Seamus Egan, one of the founding members of the Irish/American group Solas, wrote the music for this soundtrack. Sarah McLachlan took one of his songs and put words to it to form the beautifully haunting hit theme, "I Will Remember You." The cd is a delightful mixture of original songs and traditional tunes arranged by Egan and played by himself along with his Solas colleagues and other notable musicians. I never saw the movie, but I love the soundtrack!
I find that this is a wonderful collection of Irish music that includes modern takes on traditional music, and traditional jiggs. The musicians are all very talented and execute the music beautifully.
Listening to this CD gives me flashbacks of the movie--- which is fabulous! Even if you have not seen the movie, it's wonderful Irish music that is soothing to have on in the background while you're doing whatever...
