View source for Alisaundre ni Feidhlimidh dal gCais

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, [[Master 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 recording. You can hear samples of their music at their Web site, [http://www.wandering-hands.com Wandering Hands].
