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.

I have worked at the MN Renaissance Festival for 16 years and this music makes me think of the early morning there the different musicians playing their music. I like it. Thanks for the chance to win this
I am a subscriber & very interested in this contest.
Whenever I hear music of Ireland or Scotland, I am entranced by it. There is something that draws me to it
and I wonder if it’s because my background is Celtic. Being adopted with zero information, there’s no way I’ll
ever know. Scotland was a wonderful place to me when I
was there & I would like to go to Ireland some day. In
the meantime, perhaps I could win this cd & take myself
there in my mind.
Happy Monday!
I enjoy all kinds of music so let’s give it a try.
This is wonderful music, I could listen to it for hours.
I subscribe
I discovered Irish music through Secret Garden and then Celtic Woman. They are among my favorites and are way up on my Most Played playlist on my Ipod! Loved the video and I’m sure I’d love Lumina. It’s always great to discover wonderful music!

I have yet to travel to Ireland, but when I do, I want to have this kind of music almost memorized. Love the sound…so much, I’m thinking of taking some lessons!
