    Music of the Celts

    Did anyone see the ABC (BBC) series on TV called "The Celts"?

    I was always impressed with the music, the other day I bought it, the group is called Adiemus, and features the amazing voice of Miriam Stockley.

    pretty good music!

    Graham,
    I, too, was struck by the soundtrack. I haven't purchased it, but I have several of the tracks on a CD given to me by a friend. Good series, better music.

    Graham, that is an excellent musical choice. I have not seen that series, but I was introduced to Adiemus in high school. I was in marching band, and my freshmen year we performed selections from the first Adiemus album. I got ahold of the album after that, and really enjoy the music quite a bit, as I did when performing it.

    well having seen the excellent series on the celts, I now associate the music with it, and i really think that the tracks Adiemus and Elegia capture the whole romance and mystery of the celtic people. At least in my mind anyway.

    I just keep wanting to play the tracks over and over, brilliant stuff!

    I haven't heard the music, but I have a book based on the series.

    Perhaps Graham and I are talking about two different series?
