Celtic Wedding (Hol) [CD]

"Celtic Wedding" is a 1987 album by The Chieftains, the renowned Irish traditional music group. This album stands out because it focuses on traditional Breton music rather than their usual Irish folk, showcasing the musical heritage of Brittany, France. The album is inspired by traditional Breton wedding ceremonies and reflects the customs and spirit of a Celtic wedding with a mix of celebratory and solemn pieces. It features lively dance tunes, evocative melodies, and unique Breton instrumentation. Traditional Instruments used include the bombarde (a Breton woodwind), binioù (Breton bagpipes), and, of course, the band's signature Irish pipes, fiddles, and whistles.
