Background: The Old Testament figure, David, who was able to alleviate King Saul's depressions, has become through the ages a symbol of music itself. The plucking of strings by fingertips has an almost magical healing power and there is no instrument better suited for this than the harp.

The fascinating personality of David has for centuries inspired numerous composers. This CD presents a sample of compositions with David as the central figure and the musical instrument often mentioned in the texts, his harp.
