From time to time I will throw in a CD. Music. I came across this one while I was searching for new Kindle Books on Amazon. And it grabbed my attention. Listen! :)
This is the first CD in the series "Celtic Songs of Worship." The musical moods range from rollicking jigs and reels to meditative reflections, from songs in traditional sean-nos style to a choir. Many of the songs combine exquisite Irish or Scottish melodies (such as used by Robbie Burns), often hundreds of years old, with new Christian lyrics and richly evocative harmonies. Three tracks are in Gaelic. As well, two well-known hymn texts are sung to traditional Irish folksong tunes.
Customer Review: Awesome Celtic Christian Music!
To describe these Celtic CD's as delightful, lovely or simply awesome would be an understatement... They are both superb!! I listened to them recently with rapt attention, while with my children up at our family cottage. While doing so, our tiny cottage was engulfed by a massive rainstorm, whose rolling thunder echoed across the lake, and lightning turned the nightime into day. It made me realize the power of the Irish Gaelig title for Jesus as the "Ri Na Dul" (King of the Elements).
Notwithstanding the noise outside, the music soothed my children's fears and they were soon fast asleep. As for me, I listened with great intent to every song, noting its singers/musicians, and the detailed research that went into each piece. I was delightfully transported to landscapes, seascapes & skyscapes of Eire, the Scottish Hebrides, Wales (Pembrokeshire)and of course, Holy Island. I wholeheartedly endorse these entrancing, exquisite tunes. Move over Enya & Loreena McKennitt!
Customer Review: Love the sound...
This CD, as well as it's companion "God Above, God Below", are of extremely high quality musically. I am especially impressed with the words, well crafted and set to traditional melodies. It gives a pleasant mix of familiar and new to the listening experience. I play it often, and find myself humming the tunes throughout the day. Highly recommend it!
