Traditionally Celtic music had a solo form, but group performances have become dominant in the past 60 years. Some is earlier in origin, and it is likely that some very old melodies and lyrics survive, adapted to modern forms. Much of the repertory is known to have been current in the 18th and 19th centuries. This music has evolved over a long period of time. It is also used for some newer music based on the tradition from these countries. The term is actually a rather loose one it covers the traditional music of the Celtic countries: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany (in France), Galicia (in Spain) and areas which have come under their influence, such as the USA and the maritime provinces of Canada. What is “Celtic music”? Obviously, the term doesn't describe the music of the ancient Celts, which hasn't survived in any recognizable form to modern times.
