David’s wife Dari composed these thematic melodies on bowed psaltery, hammer dulcimer and piano. David provides the arrangements and accompanies her on guitar and harp. The eclectic music of Chantilly Mae utilizes many modes, with genres ranging from Medieval to Klezmer, sometimes sounding Spanish, Irish or like a soundtrack from an American western! The title piece, which Dari wrote for her grandmother, sounds to David like a Ladino (Medieval/Spanish/Jewish) melody, and with the addition of an esraj (a 19-stringed bowed instrument from India), the piece falls squarely into the realm of World Fusion—David's specialty. And this piece later became the theme music for a CNN International show about Copenhagen in their series My City, My Life.
