In a breathtaking musical moment that moved hearts across generations, Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder came together in a rare and powerful duet, delivering a haunting mashup of “My Land” as a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II. The performance, titled “My Land (Mashup 2, V2),” quickly drew emotional praise for its elegant fusion of Irish pride, regal reverence, and vocal brilliance.
“My Land,” originally penned by renowned Irish songwriter Brendan Graham, is a deeply personal hymn to homeland and legacy. Its soaring melody and poetic lyrics have long resonated with Celtic audiences, but in this reimagined version—intertwining male and female harmonies—the song takes on new meaning: a farewell steeped in grace and unity.
Released posthumously following the Queen’s passing, the duet honors not only her reign but also the deeper ties between Britain and Ireland, once marked by struggle and now echoed through shared artistry. The emotional arrangement features sweeping orchestration, lush landscapes, and archival imagery subtly woven into the video—an audiovisual tapestry fit for a monarch.
The tribute has since struck a chord online, with thousands commenting on the serenity and power of the piece. One listener wrote, “It’s not just a song—it’s a prayer wrapped in velvet.”
For Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder, both global ambassadors of Irish music, this collaboration stands as more than performance. It’s remembrance. It’s peace. It’s a final bow sung in harmony.
