Celtic music means many things to many people. To some it recalls
the Irish rebel songs of the Clancy Brothers, to others the
ensemble playing of the Chieftains or Enya's ethereal vocals. Yet
Celtic music is much more than reels, jigs, and sentimental
ballads. It is also unaccompanied singing, feverish fiddle tunes,
the sweet strains of the Irish uileann pipes. It comes not just
from Ireland and Scotland but from Wales, Brittany, the Isle of
Man, and Cornwall. It informs the musical roots of Van Morrison and
U2, the performances of Riverdance, and the scores for such films
as Braveheart and Titanic. Celtic Music explores all aspects of
this music-from its roots to the exciting developments on the
contemporary scene. Sawyers profiles hundreds of artists, and
compiles suggestions for recommended listening as well as the one
hundred essential Celtic recordings. Lists of Celtic festivals and
publications are also included, together with record outlets,
record labels, and music schools, making this book essential for
all lovers of the music.
