Why This CD Matters
This 13-track collection brings together Irish and Celtic musicians for a mostly acoustic take on seasonal music. It moves from Máire Breatnach and Séamus Brett’s lively “Cornphíopa Ciorcalach” to the quieter “Christ Child Lullaby” and Nightnoise’s “Ar Pont Nevez.” The mix of folk tunes, traditional songs, and reflective arrangements makes it a relaxed alternative to a standard carol collection.
