Pulling at the heartstrings of my Irish roots, Eoin Duignan’s original compositions reach deep into the traditional sounds of Ireland. Lumina, inspired by six stained glass windows found in Diseart Chapel, is expressed through the sound of a beautiful six-part musical suite. Listeners will be transported to the Emerald Isle by the sounds of traditional low whistles, keyboards, guitars, harps and fiddles.
I find myself completely taken by this music. Its soulful sound makes me yearn for a part of my heritage I long to understand more completely. Although I grew up hearing the stories of my ancestors, I know little of their Irish history before landing in the New World. The ancient sounds of Lumina give me a little glimpse of what might have been the musical backdrop of my forefathers and foremothers.
If you enjoy getting to the heart of a culture through music, Duignan can get you to Ireland on the back of a low whistle. Grab your hat and hit play; you’re about to get a little taste of the kind of music you’ll enjoy if you win or purchase Lumina by Eoin Duignan! Multiple chances to win listed below the video clip.

Pingback: Traditional Irish Music CD – Lumina by Eoin Duignan | Mom Giveaways
I went to Ireland once years ago and really miss it! What an experience. Looking at this video and listening to the music makes me want to go back. I’d love to win and get back the memories of such a special trip.
I got chills as I watched the video – it reminded me of my childhood and especially my grandparents. I’d love to have this CD!

I would love to have this because the music is exactly what I need to listen to when doing homework around the house.
My husband would love it.
My father-in-law is half Irish and has a lot of family in Ireland. They go and visit when they can but I know he misses it and them. He would love this music and I would love to give it to him for his birthday.

I’d like to win this one for great great great great (or there bouts) granddaddy.

My husband likes this kind of music
I’d like to win b/c my grandmother grew up in Ireland!
so haunting. My brother plays the Great Highland bagpipes. He played in our wedding. I love the sound of them, but I love this smaller instrument also. Is it a low whistle? It’s definitely some small form of bagpipe. It’s quieter, and mournful. I’ve never heard a bagpipe paired with a harp. If I don’t win this, I’m hoping they’re on iTunes!
Such beautiful celtic music-reaches my Irish soul.
subscriber.
Although my family history doesn’t even come geographically close to Ireland, I’ve always loved that music that comes from that part of the world. To me, it’s exotic and interesting
. The song on the video was both beautiful and relaxing, something I appreciate in good music!

This is music I would love to paint along with…very enjoyable, makes me get inspired!
I love Irish and folk type music. This music makes me think of my heritage. Thanks.
I love this music, it’s so pretty. I’m part Irish and huge fan of going and seeing Celtic Thunder and Celtic Woman when they are in town. I’m also a religious fan of the Celtic Podcast on itunes.
