Celtic Woman: A New Journey

Post by BrianIsSmilingAtYou »

I happened to be flipping the channels when I saw that NJN, the New Jersey PBS station, had a special with a group called Celtic Woman from a performance filmed at Slane Castle.

I had never heard of them before, but they seemed to be quite good, and I was quite charmed by the soloists delicious Irish accents. :love:

The selection of songs was filled with few surprises, old standards like Greensleeves, Danny Boy, and arrangements of well-known popular songs like "Somewhere" from West Side Story.

It's lovely music, Brian! :love:

Here's an Amazon link with samples, including "May It Be":

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
