Title: Favorite song? Post by: Eric90 on May 01, 2014, 08:31PM I love the sound a violin makes, it's an amazing instrument you can hear the sadness or the joy of a song. Mairead can bring this out like no other and you can tell she feels the power of the music if you watch her perform you can actually see the song it's amazing. What are your favorite songs Mairead plays. I mean solo and the group songs. me personally I love them all but I've been listening to "The Coast Of Galacia" a lot lately there's this part at 1:10 through 1:20 that I absolutely love. I like "Shenendoah" and that little intro bit before "Nil Se'n La" they do in the Emerald concert. and it's hard to hear but the fiddling she does in "Beyond The Sea" is beautiful too

Title: Re: Favorite song? Post by: The Impatient New Yorker on May 02, 2014, 04:59AM I love all her pieces, but granuailes dance is my personal favorite, I'm so glad that it has been in the show for so many years and i hope it remains so
Title: Re: Favorite song? Post by: Hubert on May 02, 2014, 09:09AM Coast of Galicia is my favorite fast song and The Lost Rose is my favorite slow one.
Title: Re: Favorite song? Post by: ShiningBright on May 02, 2014, 09:12AM The Coast Of Galicia and The Pacific Slope. Definitely.
Title: Re: Favorite song? Post by: CWazyTom on May 30, 2016, 11:34PM Favourite slow / fast combo:
Shenandoah / The Pacific Slope (just edges out the Shenandoah / Contradiction combo for me). So hard! There's so many good ones! Honourable mentions to The Coast of Galiçia and Granuaile's Dance. Favourite slow song: I'll be a little different... There Is No Light (from Raining Up). ...such a pretty tune! Most spectacular finale: Granuaile's Dance Can't beat the ending of this song. Feverish tempo, amazing tune, Mairead jumping and spinning excitedly all over the stage, audience going CWazy... :D :D :D :D :D Title: Re: Favorite song? Post by: Celtic Chan on June 01, 2016, 12:28PM My top 3 favorites:
1.) Skyrim 2.) Granuaile's Dance 3.) The Foxhunter Title: Re: Favorite song? Post by: The Leprechaun on September 03, 2016, 06:14PM Honestly, this is a bit of a problem for me as I could never pick a favorite song that Mairead Nesbitt has done. This is odd since I can figure out a favorite for a lot of the other members. I do know that I don't really like The Last Rose Fantasia as much as it just seems like she's doing scales and it doesn't sound as good to me as other songs.

I enjoyed it but I do love some of her other songs even more (Coast of Galiçia, Granuaile's Dance, any of the Shenandoah combos, There Is No Light / There Is No Night, Hills of Ireland ... she's amazing :D |
