Is there a music style called sugar?

Now Irish music and Scottish music are collectively called "Celtic music".

In Europe, the extension of "Celtic music" is more widely defined as the music of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, parts of England and Brittany Galicia, which accepted Irish immigrants. Although the traditional music in the south of England is different from that in Ireland, their musical temperament is similar to that in the island country, while Scotland in the north of England is closer to Ireland in culture and language, so the musical tradition naturally comes from the same family.

Traditional Scottish music is not only bagpipes and violins, but also includes various forms and styles of musical instruments. This diversified style is developed from the diverse geographical, historical and social characteristics of Scotland.

Gaelic tradition

Gaelic music is probably the oldest Scottish traditional music. Although not many people speak Gaelic, Gaelic music is developing continuously. It is popular not only in Scotland, but also in Britain. Gaelic Poetry Music Festival is held every autumn, which is a major event in the Scottish cultural calendar, where people can hear the original music that lingered around the bonfire thousands of years ago. Now its scale is constantly expanding. Traditional Gaelic music, labor songs and folk songs show the optimism and romantic feelings of a new nation in difficulties. They know how to use music to cure the pain caused by hard life.

Traditional folk custom

Lower Scotland has an independent but equally rich musical tradition, which is mainly manifested in vibrant folk songs. Like their immortal predecessors, today's songwriters still pay attention to the joys and sorrows of life, major events affecting national life and eternal themes such as love and freedom.

Nowadays, folk music bands have various styles, and they have got rid of the rough and crazy image of holding a guitar in their hands in the 1960s. They did not completely abandon their own traditions, but absorbed other musical instruments and Celtic music styles-folk music "super groups" such as Capulet and Running Derrick combined folk music with rock music, which exposed more and younger Scottish listeners to Gaelic music.

Musical instrument music

Musical instruments mainly include bagpipes, violins and accordions. These instruments mainly accompany various traditional dances. Of course, they can also be used as independent instruments, such as large bagpipes, violin or accordion solos, and symphony orchestras containing various instruments.

Folk music clubs and festivals

Every major town has its own folk music club to inherit traditional music. The role of more than a dozen music festivals throughout Scotland is roughly the same. Celtic Music Festival is one of the main stages to display excellent traditional music. It is held in 65438+ 10 every year, and the cheerful atmosphere just dilutes the sadness in the middle of winter. Here, local Scottish musicians and Celtic descendants scattered around the world will play folk music, country music, traditional Gaelic music, violin, bagpipe music and contemporary pop music.
