Irish dance music/Irish harp & Fiddle

[ShadowCyrsed]

The swing to the notes is gives it this lilting tone. Its so playful. Its almost like its taunting us to get up and dance to our heart's desire. Unlike hip hop which makes me feel like I'm going to throw up.

The harp sounds like a tall lumbering intimidating guy. The violin is a delicate little girl whose dancing and the harp and violin dance with each other. The harp's attitude towards the violin is so gentle even if the notes are deep and sound like the footsteps of a lumberjack.

@ShadowCyrsed Such lovely comments...Thank.you.  I shall pass it on to Declan.

[TheGeno28]

Im 15 years old, I play the violin and I can truly say, these three songs are true masterpieces...

I feel that these songs seems to be telling something...

I do not know what, but they seem to be telling something and these songs really awakes some emotions in me...

Thank you for the upload.

Its magnificent

[220M0]

I'm a spanish 18 years old girl and I listen to tecno and rap but sometimes I like looking for other kinds of music and I've found this song and I love it :) I wish someday I could go to Ireland because I find its culture very interesting and I want to learn more about it. I'm from a region in Spain (Galicia) with celtic roots and our music and mithology has similarities with Irish.

Nice video and grat music! :D

[maureenderry]

Thanks for your comment. I do love this piece myself....my son, Declan and Patsy met on their first year at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. They have made quite a lot of music together.

[TiggerRah]

I am Irish, French, German, and Cherokee Indian, but I've always felt Ireland tug at my heartstrings more than any of the others.

[direwolf661]

I'm Italian, English, and German, but Scottish and Irish traditions, peoples, and landscapes have always enchated me. Never met a Scot or an Irishperson i didnt like, and thats a fact!

[bubblepoprock1]

idk why everyones saying why there proud of there heritage but, im proud of my founding fathers of the United states of America and my English, irish, and Scottish ancestors. im absolutely in love with all these heritages history.:)

[TheSkyScans]

Lovely music and lovely pictures. Your sisters are very talented painters.

[maureenderry]

Thank you...I think so too.!

[safetygirl09]

I am very proud of my heritage. I was born in Northern England and I found out my father's side of the family has been part of Northern England for over a thousand years. We were part of the anglo saxons...I know we were evil bastards back then. But you something, it does not matter where you are from, just be proud of your heritage!!!

[SCOT989]

[maureenderry]

Thanks for your comment. Hope you enjoy your trip to Ireland.

[LCMS343]

This is so beautiful. I started an Irish dance class in January. Its so amazing. I'm an adult beginner. I am starting hard shoe very soon. I can't wait.

[cheerleader4lyfe235]

i hope to start Irish dancing soon, as well. =D

[originalboyinblue]

irish and love it

[cheerleader4lyfe235]

i've never seen another kind of people more proud about their heritage than us Irish. =D

[ToriNightengale]

We Canadians may be a close second my dear ;)

[cheerleader4lyfe235]

ah, yes that's true. my best friend is Canadian, and she's never been prouder of anything other than that and being Jewish. =D

[MajingoPower]

It's kinda hard to be proud of your heritage when your country is just something like 200 years old. Irish people have 3000 years old roots in their land.

I suppose that most of the european people are proud of their heritage:

Italy --> Romans

French --> Medieval Age with Cavalry and stuff and then Frenh Revo

German --> Sacred Roman Empire

Spain --> Huge Empire and colonies

England --> Biggest Empire Ever

And so on..

[Emikero]

True, I mean I'm Irish and Welsh but I lived in England and I'm proud to be a Pom, but prouder to be a Celt.

Though, with the ups of an old heratige, there are the downs.

England --> The Kings

Germany --> Hitler

France --> Britain has always bagged them out about never standing up for their country

You get the gist.

But I think, that for what it's worth, people should be proud of their heratige regardless. Even Australians, though most are decended from English convicts. But you know.

[FlameAurora]

I'm Australian and I don't really know who my ancestors were, while I'm not particularly proud of why my ancestors may have come to this country, I am proud of what we've become.

[prup3]

I am Egytptien and I am very proud of my heritage.

[prup3]

Can you speak Galeic?

[cheerleader4lyfe235]

only like, 2 words, sadly.

[prup3]

Excuse me,But I donot understand what you mean?

[cheerleader4lyfe235]

um, you asked me if i spoke Gaelic, and i answered no with the exception of 2 words.

[BeatleMonkeegirl15]

LOVE it <3 im 15% Irish ;) HAPPY ST PATTIES DAY <3

[Kaitlyn101007]

Haha, i'm 60% Irish

[xxSyphenxx]

[armuir5]

[patchbod]

really beautifully and originaly played! is this played in a certain style? perhaps its just the way the harp comes in all the time on triplet beats , but it sounds lovely anyway - great work

[Heath75032]

I never heard Otter's Holt played this slowly or this well.

[maureenderry]

Thank you for your nice comment.  Declan and Patsy work well together.
