Powerful Celtic Sound

"The suite is a moving expression of a Pilgrim's journey, and a powerful evocation of a Celtic spirit. The orchestra, choirs, and pipe bands are all excellent, as are the soloists. This CD is a must for anyone who enjoys the Relief of Derry Symphony, also by Shaun Davey, anyone who enjoys the music of Riverdance, or anyone who enjoys rich classical music."

So beautiful you want to share it

"An American friend and I were driving in Ireland when we bought this album. We listened in our small rental car as we travelled on narrow roads seeing for the first time the relics of ancient Ireland ~ and the music helped to capture our mood. When the piece from St. Patrick's Breastplate, "The Deers Cry", played, we looked at one another, stunned. It struck a chord from our Irish ancestry and we could only respond by playing the piece again and then again. That happened nearly 4 years ago and this music still never fails to call me to a deep reverence for the glory that is Ireland."

Going Home

"For anyone who has the slightest bit of Celtic blood, this music and narrative will awaken ancestral memories and cause your sunconscious to declare, "I'm home". And those who have visited enchanted Ireland will want to rush to the phone to order return tickets. The suite is decidedly a "spiritual" journey, but even agnostics can appreciate many of the pieces. The poetry and music are exceptional! Bravo, Shaun Davey!"
