Celtic Woman 20th Anniversary Tour / Has anyone noticed this on the DVD?
« on: February 04, 2024, 06:34:26 AM »
My copy of the DVD arrived yesterday (along with the CD) and having just ran through a couple of songs with it, there's a little gimmick I'd like to point out just in case no one has noticed yet, or are wanting to know about the DVD before picking it up.

You know how, if you live a country like the UK, Europe or Australia, if you get a DVD release of a film, its audio track is most commonly pitched up a semitone? Well, that's the case with this DVD as well. This was very rare, considering most of the other Celtic Woman DVDs I own are all in their original pitch.

There's nothing about it which poses a problem by all means - I just thought I'd let everyone be aware of it while I could  :)

If anyone wants to change Emma's forum profile picture, here's one you can use (from the About section of the Celtic Woman website)  :)

I hope that, like in previous milestones, Celtic Woman release a compilation album for their 20th anniversary.

If they do, what tracks would you like to see featured? Do you think they'll be from previous albums or new re-recordings?

A little late to the party, but here's Lisa performing Amhrán na bhFiann just before kick-off at Ireland's recent EURO 2024 qualifier against France: https://youtu.be/61dZ2Cx7UuY

France may have won and September's a long time to wait for the Irish to get their revenge, but at least this anthem didn't dampen anyone's spirits  ;D

A Christmas Symphony Tour 2022 / A quick favor to ask
« on: November 26, 2022, 04:03:28 AM »
Would anyone bother recording the Holiday Edition of the Postcards from Ireland special and PMing me a Google Drive file of it afterwards?

My assumptions are that it will probably be a mix of songs featured on the regular special and those from the recent EP  :)

A Christmas Symphony Tour 2022 / The Toys' Waltz
« on: November 04, 2022, 08:17:14 AM »
The Christmas Cards from Ireland EP has now released, and with it comes a song entitled The Toys' Waltz (which we're possibly going to get a music video for judging by this Facebook post - https://www.facebook.com/celticwoman/videos/-new-musicceltic-woman-is-delighted-to-announce-the-release-of-the-new-ep-christ/1157796211486042/).

The description of the EP lists this as an original song, but I'd like to make a few things clear: while it IS an original song that was written and composed by Daragh O'Toole, it wasn't written especially for CW. Rather, it is the third of four movements in his Ballymun Lullaby suite, which comprises four original songs for choir and orchestra, and was first recorded by Ron Cooney's Ballymun Music Programme alongside the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and Cór na nÓg conducted by David Brophy back in 2009. There is a 2011 documentary film entitled Ballymun Lullaby which looks at the making of the EP (unfortunately, I've had no luck finding the full thing online, but there are trailers and clips available on YouTube).

So, what are your thoughts on CW's version? I liked it a lot. The harmonies are really good, and I was a little bit surprised but happy to hear Susan's voice on it as well.
