Lumedia Musicworks, an early classical ensemble, will juxtapose Celtic fiddling tunes with Baroque masterpieces of a similar flavor in its upcoming concert A New Celtic Journey. Celtic folk songs will feature vocalists who share an affinity for this music.
The ensemble performs on instruments made to look and sound like those used when Irish fiddling was born. The song lyrics include English and Gaelic. Rumor has it that one traditional Celtic tune on the program, "Carolan’s Dream," was the inspiration for Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." French Baroque tambourins, Irish reels and an Appalachian folk song contribute to the Journey.
