ReviewsTaken individually or as a collection, the selections featured on this disc offer a happy serving of Irish magic... In a disc devoted to traditional Irish songs, David Mooney's arrangements offer straightforward, relatively simple readings of this treasured traditional music. Free from artifice, these settings invite the type of unaffected, natural presentation heard here by these two Irish choirs. There are few surprises here and, in fact, herein lies one of the pleasures of this disc: it displays a rather uncommon faith in melody, expression, and simple pleasures. No fuss, no pyrotechnics, just good heartwarming song.
