After searching for the musical roots of her native
The term "Angaelic" invented by Alquimia aims to combine the Gaelic
and Anglo-Saxon traditions with the symbolism of the Christian choir of angels.
Singing in various languages including Gaelic, Latin, English and Catalan, she
also uses her voice to create multilayered choirs of complex textures,
harmonies and counterpoints.
On "Angaelic Voices" Alquimia combines songs such as
"Angaelica" and "Maghera" in a traditional folk-rooted
secular style, with others in Latin/ Gaelic reminiscent of church music, such
as "Laudé Mysterium", "Santé Morla", or "Stella
Mundis".
Celtic Music:
Ancient Celtic and Gaelic musical traditions were influenced rather than being
overwhelmed by the coming of the Latin language under the Roman invasion, and
later of Christianity. In the same way that Roman Catholicism incorporated
rather than competing with Pagan traditions with Christmas celebrated near
the Winter Solstice, and the decorated trees symbolising fertility becoming the
Christmas tree musicians and poets of Northern Europe often added Latin to
their native Gaelic, Catalan or Breton, creating music which incorporated both
languages.
