520 1 $a"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 lamenting ballads. It is unaccompanied singing, feverish fiddle tunes, the haunting strains of a Highland bagpipe, and the sweet music of the uilleann pipes. It can be heard in the modern rock arrangements of U2, Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor, and Hothouse Flowers; beneath the fundamental chords of hillbilly and bluegrass music; and on the distinctive film soundtracks of Braveheart and Titanic. It comes not just from Ireland and Scotland, but also from Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man, and Cornwall." "In the first guide to chart the history and influences of this musical tradition, Celtic Music explores its evolution from 12th-century bardic roots to the exciting developments on the contemporary scene. June Skinner Sawyers examines the music and dance styles fundamental to the Celtic tradition - reels, jigs, ballads, airs, and carols - as well as the unmistakable Celtic impact on quintessential American folk and rock musicians such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Woody Guthrie. She profiles hundreds of artists, and compiles suggestions for recommended listening, including "100 Essential Celtic Recordings." Packed also with lists of Celtic festivals and publications, record outlets, record labels, and music schools, Celtic Music is the essential primer for all lovers of the music."--Jacket.
