Thanks for maintaining this community for us Glen!
I know how I'll be celebrating New Year's Eve again: by playing the most epic Auld Lang Syne version of all time, the Magic of Christmas edition!

Lascia Ch'io Pianga?
It doesn't have English tho...
That is correct!

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.

According to the Tour History spreadsheet, tonight in Denver is Tara's 500th show as a member of Celtic Woman! That's including the DVD recordings (except for Destiny, since she wasn't a member yet, and Postcards filming, since that was not audience attended) and excluding one show she missed after taking a tumble and banging up her leg. That's 500 audiences she's enchanted across the world! Here's to 500 amazed audiences

I am a programmer, maybe I could try to make a bot to extract the data from those pages. Well, if anyone wants to join forces DM me, please.
I will need help to organize this in a cohesive way and then restore it somewhere.
Yes, that would be the approach.
Pulling some metadata from the posts could also be important (especially the date and timestamp, maybe the username). Fortunately, that metadata should be presented consistently within posts, so whatever is crawling through the forum could identify and extract it.

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

It was on "A Celtic Family Christmas" EP (the collaboration with The High Kings).

I added The Magic of Christmas, Celebration, Postcards from Ireland, and 20th Anniversary as options in the poll.

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...
That's the one! Well done!

On Emma's FB post sharing the behind the scenes image of the 20th anniversary show, the Helen Jordan Stage school posted a pic of Emma and other students being a part of Chloe's mom pantomime. The person circled in black is Emma and I think the blonde in the far upper right is Chloe
Nice find! I merged this into this old "Ties of the Past" discussion where we were keeping track of the cool past associations between Celtic Woman performers. How proud must their instructors be, knowing two of their students went on to celebrate the 20th anniversary the most beautiful show in the world, together on stage?

The High Kings released a single "Where I Belong at Christmas," a Christmas remix of "Where I Belong" from The Road Not Taken album.
Both versions are incredible and it's my favourite original High Kings song. 10/10!

The casino shows in the US seem to do that. The casino shows I've been to in Canada (granted, there haven't been many) have had intermission and a full set list. I have a ticket to the Casino Rama CW show in spring next year, so we'll see how that goes.
