Editorial Review:
Description
Mystic Ireland, rich in culture, forgotten, rediscovered and now more popular than ever. Ireland's musical tradition stretches far back into the past. Irish songs and ballads: many have their origins in the ancient Gaelic poetic tradition, and are characterized by idiosyncratic Irish rhythms and verse order. This is true of the prayers set to music here; they derive from the Middle Ages (parts of them have even come down to us in the Gaelic language), and they were collected and written down by Benedictine friars from the Emerald Isle. The music conjures up a mystical image of the atmosphere of long-ago days, a journey back to the roots of Celtic culture. Using the instruments native to Ireland such as the fiddle, harp and guitar, mystical ballads came into being whose words and music carry us away into a world of harmony, calm and meditation.
