An enjoyable, authentic collection includes "Maire Ni Bhraonain, "Aililiu Na Gamhna", "Sraid an Chloig", "Far Over the Forth".
Tears of Stone became the venerable Chieftains' first No. 1 album in their homeland.....a masterpiece.
A celebration of the million-selling Winter Solstice series, this all-new recording once again paints an instrumental portrait of quiet rebirth that is the shortest day of the year.... countes the commercialism of Christmas with truly inspirational sounds. Largely original compositions are topped by a new version of "Greensleeves," sure to conjure holiday magic.
[Original Broadway Cast] -not from the film which starred Richard Harris-
New Age yet captures the past. Many of the tracks on ANCIENT JOURNEYS evoke the adventures of the great explorers -- like the lively Spanish dance with panpipes that's so fitting for "Da Gama," where Marco Polo is portrayed loping along at a camel's pace -- or exotic locales, such as the mysterious "Byzantium." ...."The Crusades," is both the most moving and the most intriguing. The drums of war beat wearily, and the choirs of Crusaders sound beaten down. Things liven up when they encounter snappy Middle Eastern percussion, and after a flurry, the choral procession continues, led by the hopeful sounds of the pipes. From the Cradle of Civilization to the Age of Discovery, the worldbeat ensemble Cusco presents a dramatic, richly textured landscape commemorating ancient journeys that have changed the vision of the world.
"The 1986 release from this feminist ensemble is a departure from their previous recordings -- it represents Libana's spiritual basis of celebrating community and reverence for the rootedness of ritual, the Earth, the nuances of seasons, the solitude of meditation, and the Divine within." ~ Ladyslipper ... inspired by the religions of ancient civilizations and performed in exotic musical modes from Greece and Asia -- it seems to transport you to ceremonial temples. On the gently suspenseful title track, Halpern chants hauntingly behind Kelly's concert harp. "Apollo's Lyre" is a delicate interplay between Kelly and Halpern's bell-toned clarion. They seem to conjure the stately and mysterious music of ancient Greece and Egypt from thin air. Perfect for relaxation, meditation, or massage, Ancient Echoes is a true original...

Some of the most delectably written and produced Celtic-themed instrumental music ever recorded by anybody. "Equos Fair" starts off with a spirited quotation of original and traditional themes on pipes, tin whistle harp, guitar, and drums, with horns -- this is memorable, alternately exciting and soothing, and one of the most worthwhile releases in the Windham Hill catalog.
Druidic theme. If you love soft Celtic melodies, Enya and New Age topics, you will love this CD.
Performed by Jewel and other artists.
Loreena! The Celtic mystery priestess throws theology, romantic poetry, and pagan symbology around like rice at a wedding. She arrays her whispery voice in a synth-drenched coat of groovy ethnic sounds and ignores the boundaries separating "traditional," "pop," and "classical." --considerable musical skill and strong grasp of traditional song forms works, too. She's an excellent harpist/accordionist with a great ear for sonic links between various traditions --on "Marco Polo," the flavor is alluring, sort of like a laid-back younger sister to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir." --delivers myriad pleasures.
It's a rare traditional music lover who doesn't gush all purple at mere mention of LIEGE & LIEF. Voted the best folk album of all time by the readers of Britain's Folk Roots magazine.
This musical tribute to ancient Egypt was originally composed in 1978 for the King Tutankhamun exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum. It was inspired by the artistry of the ancient treasures and the religious symbolism of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which suggested titles of the compositions. Only traditional Near Eastern instruments were used in making this recording, like the nay, salamiyyah, buzuq, mijwiz, mizmar and others.
Performed by Mannheim Steamroller in their own unique style. Arguably their greatest holiday record, thanks to lovely versions of "Angels We Have Heard on High," "Joy to the World," "Pat-a-Pan," "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."
Between Father Sky and Mother Earth: Songs are a heritage in Native American cultures, used for medicine of all kinds, for links to animal life, to the spirit world, to the heart, to the mind. This wonderful collection takes stock of both the traditional and the modern forms. Between Father Sky and Mother Earth is by no means an ultimate collection of Native American music (a single disc isn't room enough by far), but it is one that can be considered both an essential starting point and an excellent waystation.

We hope you will check out these links to the music that celebrates the Goddess and venerates the Earth. We have included some modern "witchy" selections as well, some of which are New Age style. Some are Celtic & some very old chants are included. Please follow the links to hear samples from the CDs. If you love music relating to worship and praise of the Goddess, Nature, and Living Things, please listen to these selections. (You'll need 'Real Player' which can be downloaded for free.)
We have searched long and hard to offer a broad and varied selection of music relating to Goddess worship. We've tried to find recordings made using the original compositions rather than modern arrangements, and using musical instruments like those for which the music was written, rather than new instruments. 
The spirit of the Great Goddess comes to life as traditional female singers, priestesses and shamans from Celtic, Afro-American, Yoruba, Hawaiian, East Indian, Hungarian, and Native American traditions are joined by the renowned On Wings of Song singers. The music is both ageless and contemporary, ranging from the 11th Century plainsong of Hildegard of Bingen to ecstatic gospel rock, all set in natural environmental backgrounds of birds, rivers, cicadas and crickets, humpback whales and the ocean.
Holding up Half the Sky: Voices of Celtic Women Vol.2:
Each song, whether lullaby, lament, or love song, is in a perfect setting, like a fine gem. The orchestration for "The Death of Queen Jane" (about one of King Henry VIII's wives), for example, uses instruments appropriate to the period: lute, harpsichord, and viola da gamba. But the point of this album is the singing, and Méav's vocal purity will keep luring you back for more.
If you could actually hear the joyful, life-giving qualities of the sun's energy, Sun Spirit is how it would sound. Use this exquisite music for massage, hot tubs, creative visualizations, romantic evenings, or just feelin' good.
