The Musician

Wild Mountain Heather

"Where music meets myth and every note is steeped in a story"

Welcome to Wild Mountain Heather, the creative home of composer and folklorist Lissie Taylor

Through the gentle resonance of harp strings and the expressive touch of piano keys, these pieces echo the ancient tales of Scottish hills, lochs and legends.

Each score is more than music-it's a journey.

Inspired by stories passed down through generations, these compositions blend the elegance of classical style with the lyrical soul of traditional Scottish music. Created for learners and intermediate musicians, every piece carries a narrative heart, inviting players to step into folklore through sound.

Whether you're a teacher, a curious student, or a lover of poetic music Wild Mountain Heather offers a growing anthology of scores, audio recordings, artwork and storytelling that transforms practice into enchantment.

 

Lissie has a great knack of hitting the sweet spot between writing an appealing melody, with an interesting story and pitching the arrangement just right for the beginner or aspiring intermediate harp player.  By combining mystical stories, beautiful art work and beguiling melodies it makes the learning experience all the more engaging and enjoyable. ” - Ingrid Henderson
