Man歌曲《茵夢(mèng)湖島》是愛爾蘭詞曲作者、詩人迪克·法雷利的作品，被美國導(dǎo)演約翰·福特用作其影片《蓬門今始為君開》（TheQuietMan）的主題曲。愛爾蘭詩人葉芝的同名詩作LakeIsleofInnisfree與這首歌描繪的是同一地方，但本曲中的茵夢(mèng)湖島指代了整個(gè)愛爾蘭。凱爾特女人樂隊(duì)（CelticWoman）是流行樂史上實(shí)力最強(qiáng)大的組合之一。樂隊(duì)由身兼音樂總監(jiān)、指揮、作曲及編曲者四項(xiàng)身份的大衛(wèi)·唐恩領(lǐng)軍，成員包括：四位愛爾蘭歌手克蘿伊、莉莎、梅芙、歐拉，一位小提琴手瑪莉，以及2006年加入的新西蘭籍巨星海莉·薇思特拉（HayleyWestenra）。她們?nèi)诤狭松既R曼、美聲男伶、恩雅、居爾特男高音、易希等歌手和組合的特色，結(jié)合了新世紀(jì)、古典、傳統(tǒng)凱爾特樂風(fēng)與愛爾蘭一派等的音樂戲劇式演出風(fēng)格。樂隊(duì)至今共推出了11張專輯，都以CelticWoman為名。IsleofInnisfreeI'vemetsomefolks
