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

Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration (with Christmas Ornament)
Celtic Dreams

In 1994, Irish soprano Mèav Nì Mhaolchatha (pronounced Mäev Nee Wail-cot-ha) became a featured soloist with Anùna, Michael McGlynn’s Dublin-based choral ensemble. Her star rose after the group toured with the Riverdance troupe and quickly achieved international renown. Then, in 2005, an extravaganza called Celtic Woman debuted, and its five female singers—Méav plus Chloë, Lisa, Ã?rla, and Máiréad—followed its massive success with a torrent of solo albums: Méavâ??s eponymous release (2002) and Silver Sea (2004) are only two examples thereof. These offered still more Enya-esque, mostly ethereal ballads from Irish and other sources: all very effective in their way but pure mass-market show-biz and best avoided by die-hard traditional music fans. But the material on the current reissue dates back to the Riverdance era and is another matter entirely. It showcases thirteen tracks recorded by Anùna during the original Riverdance sessions, the vast majority with Méav singing lead. The stately and elegiac program harbors recollections of composers Edward MacDowell and more recently, Patrick Cassidy, or even Ralph Vaughn-Williams, who so often incorporated British folk and early music sources into his works. –Christina Roden

More info: Irish dance is a group of traditional dance forms originating in Ireland which can broadly be divided into social dance and performance dances. Irish social dances can be divided further into céilà and set dancing. Irish set dances are quadrilles, danced by 4 couples arranged in a square, while céilà dances are danced by varied formations (ceili) of couples of 2 to 16 people. In addition to their formation, there are significant stylistic differences between these two forms of social dance. Irish social dance is a living tradition, and variations in particular dances are found across the Irish dance community; in some places, dances are deliberately modified and new dances are choreographed.
