The traditional sounds of Irish instruments instill a feeling of joy and longing.

Celtic Air features an Irish metal harp called a Clairseach (pronounced Klar-schach). The Clairseach was known in Ireland and Scotland during the 12th century as the instrument listened to by royalty, and remained the dominant harp until the 19th century. However, the instrument slowly began to lose its popularity among royalty and was used by travelling musicians. The instrument fell into oblivion for nearly 200 years until its recent renaissance into the music world. The Clairseach differs from the classical harp because it is strung with bronze chords that create a more brilliant sound.

Another instrument that is as challenging and difficult to play is the Uilleann Pipes, or Irish bagpipes. These bagpipes are not blown but rather receive air through a pair of bellows under the right elbow.

The sounds of these traditional instruments, along with the lute, guitar, violin, oboe, English horn, and percussion, make this recording a musical delight.
