Hehe apparently that orchestra told people before they joined that they had to either 1) have no knowledge of musical instruments or 2) play an instrument entirely different to what they are used to. Considering that, it's not bad..... but still hilarious

@Aes Sídhe speaking of emotion in music, whenever I hear this artist play she always strikes a chord with me:

@freakie1one; thanks for that, I agree that its emotionally charged instrumental music, and I'd say the first track has a Gaelic segment, which I'd hazard is where we put most of the emotion in our music, there and the words of songs, but we don't necessarily require or put it into the voice, in English at least, the Gaelic singers definitely have emotion. I definitely like her stuff too. Trying to think of something similar in return, but instead check this, Liam Ó' Maonlaí of Hothouse Flowers fame is a "Sean Nós" singer, thats the ancient form of solo singing indigenous to here that would have been part of the Bards art as it includes memory retention artifacts, doesn't work in English though some singers try to transfer something.

@Princess_Ciri; Thanks for the explanation, I was worried you'd been in a car crash there for a second, was going to phone an ambulance

@Валькирия; brain wasn't fully engaged this morning, I often think "melancholy" rather than "sadness" when I hear Russian singing, a thoughtful, worldly, yet hearty type of sadness, an extremely important and affecting emotion to share, and you guys do it with real gravitas. Better Out than In I always say

But yeah, primarily we convey emotion through the tune, like the Airs played for the honoured dead:
