The Celtic Order
Music during the ceremony, and recessional pieces. Prelude pieces include a haunting:
-
"My True Love's Hair" followed by an equally compelling
-
"My Lagan Love," a stately rendition of
-
"Ay Waukin O!" the second and third airs of
-
"Bridget Cruise," and more. Among the processional tracks is an elegant rendering of the "
-
Manx Courting Song," which begins with simple harp notes and then fills out with the sounds of bodhran and mandolin, and
-
"The Gentle Maiden," a harp solo. There is also a lovely waltz version of
-
"Star of the County Down." Ceremony music includes a return to
-
"Bridget Cruise" for the first and fourth airs, a poignant version of"
-
She Moved Through the Fair" that pairs harp with fiddle and then adds mandolin, and the sweet strains of
-
"Women of Ireland" and
-
many - many more.
