some help to understand what's about Celtic Music

I have followed a bit the work of Alan Stivell who is one time quoted by somebody in the discussion. If you go, for exemple, to his book "Telenn, la harpe bretonne" or to his presentations on his albums, you will have an idea more clear of the question. Why? How many people have really worked several decades studying, comparing the music of the 6 Celtic nations (that's to say " where a Celtic language is still spoken")? I know that Alan Stivell has done, and is still doing; who else?

a definition of Celtic Music

There are two meanings: the first: is the same (as acceptable) as if you speak of french , european, etc. musics, a category based on any recognized group of people, without any musicologistic idea; the second: is musical (the man who made popular the idea is Alan Stivell).The idea is : there is a link between all the productions of a people (language, building, music,etc.); as there are special obvious links between the Celtic Nations (language, buidings, etc), there must be subtle links between their musics; they are not obvious at the first listen; the use of different fashions(reels, jigs, etc) is not of first importance in the identity of a music; what is important is the way the people transform these fashions, as well as how a music manage the use of defective or not defective scales, does it give importance to "tuilages", how works irish or breton "swing" for exemple;

gaelic music

ussually gaelic music is incorperated with irish folk dancing and stories

Galician is not a dialect from Portuguese

The article says that, and it should be corrected. They all descent from Galician-Portuguese, you can find that in Wikipedia.

Description and definition

While I feel the first, penultimate and final paragraphs of this section are useful and apposite to this article, the middle section seems very subjective and under sourced. I also think that the bullet point list of vague aspects of Celtic music (introduced as "Melodic practices" but not conforming to this description) is poor. Indeed the one source for this seems to be a 2011 lecture, specifically on Cornish or Australian Cornish inventiveness.

If anyone has any objections, or would like to improve the section, let me know. As a rule I don't like wholesale deletion of others hard work but I really think the article would be better without these. Happy to discuss. Cymrogogoch (talk) 15:52, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
