THIS IS A WONDERFUL MP3 CHRISTMAS COMPILATION OF BEST CELTIC MUSIC! Enjoy this great compilation of Celtic Woman in 3 parts: 1. Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration 2. Celtic Woman: A Celtic Family 3. Celtic Woman: Home for Christmas 1. Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration Celtic Woman Warms up Winter with 'A Christmas Celebration'. Featuring singers ChloI Agnew, Orla Fallon, Lisa Kelly and Meav NI Mhaolchatha, and fiddler MairEad Nesbitt, the album is a joyous celebration of the Christmas season, performed by this Irish supergroup that has captured the imagination of fans across America. One of the more impressive things about A Christmas Celebration is its glowing immediacy. The record's rich vocals and colorful instrumentals create a concert-like setting, reprising the season's most loved hymns, carols, and pop standards, along with a Gaelic version of "That Night in Bethlehem." Unexpected numbers such as "Christmas Pipes" and "Carol of the Bells" (here led by the spirited fiddling of Mariread Nesbitt) only enhance an already engaging disc that finely weaves between the piety of classical music and the playfulness of pop. Chloe Agnew, Orla Fallon, Lisa Kelly, and Meav Ni Mhaolchatha combine their Celtic voices against orchestral arrangements and sparser settings--spiked with the traditional Irish fare of uilleann pipes, harp, and ancient choral harmony--to deliver an assortment of reverent but lively arrangements that wouldn't be out of place at a church, concert hall, or good Irish celli. --Martin Keller. This is by far one of the most enchanting and magical Christmas melodies I've listened to in a long time! If you were impressed with Celtic Woman, I promise that these celtic melodies will not disappoint! Every track is most worthy of its own private review. The vocals are stunning, Mairead's violin performances are magical, and the accompanying instruments are so beautiful that I guarantee that you will be carried away to another time and place. This first part itself is filled with traditional carols (O Holy Night, Silent Night, Ding Dong Merrily on High, Carol of the Bells, O Come All Ye Faithful), contemporary carols (White Christmas, The Christmas Song, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, The Little Drummer Boy, Let it Snow) and a couple of carols I was not familiar with (Christmas Pipes, Panis Angelicus, Don Oiche Ud I Mbeithil and the Wexford Carol). Christmas Pipes is a fun, more energetic song that brings to mind gatherings with friends, kissing under the mistletoe and sharing hot cocoa. Panis Angelicus is a gentle, soothing song, while Don Oiche Ud I Mbeithil (That Night in Bethlehem) is so tender and contemplative that it brought tears to my eyes. The Wexford Carol brings to mind carolers in Victorian England. Both the traditional carols and the more contemporary carols are so beautifully done that I can't imagine that anyone could ever do a more beautiful version. I would have to say I love the entire part of this Christmas Celtic Woman melodies, and find that I want to listen to the whole thing over and over rather than skipping from song to song. I would highly recommend "Celtic Woman A Christmas Celebration" to anyone wishing to make this season more magical and inspired for themselves and their loved ones. The lovely and all so talented young women from the Emerald Isle have once again achieved perfection. The long awaited Christmas Celtic Music "A Christmas Celebration" is finally out and is it ever a treat for the whole family! Shot in Dublin, back in July just three weeks after the show completed a wildly successful five month concert tour of the US performing the "A New Journey" show. Dazzling in the most beautiful gowns and lovely stage settings Orla, Lisa, Chloe, Mairead and Meav (making her farewell appearance, sorry that's what we're told) breath new life into many of our favorite Christmas classics. Backed by the world famous Irish Film Orchestra, the Celtic Woman band and choir, the ensemble entertain to the max! A few of the highlights, and beleive me there are many- White Christmas: Chloe, Lisa and Meav, The Little Drummer Boy: duet by Orla and Chloe, Oh Holy Night: ensemble, Away in a Manger: Orla, The Christmas Song: Lisa, O Come All Ye Faithful: ensemble, Let It Snow: ensemble, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas: ensemble, The First Noel: ensemble, The Christmas Song: Lisa and many more. These very gifted young women blew this writer away with their first concert and they just keep getting better and better. The "A New Journey" live at Slane Castle is from all aspects a perfect music video yet the "A Christmas Celebration" takes perfection to a higher level. With the great success the show is having the girls appear to be having more fun than ever if that's possible. We'll really miss Meav, her wonderful voice, charm and grace is irreplaceable and we hope she can rejoin the show somewhere down lifes road. 2.
