Celtic Song

From the Traditions of Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales

The Celts have always been a people of songs. Stories, legends, and wise sayings were better remembered when put to music. While the melodies may have faded, the wisdom of these songs still rises from mountain, valley, and bog to lift the spirit and encourage the modern wayfarer.

While music has always been an integral part of the lives of the people of the British Isles and the diaspora around the world, an exploration of why this is so has seldom been explored. Celtic Song will take listeners on a journey to the past through a medium that uplifts the spirit and speaks to the heart.

A Fascinating Piece of Writing

I enjoyed this short essay regarding the role of music in the lives of those who live in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales. Although I'm sure more could be written regarding this subject, I thought the piece was well-written with obvious signs that the subject had been deeply researched. I appreciated this brief introduction regarding this material. I thought Brendan Curran's narration was lovely. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
