Celtic Passages
Chattering Magpies
Greta Gillmeister and Lorinda Jones
After five years of playing coffee houses, festivals, camps, house concerts, and other venues, Chattering Magpies are answering the requests of their audiences in the release of their CELTIC PASSAGES, a combination CD/DVD audio and video recording.
When Chattering Magpies decided it was time to start consideration for their first duo recording, fate connected them with videographer Dan Boone, who found the airy, celestial sounds of the Irish flute and harp, and the rhythmic combination of the whistle and mountain dulcimer a perfect match for his beautiful video collection of nature scenes, from waterfalls to icicles, shot from various locations across the state of Kentucky. This collaboration culminated in "CELTIC PASSAGES," a unique Celtic audio CD recording and relaxation DVD that treats the viewer to a sensory journey of all seasons. With backgrounds in music therapy, Lorinda and Greta are taking this product not only to Celtic music fans, but also to individuals and hospitals, and other places of healing in their ongoing efforts to use music as a catalyst for health and wellness. In addition, based on their own familial experience, they are donating a portion of each sale to colon and ovarian cancer awareness and prevention funding.
Musically, CELTIS PASSAGES is a soulful reflection of the duo's interpretation of the ancient music of the Celts, and visually, a treat for nature lovers.
"During a number of selections…seemed to have a hypnotic effect on those in the room."
