Book excerpt: Harps, instruments of ancient origin have joined humankind throughout its history: the gems among the instruments in the empires of antiquity, the accompanying instruments of the songs performed by medieval monks, wandering minstrels and gallant knights, favourites of burghers, and the queen of instruments, as many say. They served as the decorative or symbolic components of artistic representations arcing over times. We do not only get familiar with the varieties, the development and the most excellent virtuosos of harps, but we are also given a comprehensive view of their historical and philosophical background, the role they played in different eras during which, these instruments of peculiar and mysteriously attractive sound "always represented joy, comfort and beauty”.
