I am half Norwegian, and an eighth each Danish, Swedish, Swiss, and English. I like Celtic music too, and it is calming. I think it's the nature of the music. I play the Irish Whistle and recorder flutes, and a lot of the songs I love to play the most are Celtic. My husband is Scottish and he plays the bagpipes too, and loves the Celtic music, so I have mostly been exposed to it through him. Not that I don't also like other music, particularly Norwegian music (that Hardanger fiddle can really get you, and we have one album with a Norwegian singer and an Irish singer - they take turns - on that album we both prefer the Norwegian singer - the album is Tideland by Rita Eriksen and I forget the name of the other lady). But a lot of Norwegian music is sad or even tragic. Another thing about the Celtic music, particularly Irish Whistle, is that it blends so well with nature sounds. We have several albums that incorporate nature sounds with Irish Whistle, and those are very soothing.
