Love Bill Whelan's score. The saxophone part (Kenneth Edge, I believe) at 2:24 is incredible and really underlines the unity in the entire Riverdance score as an ethnic world music piece. It sounds middle eastern, eastern European, and of course, Irish.
I'm part Irish and it makes me proud that two young Irish American dancers Micheal Flatley and Jean Butler made this into a worldwide smash production and these are the original taps by Michael and Jean and the original dance troupe.
Bollocks! You can only be American. The Definition of a song is; A short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung. OED. Don't be silly. Would you call Vivaldi's 4 season a lovely song?
Makes me so proud to be Irish born l have live my whole life in this small amazing beautiful country of mine I love our music our dancing our culture and I live in the Greatest County in Ireland 🇮🇪 the rebel County Cork ❤️
Now there is a animated Riverdance movie with the score by the composer who composed the music for the show,yes this film was inspired by the worldwide stage show and all the music is from the show with a twist humans and animals dancing to the music from Riverdance.
+Kitkat Dodger I am currently in Irish Dance and I love every second of it. I started out doing Ballet and Tap then moved on to Jazz and Hip Hop but didn't like either. I had a friend that been doing Irish Dance at the time and I loved watching her. I went to one of her competitions before joining and loved the way they moved and the solo dresses and I'm glad I made the decision of joining. My best achievement was finishing my first year of Irish Dance moving up to all Novice.
It's been about 4 years this January and I have competed at every Arizona competition, and I went to the WRO (Western Regional Oireachtas) with a new dress and I loved the experience.
I love the moment when everyone comes in and you can feel them trying to shake the house down. It’s electric!
Reel around the sun has to be my favorite from Riverdance, but this is very close! I really love this one.
I used to dance myself ( Irish Solo/Step Dancing ) and was fortunate enough to see this show live. Back in 1997! Eek!
Such a long time ago!

This is my favorite song off the entire album! It recently got stuck in my head and I've been looking for it for so long thank you for uploading!
Not a song... No words
fiddle0351 a song is just a beat with melody and a sound, a song does not need words

Génial !!!! Magnifique !!! Sublime...........
Still by far one of my favourite pieces of music to dance to!
Michael Flatley is a legend
He was the star of the show,you can hear his and Jean's taps on the recording.
Both jean and Micheal recorded their taps along with the original Riverdance dance troupe.
Now there is a animated Riverdance movie with the score by the composer who composed the music for the show,yes this film was inspired by the worldwide stage show and all the music is from the show with a twist humans and animals dancing to the music from Riverdance.
This is my favorite song from Riverdance!!
