About Us
RoseWynde flute and harp duo has been a working group since 1998. We arrange our own music with a blend of
our classical training with our love of Celtic and traditional folk tunes. Building a body of literature for this
instrumentation through writing and arranging has been a primary focus of the group. Besides recording we have published
four collections from our CD's through ALRY Music in Charlotte, North Carolina. Finding traditional Irish, Scottish,
and American literature to arrange, record, and publish has been professionally and artistically satisfying.

History
RoseWynde has released five CDs under the Sunridge Studio
label since they began performing together throughout the
beautiful Willamette Valley in Oregon since 1998. Their new CD
A Merry Little Christmas was just released in September 2007 and
includes traditional carols and modern classics of the Christmas season.
The arrangements are straightforward with contemporary touches. This CD offers festive arrangements with typical RoseWynde beauty and lyricism. This is a winning, unique album that
is gentle and reflective. A Merry Little Christmas creates a mood and gives the listener a feeling of a winter well wishing.
Some tracks include violin and cello in addition to the duo.
More of RoseWynde’s music can be heard on:
Morning by Morning: Songs and Hymns for Inspiration, November 2004
Winter Ayres, November 2003
Distant Ayres, summer 2002
Walking Tune, fall of 2000

The Future
RoseWynde creates thematic concerts with our unique blend of Celtic music, lore, historical readings, and personal letters. Our goal is
to build
a series of concerts to be performed in community theater settings throughout Oregon and Washington.
