Calling their sixth new album, Sé (pronounced Shay) – Gaelic for Six –Lúnasa continues to reinvent from a base of traditional elements of acoustic Irish music. Adding bold rhythmic frameworks, individual songs are fashioned into medleys that often incorporate a number of different grooves and spiral upward in intensity creating an album that is about as “traditionally” exciting as they come. The band’s virtuosity is evident at every turn and Lúnasa’s innovative spin on some carefully chosen, less than widely recorded material is most refreshing.
Instrumentation includes a rhythmic core of nylon and steel string guitar accompaniment, other acoustic and electric guitars, double bass, fiddles, flutes, whistles, bodhran, Uilleann pipes, a little piano and even a trombone! This recording is available at Earthsong Online. ~Lynn Alison Trombetta

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is acknowledged as the greatest natural genius of music. Tchaikovsky called him the music Christ.
Of forty-one symphonies, Mozart’s final three are among the top fifteen or twenty greatest symphonic works and several others including #’s 35,36, and 38 are ranked only a quarter stop behind. He wroth 27 piano concerto’s, many of which are considered not only among his own best instrumental works but generally unsurpassed (Beethoven challenges) in the piano concerto field.
Mozart wroth more than thirty string quartets and in quintets, Mozart is arguably Number One., with his most famous his Quintet In A for Clarinet and Strings (K.581), composed in 1789.
Mozart simply provides more charm, more grace, more of a “Fred Astaire” touch than any other composer, along with wonderful singable, seemingly unsophisticated melodies. The experts appreciate Bach even more than Bach loving amateurs do, but Mozart’s appeal is universal.

| PURE Nightnoise | |
|
|
Founded in 1983 by Irish traditional musician Micheal O'Domhnaill and American violinist Billy Oskay, Nightnoise maintained its pure, nearly hypnotic style of Celtic based music throughout a twenty year span. Blending performances that slip effortlessly from melodic tapestries to crisp and exciting up-tempo, often “off-beat” offerings that catch the ear and command attention, Nightnoise offers up an unequaled listening experience featuring passionate fiddle, exuberant, soulful flute with solid, traditional-based guitar and keyboard underpinnings and, at times, stunning vocal seasonings.
Windham Hill has done an excellent job of the impossible task of reducing over two decades of amazing melodies onto one sixteen song album. PURE Nightnoise is an accurate representation of the unique “feel” of the group’s musical career, transporting listeners to imagined as well as remembered places and times, danced along by the brilliant instrumental offerings of this amazing collaboration of musicians. The compilation, available at www.EarthsongOnline.com contains several selections from earlier Nightnoise albums that are no longer in print.
