On DVD, this song was the first to feature a stringed instrument on the main stage that wasn't played by Máiréad Nesbitt or Órla Fallon and wasn't a piano.

Hmm. Good question. I would have guessed "Isle of Inisfree" also.

I'll take a guess but it's just a guess. I'm thinking of songs that feature a guitar. ??? So I'll guess "Carolina Rua"...

That did have a nice guitar feature on camera to go along with Lynn's charm. I think the guitarist was still positioned with the band though and that one got omitted from the Songs from the Heart DVD, although it found its place in the hearts of fans on YouTube. The one I'm thinking of, the performer starts on the main stage. The singers move around more than the performer during the song.

Ok, let me try one more time. This is a better guess, as the last one I was just going off of the melody in my head.

'A Woman's Heart' has a cello player on the main stage. I just don't know if it's the first song that fits your original question...

Oh I'm a little surprised.  :o

I need to research a question that I've been thinking of. BRB

This song is written by a famous 18th century composer.

The music / melody itself was used at least 3 times in different compositions. CW covered the 3rd version.

Name that tune.

Without fully thinking this through:
Vivaldi's Rain?

Vivaldi (1678-1741) did compose music during the 18th century (1700s), including the work for which he is probably best known: The Four Seasons. The Winter largo from Four Seasons was covered by Hayley in 2003-ish as River of Dreams and apparently Mùa Đôn released a song based on the melody in 2005. If there weren't any other well-documented instances of artists leveraging this lovely melody for their own purposes, that would make Celtic Woman's "Vivaldi's Rain" the 3rd version.

No, sorry. But that's a great guess.

Let me clarify the 2nd part of the clue:

The music / melody itself was used at least 3 times in different compositions by the original composer in the 18th century. CW covered the 3rd version.


I'll add more hints later as needed.

Handel's Lascia Ch'io Pianga (previously used as an Asian dance in Almira, then re-puprosed as "Lascia la spina" in Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno, then lastly Lascia Ch'io Pianga in Rinaldo). If you write a good melody, you might as well milk it for all its worth.

Yes! You got it!

Lascia Ch'io Pianga = 'Let Me Weep' in English.

I love CW's cover of this song!

This song was the 7th solo to be performed on a Celtic Woman DVD in a language other than English.

This song was the 7th solo to be performed on a Celtic Woman DVD in predominately or entirely a language other than English.

Hints:
It's from A New Journey.
I'm counting songs that had some English words as long as most of the song was non-English.
I'm not counting songs that have some non-English words / phrases if a significant portion of the lyrics were English.
It was a correct answer to one of the previous questions.
