'''Celtic music''' is a broad grouping of [[music genre]]s that evolved out of the [[folk music]] traditions of the [[Celts (modern)|Celtic people]] of [[Northwestern Europe]] (the modern [[Celtic nations]]).<ref name=melhuish>{{cite book|last=Melhuish|first=Martin|title=Celtic Tides: Traditional Music in a New Age|year=1998|publisher=Quarry Press Inc.|location=Ontario, Canada|isbn=1-55082-205-5|pages=8, 28}}</ref><ref name=alberro>{{cite journal|first=Manuel|last=Alberro|url=http://www4.uwm.edu/celtic/ekeltoi/volumes/vol6/6_20/alberro_6_20.html|title=Celtic Legacy in Galicia|journal=E-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies|volume=6|pages=1005–1035|year=2005|access-date=16 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130601144123/http://www4.uwm.edu/celtic/ekeltoi/volumes/vol6/6_20/alberro_6_20.html|archive-date=1 June 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> It refers to both orally-transmitted traditional music and recorded music and the styles vary considerably to include everything from traditional music to [[celtic fusion|a wide range of hybrids]].

Secondly, it refers to whatever qualities may be unique to the music of the [[Celtic nations]]. Many notable Celtic musicians such as [[Alan Stivell]] and [[Paddy Moloney]]<ref name="melhuishChieftains">{{cite book|last=Melhuish|first=Martin|title=Celtic Tides: Traditional Music in a New Age|year=1998|publisher=Quarry Press Inc.|location=Ontario, Canada|isbn=1-55082-205-5|pages=73–79 especially 77 and 79}}</ref> claim that the different Celtic music genres have a lot in common.<ref name="melhuish" /><ref name="alberro" /><ref name="aubrey">{{cite book|last=Aubrey|first=Graham|title=The Ingenious Cornish – Inventions, Enterprises and Exploits: The Ethnicity Factor in Cornish Music Both at Home and Abroad|year=2011|publisher=Cornish Association of South Australia Est. 1890|location=Wallaroo Town Hall during Kernewek Lowender 2011 Biennial Seminar|pages=16}}</ref>

These styles are known because of the importance of Irish and Scottish people in the English speaking world, especially in the United States, where they had a profound impact on [[Music of the United States|American music]], particularly [[Bluegrass music|bluegrass]] and [[country music]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chincoteagueculturalalliance.org/articles/article/5493371/95457.htm |title=From Heather to High Lonesome |last=Troxler |first=Bill |publisher=Chincoteague Cultural Alliance |work=Bluegrass and Celtic Music |date=14 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080828183250/http://www.chincoteagueculturalalliance.org/articles/article/5493371/95457.htm |archive-date=28 August 2008}}</ref> The [[music of Wales]], [[music of Cornwall|Cornwall]], the [[music of the Isle of Man|Isle of Man]], [[music of Brittany|Brittany]], [[Galician traditional music]] (Spain) and [[music of Portugal]] are also considered Celtic music, the tradition being particularly strong in [[Brittany]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ceolas.org/ref/what.is.celtic.html|title=What is celtic music?|website=ceolas.org|access-date=2017-09-18}}</ref> where Celtic festivals large and small take place throughout the year,<ref>Defrance Yves, "New Celtic Music in Brittany", in Continuum Encyclopedia of popular music of the world, London-New York, International Association of Popular Music, Continuum Books, Part.3 Genres, vol.10, 2013, 3 p.</ref> and in Wales, where the ancient [[eisteddfod]] tradition has been revived and flourishes. Additionally, the musics of ethnically Celtic peoples abroad are vibrant, especially [[Celtic music in Canada|in Canada]] and the [[Celtic music in the United States|United States]]. In Canada the provinces of Atlantic Canada are known for being a home of Celtic music, most notably on the islands of Newfoundland, Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island. The traditional music of Atlantic Canada is heavily influenced by the Irish, Scottish and Acadian ethnic makeup of much of the region's communities.<ref name=melhuishcb>{{cite book|last=Melhuish|first=Martin|title=Celtic Tides: Traditional Music in a New Age|year=1998|publisher=Quarry Press Inc.|location=Ontario, Canada|isbn=1-55082-205-5|pages=121–152}}</ref> In some parts of Atlantic Canada, such as [[Newfoundland (island)|Newfoundland]], Celtic music is as or more popular than in the old country.  Further, some older forms of Celtic music that are rare in Scotland and Ireland today, such as the practice of accompanying a fiddle with a piano, or the Gaelic spinning songs of Cape Breton remain common in the Maritimes.  Much of the music of this region is Celtic in nature, but originates in the local area and celebrates the sea, seafaring, fishing and other primary industries.

Instruments associated with Celtic Music include the [[Celtic harp]], [[uilleann pipes]] or [[Great Highland bagpipe]], [[fiddle]], [[tin whistle]], [[flute]], [[bodhrán]], [[Bones (instrument)|bones]], [[concertina]], [[accordion]] and a recent addition, the [[Irish bouzouki]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Classic Celtic Instruments |url=https://celticlifeintl.com/classic-celtic-instruments/ |publisher=Celtic Life International |access-date=29 July 2023}}</ref>

In ''Celtic Music: A Complete Guide'', June Skinner Sawyers acknowledges six [[Celtic nations|Celtic nationalities]] divided into two groups according to their linguistic heritage.<ref>{{cite book|author=Sawyers, June Skinner|title=Celtic Music: A Complete Guide|year=2000|publisher=[[Da Capo Press]]|location=New York|isbn=0-306-81007-7|edition=1st Da Capo Press|page=4|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ho9DONbTpbwC&pg=PA4|access-date=25 March 2016}}</ref> The [[Celtic languages#Classification|Q-Celtic]] nationalities are the Irish, Scottish and [[Manx people]]s, while the [[P-Celtic]] groups are the [[Cornish people|Cornish]], [[Breton people|Bretons]] and [[Welsh people]]s. Musician [[Alan Stivell]] uses a similar dichotomy, between the [[Goidelic languages|Gaelic]] (Irish/Scottish/Manx) and the [[Brythonic languages|Brythonic]] (Breton/Welsh/Cornish) branches, which differentiate "mostly by the extended range (sometimes more than two octaves) of Irish and Scottish melodies and the closed range of Breton and Welsh melodies (often reduced to a half-octave), and by the frequent use of the pure [[pentatonic scale]] in Gaelic music."<ref>translation by Steve Winick</ref>

There is also tremendous variation between ''Celtic'' regions. Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany have living traditions of language and music, and there has been a recent major revival of interest in Celtic heritage in the Isle of Man. [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]] has a Celtic language revival movement to revive the Q-Celtic ''[[Gallaecian language|Gallaic language]]'' used into Roman times,<ref>{{cite web|title=Celtic Music – Celtic Music Instruments|date=13 July 2016|url=https://www.celticmusicinstruments.com/celtic-music/|access-date=10 August 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://gallaic.com|title=Gallaic Revival|access-date=11 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180107061541/http://gallaic.com/|archive-date=7 January 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://gallaicrevivalmovement.page.tl/|title=Gallaic Revival Movement|access-date=11 May 2013}}</ref><ref>"Gallaic Revival Movement".{{cite web|url=http://gallaicrevivalmovement.spruz.com/ |title=Gallaic Revival Movement Home Page |access-date=2013-05-11 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121002063828/http://gallaicrevivalmovement.spruz.com/ |archive-date=2 October 2012 }}</ref> which is not an [[attested language]],<ref name="CDCG">Consello da cultura Galega, FROM THE ORIGINS TO THE RENAISSANCE (6TH CENTURY TO 1475) [http://consellodacultura.gal/cdsg/loia/historia.php?idioma=2&id=69&fbclid=IwAR1VoLdircKGYzKzUmCluPfSOfDyfCMv8t4CBDoBd6jPKbM7BMbQ9UZcPAE]"</ref> unlike [[Celtiberian language|Celtiberian]].

== Celtic fusion ==
{{Main|Celtic fusion}}

The oldest musical tradition which fits under the label of Celtic fusion originated in the rural American south in the early colonial period and incorporated English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, German, and African influences. Variously referred to as roots music, American folk music, or [[old-time music]], this tradition has exerted a strong influence on all forms of American music, including country, blues, and rock and roll.<ref>Irish Folk, Trad and Blues: A Secret History" by Colin Harper (2005) covers Horslips, The Pogues, Planxty and others.</ref> In addition to its lasting effects on other genres, it marked the first modern large-scale mixing of musical traditions from multiple ethnic and religious communities within the [[Celtic diaspora (disambiguation)|Celtic diaspora]].

In the 1960s several bands put forward modern adaptations of Celtic music pulling influences from several of the Celtic nations at once to create a modern [[pan-celtic]] sound. A few of those include [[bagad]]où (Breton pipe bands), [[Fairport Convention]], [[Pentangle (band)|Pentangle]], [[Steeleye Span]] and [[Horslips]].

In the 1970s [[Clannad]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/clannad-mn0000781732|title = Clannad &#124; Biography, Albums, Streaming Links| publisher=[[AllMusic]] }}</ref> made their mark initially in the [[Folk music|folk]] and traditional scene, and then subsequently went on to bridge the gap between traditional Celtic and pop music in the 1980s and 1990s, incorporating elements from [[New-age music|new-age]], [[smooth jazz]], and [[folk rock]]. Traces of Clannad's legacy can be heard in the music of many artists, including [[Altan (band)|Altan]], [[Anúna]], [[Capercaillie (band)|Capercaillie]], [[the Corrs]], [[Dexys Midnight Runners]], [[Enya]], [[Loreena McKennitt]], [[Riverdance]], [[Donna Taggart]], and [[U2]]. The solo music of Clannad's lead singer, [[Moya Brennan]] (often referred to as the First Lady of Celtic Music) has further enhanced this influence.

Later, beginning in 1982 with [[the Pogues]]' invention of Celtic folk-punk and [[Stockton's Wing]] blend of Irish traditional and Pop, Rock and Reggae, there has been a movement to incorporate [[Celt]]ic influences into other genres of music. Bands like [[Flogging Molly]], [[Black 47 (band)|Black 47]], [[Dropkick Murphys]], the Young Dubliners, [[the Tossers]] introduced a hybrid of [[Celtic rock]], [[Punk rock|punk]], [[reggae]], [[Hardcore punk|hardcore]] and other elements in the 1990s that has become popular with Irish-American youth.

Today there are Celtic-influenced subgenres of virtually every type of popular music including [[electronica]], [[Celtic rock|rock]], [[Celtic metal|metal]], [[Celtic punk|punk]], [[Hip hop music|hip hop]], [[reggae]], [[New-age music|new-age]], [[Latin music (genre)|Latin]], [[Andean music|Andean]] and [[Pop music|pop]]. Collectively these modern interpretations of Celtic music are sometimes referred to as [[Celtic fusion]].

== Other modern adaptations ==
Outside of America, the first deliberate attempts to create a "Pan-Celtic music" were made by the Breton [[François Jaffrennou|Taldir Jaffrennou]], having translated songs from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales into Breton between the two world wars. One of his major works was to bring "[[Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau]]" (the Welsh [[national anthem]]) back in Brittany and create lyrics in Breton. Eventually this song became "''Bro goz va zadoù''" ("Old land of my fathers") and is the most widely accepted Breton anthem. In the 70s, the Breton [[Alan Cochevelou]] (future [[Alan Stivell]]) began playing a mixed repertoire from the main Celtic countries on the Celtic harp his father created.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> <br />
Probably the most successful all-inclusive Celtic music composition in recent years is [[Shaun Davey]]s composition [[The Pilgrim (1983 album)|''The Pilgrim'']]. This suite depicts the journey of St. Colum Cille through the Celtic nations of Ireland, Scotland, the [[Isle of Man]], Wales, [[Cornwall]], [[Brittany]] and [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]]. The suite which includes a Scottish pipe band, Irish and Welsh harpists, [[Galician gaita]]s, Irish [[uilleann pipes]], the [[Bombard (music)|bombarde]]s of [[Brittany]], two vocal soloists and a narrator is set against a background of a classical orchestra and a large choir.

Modern music may also be termed "Celtic" because it is written and recorded in a Celtic language, regardless of musical style. Many of the Celtic languages have experienced resurgences in modern years, spurred on partly by the action of artists and musicians who have embraced them as hallmarks of identity and distinctness. In 1971, the Irish band ''[[Skara Brae (band)|Skara Brae]]'' recorded its only [[LP album|LP]] (simply called ''Skara Brae''), all songs in Irish. In 1978 [[Runrig]] recorded an album in [[Scottish Gaelic]]. In 1992 [[Capercaillie (band)|Capercaillie]] recorded "A Prince Among Islands", the first Scottish Gaelic language record to reach the UK top 40. In 1996, a song in Breton represented France in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1996|41st Eurovision Song Contest]], the first time in history that France had a song without a word in French. Since about 2005, [[Oi Polloi]] (from Scotland) have recorded in Scottish Gaelic. [[Mill a h-Uile Rud]] (a [[Scottish Gaelic punk]] band from Seattle) recorded in the language in 2004.

Several contemporary bands have Welsh language songs, such as [[Ceredwen]], which fuses traditional instruments with [[trip hop]] beats, the [[Super Furry Animals]], [[Fernhill (band)|Fernhill]], and so on (see the [[Music of Wales]] article for more Welsh and Welsh-language bands). The same phenomenon occurs in Brittany, where many singers record songs in Breton, traditional or modern (hip hop, [[Rap music|rap]], and so on.).
