Celtic Woman, the PBS sensation, returns for 2007 in A New Journey: Live
at Slane Castle, Ireland. Most of the elements return as well: vocalists
Chloe, Meav, Lisa, and Orla; fiery fiddler Mairead; music director David
Downes; chorus and orchestra; and the New Age-y Celtic and traditional
music. New for this show is New Zealand vocalist Hayley Westenra, a
picturesque outdoor location, and an almost entirely new song list.
Chloe sings "The Prayer" (made famous by Josh Groban) and "Panis
Angelicus"; Lisa covers "Caledonia," "The Blessing," and "The Voice";
Orla sings "Newgrange" and accompanies herself on harp for
"Carrickfergus"; Meav sings "Dulaman"; Mairead plays "Granuaile's Dance"
and "Shenandoah: The Pacific Slope"; and Hayley sings "Scarborough Fair"
by herself and duets with Mairead (Handel's "Lascia Ch'io Pianga") and
Meav ("The Last Rose of Summer"). Then of course the group performs
together ("The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," "Over the Rainbow,"
"Beyond the Sea," "At the Ceili," "Sing Out!", "Spanish Lady," "Mo Ghile
Mear"). Encore performances from the original show are Enya's "Orinoco
Flow," "Danny Boy," "Somewhere," and "You Raise Me Up." Hayley proves to
be an excellent fit among the beautiful voices, and Lisa seems to emerge
as the talent most deserving of attention, but overall the show lacks
some of the fresh sparkle of the original. The song list isn't quite as
strong, and some of the "primp and pose" choreography is just silly. But
Celtic Woman is never less than charming, and at its best can be quite
stirring. --David Horiuchi
