena Zane, Gareth Albaric of Eastbrook, Sionann in Ui Fhlaithbheartaig, and Viscountess Chiara Fiamma. While not currently accepting more apprentices, Alisaundre is an avid teacher and is happy to share her expertise with all things musical and research and documentation. To contact her, email alisaundre@hotmail.com.
