Why This CD Matters
This collection brings together Celtic musicians from Ireland, Scotland, and beyond for a mix of seasonal songs and original pieces. The program moves from Phil Cunningham and Mánus Lunny’s “When The Snow Melts” to Carlos Núñez’s “Galician Carol” and Loreena McKennitt’s “Snow,” blending acoustic folk textures with reflective winter melodies. It offers a varied introduction to the Celtic side of holiday music.
