Sad and haunting - just like a Celtic song should be. laugh

So you had me Googling around as to why "Celtic" has two different pronunciations.

Apparently the French in the 16th century derived it from the French word "Celte", which in turn came from the Latin "Celta". And being the 16th century and everyting, it was pronounced with an "s", because that was how they rolled back then.

But in the early as the 18th century, language and history academics decided that the "c" needed to be pronounced like it was in ancient Greek and Classical Latin, because dead languages rule and you can't go making changes to languages all willy-nilly. So they changed to a "k" sound.

All of which is to say that your song is historically accurate - starting by pronouncing it with an "s", and ending with a "k". wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
