Legend tells of Isolde who fell in love with Tristan, the nephew of her husband the King of Cornwall. At their deaths the king ordered the lovers be buried far apart but an ivy shoot grew from each grave and eventually entwined in a lovers’ knot to reunite them. What is not so well known about the legend is that Tristan was a musician who played the harp for his beloved Isolde.
