Most of the music on this Celtic Earth album is traditional and taken from Govannen concert sets, but arranged to reflect many influences. Celtic Earth was inspired by the migration of the Celtic tribes and their music travelling from their origins across Europe, settling in the Celtic lands, before travelling all over the Earth. This beautiful, new age music is highly recommended for healing arts environments, relaxation and pure enjoyment.
About Celtic Music:
Celtic music feels connected to the earth and landscapes that helped form it. Rural music, a hint of the wild countryside, and a touch of the rocky coasts facing the sea. Not so long ago Celtic music was mostly only heard in the Celtic lands of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Isle Of Man, and Galicia. Celtic music is now global, as interest has spread with the rise of international stars like The Chieftans, Dubliners, Pogues, Alan Stivell, The Moving Hearts and shows like Riverdance, Dan Ar Braz's Heritage Of the Celts and, of course, films. Many countries now have their own Celtic music bands. Celtic music has also formed the basis of other folk musics, such as American country and bluegrass.
Celtic music has in turn soaked up other influences from other genres and cultures. This keeps it a fresh, living and evolving music. However, the Celtic roots can still clearly be heard and seems completely at home in so many settings.
