Tammy (author) from North Carolina on March 17, 2012: I'm not very familiar with the artists but I do enjoy listening to it. It is great to know you've compiled an extensive list of Celtic music. Jennifer Essary from Idaho on March 17, 2012: When you hear country and bluegrass you know where it all comes from. Many classics in there and I love the crossover with Americana. Shinkicker from Scotland on March 18, 2012: Thanks Jennifer! These are great to listen to with some green beer. Thanks so much for reading and commenting. We love the Celtic Heritage here in the United States. :) I am glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you taking the time to read and share! Thanks Molometer! My apologies to the Welsh and Cornish. Patrick's Day also and I appreciate your visit. These songs are comforting, soothing, and entertaining all at the same time. Thanks for reading and responding fpherj48. Tammy (author) from North Carolina on March 18, 2012: Hi tammy! I love the Chieftains!! though I'm not sure if I've heard their Battle of Aughrim song.are most of the artists here on the more contemporary side? (because I don't know anyone else here besides Chieftains, Corrs Celtic Woman and Enya ) and I like more traditional-y sounding celtic music :) StellaSee from California on April 04, 2012: They do a great version of Johnny Jump Up and the Heart of the Ocean. They stay very true to the celtic traditional sounds. Gaelic Storm is an excellent contemporary band. Thanks for reading and commenting StellaSee. Tammy (author) from North Carolina on April 05, 2012: I didn't previously know about all these Celtic singers and music and this is a great catalog of Celtic music for me. I love Celtic music and songs as I have a bit of Welsh in me. Tammy: What a wonderful hub! I so enjoyed reading this and listening to the music. Suzette Walker from Taos, NM on March 18, 2014: Thanks for this hub! Just another link to that age and to this age as well. I may even put this link in those posts about Camelot and the players and the lives of those who lived then. There be too many things and stories that collaborate that people just don't see. I am half Welsh myself and delve into the tales and legends and truth of Camelot on Bubblews. Thank you!! UP+++ pinnedĭebra Allen from West By God on March 18, 2014: This is BEAUTIFUL!!! How I LOVE Celtic music. Suzie from Carson City on March 18, 2014:
#HISTORY OF CELTIC MUSIC MOVIE#
The song was featured in the movie Margaret's Museum, with Helena Bonham Carter. Also from Cape Breton is The Rankin Family.their song "Chi Mi Na Morbheanna" brings me to tears. I encourage you to look up the music of Natalie MacMaster, she finely represents traditional Cape Breton fiddle music and is popular worldwide.
Nova Scotia is also the only place outside of the west coast of Europe where the Gaelic language is spoken (it is officially its own variant of Scots Gaelic, as it has been isolated for so long). The region has strong historic and cultural ties to Scotland, Nova Scotia meaning "New Scotland." Traditional music is very popular and it is not uncommon to find local ceilidhs in most small communities, and families that still come together to play traditional fiddle or pipe music during evenings.
Nova Scotia for instance is home to the Celtic Colours festival on Cape Breton Island, one of the largest celtic music festivals in the world. Just respectfully chiming in here! Many parts of Canada are still quite culturally connected to the celtic world in music, folklore, and even accents. I did notice a few snickers and/or shock towards Loreena McKennit being from Canada. The Gael-"The Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack" Orthodox Celts-"The Star of the County Down"ģ6. Celtic Legends-"The Irish Washer Woman"ĩ. Lark and Spur-"Down by the Sally Gardens"ģ4. Cherish the Ladies-"Ballad of the Fox Hunter"ħ.
James Horner-"The Braveheart Soundtrack"ġ9. The Chieftains-"The Battle of Aughrim"ģ0. Denez Prigent with Lisa Gerrard-"Gortoz a ran-J'attends"ġ7.
