Hymnbooks and compilations that are truly new seem impossible to come by. Most are just a reording or resetting of hymnals of the past.  While 101 Hymns and Songs of the Celtic Spirit is not a proper hymnal per se, Songs of the Celtic Spirit is rather a supplemental songbook, a remarkable segment of its content is fresh and original.

There are selections that George Bayley has written for congregations he has served and found that they work well in a parish setting.  Celtic themes of community, hospitality, nature, justice, and peasce are emphasized throughout, and the tunes are singable.  This is another good resource for broadening the musical palate of any parish.
