Various Artists - Celtic Moods: 2CDs of Relaxing Irish Music (2015)

Time was when Celtic music meant only raucous accordions in echoing dancehalls. But the music always had its beautiful airs and slow, haunting themes. Here, on 2CDs, is a sensitive selection of Celtic-themed music: Relax Celtic style with contemporary tracks such as Orinoco Flow, Linger and Songbird and traditional songs such as Danny Boy and Galway Bay. Rising up from the Iberian peninsula, over the span of two millennia the Celts engaged in cycles of conquest and retreat that left pockets of their descendents across Western Europe. The most evident homelands of the Celtic people are Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall and Wales, where they play a dominant cultural role and where their languages still are spoken side by side with English.
