Celtic music stirs a deep desire in me to frolic about on sunny fields of clovers, sleep under the constellations and marvel at the beauty of God’s creation..
Does it do the same for you?
What else does it make you want to to do?

i would rather shave my head.

Where can i find Irish/Celtic/scottish violin/fiddle music?

February 32010

Im looking for irish/celtic/scottish music to play on my violin, fiddle music is fine as well. But heres the catch, i need to be able to download it and open it in Finale Notepad. Also if you would happen to be familiar with the Aa! Megami-sama anime i was hoping i might find a song or two like the opening songs.

Does anyone know the stereotypical Celtic music target audience (age, gender)?

January 172010

For media I have to design a music magazine, and I’ve chosen Celtic music as my genre. I need to design it for a specific audience but I’m not sure what it is.

Well my BF is a Scottish musician who has been in several Celtic bands, specifically traditional Irish and Scottish music, with some other Celtic nations stuff thrown in… NOT the new Loreena McKennit or Enya type or newagey stuff, or the Clancy Brothers drinking song type stuff either. From i see of the audiences they are greyhaired over 40, even over 50, old folkies, with some younger Ren Fair types thrown in. There are younger musicians from Canada and Ireland that are into it though, too. But generally, it looks like an older group, from what I’ve observed.

Why am i so attached to celtic music soo much?

November 222009

For some reason when i hear Celtic/Irish slow music like clannad, etc, something deep in my blood and soul stirs..i dont know why. I’m from Detroit, MI USA lol… I feel like im part of the music or something. I never knew i loved this music so much. Why could this be?

I’m of Irish descent, so I understand the feeling. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend many reenactment events, hearing music performed on traditional instruments, which makes it even better than most professionals. It’s not necessarily being part Irish, I suppose, since my friend, who is a mixture of Swiss, German and other nationalities is strongly drawn to the music, which I introduced her to. She had been surrounded by polkas and other ethnic music but never Irish/Celtic/traditional.

However, for me it’s not only the slow music but also the jigs and reels. All of it has a hold on me, and I have the CD and tape collection to prove it, as well as a library of music books. I play the bowed psaltery, and those melodies are among my favorites.

I think the majority of people respond to it, some more strongly than others. Riverdance and Lord of the Dance certainly spread the sound though sometimes it’s modernized. But, Clannad definitely has brought fans over.
