Music reviews of Beyond Horizon
Music Review: A Spirited Mystic Journey into the Celtic Realms
Rating: 4 Stars
Connemara is an East Coast Celtic Group based out of Maryland and Washington D.C.'s large Celtic Music scene and consists of the team of Vocalist/Guitarist Grace Griffith and Fiddler/Arranger Cathy Palmer. On this (their second recording & first CD release), they are joined by a number of musicians which includes harpist Tracie Brown and guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Zan McLeod, who also produced this album. It is a mystic and evocotive journey into the Celtic Realms, and sure to please anyone who loves heartfelt music. The album moves from dreamy airs and laments, to rousing jigs, reels and strathspeys and leaves you wanting more. The album opens with the beautiful "Gloomy Winter's Now Away", by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill, a rarely recorded gem which in this example leaves you breathless. Other pieces to note which features Grace's beautifully ethereal and unique voice include the Robert Burns poem "My Heart's in the Highlands", which truely makes you want to be there, the Dougie Maclean song "The Emigrant", Clannad's "The Poison Glen", here featuring only Grace and Zan, and a rousing version of "Free and Easy", about the famous female Irish pirate Grace O'Malley. Harpist Tracie Brown's shining moment comes with the O'Carolan piece "Separation of the Soul and Body" and from the Bunting manuscript of the Ancient Music of Ireland-"Get Up Early." Cathy Palmer's instumentals include "Dance on Daddy's Shoes/Christina's Jig/Speed the Plow" and a beautiful version of the Scottish strathspey "Fiddler, Play the Light" here arranged as a slow air. All in all this is a beautiful album by one of America's best, but lesser know Celtic groups, and will please the listeners of Celtic, World and New Age Music.
