An Exaltation Of Larks
Brian Cameron

This collection of classical, Renaissance, bluegrass and other fingerpicking
songs are some of my favorite pieces to play.  I highlight when each song
was composed aside from the classical pieces written by Matteo Carcassi
(1792-1853), Mauro Giuliana (1780-1829), Georg Handel (1685-1759), and
Fernando Sor (1778-1839).  The process of recording these pieces has been
highly rewarding and beneficial.  Although the material took a few months to
play, over two years of preparation went into this CD.  I hope you enjoy
listening to the results.

This material was recorded in Dublin, Ireland from November, 2002 through
Februrary, 2003.  It was recorded using the following equipment: Classical
guitar by A. Morales (made in 2001), Shure KSM32 microphone, Mackie 808S FR
mixer/EQ/amplifier, Sonic Foundry's Sound Forge 5.0 was used to record and
equalize the material.
