This fast became one of my favorite songs of all time... They say that when words hold a spiritual truth that you'll feel chills upon hearing it, and I believe the same is true for music. Something awakens in my blood when I listen to this. I immediately feel a powerful updraft of positivity that is akin to running up to the edge of a grassy seaside cliff, stopping to gaze to the horizon with hope and determination. I can feel the wind in my hair, the sun on my face, and the passion, power, and breath of life itself. Thank you for every masterpiece you create, and this one is epic as hell. ❤The world is more beautiful and alive because of your music.
@@IanFontova You are a great musician, I am amazed by your ability to make song arrangements by playing musical instruments one by one. that's your greatness.😊
I was cleaning my room listening to this and I can say I have never made my bed with such passion and effort 😂 This is beautiful and I’ve been listening to this and only this for like a week now
Sometimes people tell me that my music helped them go through some difficult moments, and that's really beautiful. But my music turning the activity of cleaning the room and making the bed into a passionate epic quest... that's the true moment when you can say your career as a musician is completed 😂😂 Thanks 💙
añadido a mis favoritos,,,,, impresionantes tus temas ….. por cierto, la musica que suena al final del vídeo no la localizo ¿cómo se llama? ¿está en spotify?. Gracias y felicidades
Gracias! No está subida en ningún lado porque la hice específicamente para la pantalla final de mis videos, y es muy cortita. Pero de vez en cuando la gente me la pide, así que seguramente haré una version larga en el futuro :)
stopping by once again to applaud your work again. it made me worth every moment that I waited to hear the beautiful compositions of your new album. congratulations, and only achievements in your career.
bravo pour votre vidéo. Mon épouse l'a publiée, ce matin sur Faceboo, dans le groupe "Fan de Musique Celtique de bretagne, d'Irlande, d'Ecosse et d'ailleurs".☘☘☘
Je viens d'acheter l'album c'est une tuerie comme d'habitude. Quel magnifique travail. Merci pour cette porte vers le rêve et l'évasion. I just bought the album, it is awesome as usual. What a wonderful job. Thanck you so much for this open door to dreamlands.
Es molt jevi com amb una base de percussió i una linia de bouzuki o un duo de flautes has composat un tros central així de èpic, i ja el final ni t'explico... gallina de piel. kudos tio!
It's amazing how you play so fast but don't mess up with your breathing. Everything sounds great with how you have arranged this tune, timeless but contemporary.
if this is an entirely new thing of yours from a scratch, not a cover, medley or the like, then pls take my true respect and bows to you sir. This one is a piece of master.
GREAT!!! I want to revive several songs from Antagon, my symphonic metal band that I had in Cuba, sadly I had to leave the country, but I have intentions to continue producing from here, Spain... I would love to do some collaboration with you!!! Would be GREAT! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks :) I can't commit to it much as I'm quite busy with my own projects 😅 but contact me at ianfontova@gmail.com or facebook if you have any idea and mind and we can see if it's doable!
I've been excited to listen to this one since the preview. I can't express how well this fits some of my books. On one hand, this reminds me of a specific kingdom, that used to be roving warrior clans, and on the other hand, it reminds me of some of my dragon riders, rider racing through the forest, dragon above, readying the leap from a cliff to land in the saddle, readying to fly. And those vocals at the end are beautiful! This is exactly the song I needed today! Thank you for such continual great music!
@@IanFontova It's music like yours and some of the other Celtic artists like Tartalo (to name one) that help me write! I'd frankly be lost without it, so thank you for sharing your music with us! ^_^
Amazing! Sensacional irmão parabéns pelo seu trabalho Me inspirou! (Sensational brother congratulations on your work Inspired me!) Graças irmão! (Thanks Bro!)📿🙏
Au top cette musique. Abonné depuis un moment maintenant, j'adore l'ensemble de vos morceaux, ils tournent en boucle dans mon casque. Exactement mon style celtique folk et j'attends avec impatience les morceaux suivants. Merci de faire partager ça avec nous
Amazing! I might have a new favourite song 😊. It just makes me start to dance (then fall over as I can't dance and stumble over my feet) and then do it again because this song makes me feel EPIC doing so 😆
De momento no, lo siento 😅 Puede que en un futuro cuando tenga el volumen 1 y 2 acabados, los ponga juntos en disco y ahi sí haga copias físicas. Pero no hago envíos, seria entrega en mano si al final lo hago
wowww i realllyyyyyy like this, but can anyone tell me what song at the ending song ya arhhh, such a great song, i reallllly like that rythem, is my type
@@angelaj-son6424 Yes I'd love to see it! You can send it to ianfontova@gmail.com. If it's too large for an email you can use wetransfer or some other file transfer online service :)
If you're just going to re-upload the video the answer would be no. However, if you want to use my music for some project of yours, let me know! I have some conditions but I'm usually ok with people using my music for free if the project doesn't generate revenue.
I love your music but I cant help but wonder why you went with the label "Celtic" is that because that just the most common search term or is there a particular style you most closely try to emulate because the word "Celtic" is such a loaded term as Tolkien once said “Celtic 'is a magic bag, into which anything may be put, and out of which almost anything may come . . . Anything is possible in the fabulous Celtic twilight, which is not so much a twilight of the gods as of the reason.” So I guess my question is this what does Celtic mean to you?
I know the word Celtic is not usually used in an accurate historic way. I think nowadays it's mostly used to describe a music genre that includes sooo many different things, and to describe a certain aesthetic. I'm okey with the modern meaning of Celtic, I like the music that people usually call Celtic on the internet (whether it's historically accurate or not), and that's what I have in mind when I think about it and when I compose :) So I guess I'm just picking the modern re-defined meaning of the word because I like what people turned it into!
@@IanFontova So a general style that we modern people recognize as Celtic. So sort of a mixed bag of generally Celtic themes with a modern touch. To me "Celtic" refers to the native cultures of the Atlantic zone in western Europe and this is still a living culture so I'm happy to see artists like you bring new ideas to keep the culture going. I just wish people understood this better and had a stronger idea of what this means if you ask people whether or not Scandinavian culture is real no one would doubt it but Celtic some people think its just fantasy entirely made up.
@@Alasdair37448 I had a bit of an identity crisis with this some years ago 🤣 Some of my ancestors are Galician and I did a trip there wanting to know more about that part of my roots and the culture around. I was partly moved by my love for "Celtic music" (or what most people now understands as Celtic music ). Once there I had very interesting conversations with a historian (half cousin of mine) that was specialized in Galician history, and he explained to me that the way the word Celtic is used now in Galicia, and the fact that Galicia is included within the so called "Celtic Nations" is mostly a marketing strategy. That yes, there are certain traits that you could link between these cultures but it's all quite speculative, some of these cultures share some traits between them (as well as with other cultures not considered Celtic), some other traits are not shared... Bagpipes for example are found in so many cultures other than the celtic ones, and trying to link them into one same kind of music tradition was not very historically accurate. I was kind of hoping to find some really cool musical past that linked these cultures and probably there's no such thing, it's all just modern re-interpretation. So from then, I decided that I'd not care that much about the historic accuracy and just go with the modern conception as I like the imaginery and mood that it evokes. I think it has worked to create some really cool music and community and that's enough for me :) A more historically correct meaning of the word should coexist too and not be erased, but I think each part can have its place 🍀 Correct me if I got anything wrong, though!
@@IanFontova I would agree if ideas are chained to the past they become stagnant and die. but I think its important that we recognize that these ideas immerged from real cultures that exist into the present.
@@IanFontova oh and I don't have any problem with you calling your music fantasy that is not an issue I just wanted to know where your heart was so to speak.

Yep! 😄
Agreed
Aye Laddie , in my mind's-eye , I can see five redheads Celtic dancing to this absolutely epic tune with a background in the Highlands !!!

It's just wonderful inspiration to listen to your music, Ian! This is written bei Annette from Germany near Frankfurt.
Why does this man have so few subscribers? This piece alone is worth enough gold to make a cursed ring jealous.
🤣🤣🤣 best compliment

Good job. I'm using this one for a survey overview of the origins of the Celts. I'll cite this one.

Very talented artist, deserves much more likes and subscribers

This is beautiful... heard it a few times now and every time it reliefs me of the huge stress im currently going through. You're great Ian!
Thank you so much for your words. Happy my music can help, take care 💙
woowww, impresionante. La tin whistle negra es una susato????
Si :)
masterclass
Taking a moment to just point out those FLYING FINGERS MY GOD MAN.

I came here after Oaken's demo ;) I'm also a tin and low whistle musician, and I love your work ! I can't wait to hear your future compositions.
Thank you :D

Amazing! I might have a new favourite song 😊.
It just makes me start to dance (then fall over as I can't dance and stumble over my feet) and then do it again because this song makes me feel EPIC doing so 😆
😍 I like to imagine a crowd dancing like you described with this song. New official video coming when the pandemic is over
太酷了
Another Epic instrumental Ian!
Woah! The low d whistle is my hero in here!
So cooool thanks :)
Essa música medieval é muito boa
❤❤❤👍🙏
Increíble, como de costumbre. ¿Hay opciones para conseguir el disco en formato físico?
De momento no, lo siento 😅 Puede que en un futuro cuando tenga el volumen 1 y 2 acabados, los ponga juntos en disco y ahi sí haga copias físicas. Pero no hago envíos, seria entrega en mano si al final lo hago
