A familiar-sounding Celtic melody

While Johann Pachelbel's instantly recognizable Canon in D major stands up perfectly well on its own, the title track from Seamus Egan's "When Juniper Sleeps" release would make a fine prelude to it.  The similarities struck me today as I listened.  In case you're seeking accessible, contemplative music for St. Patrick's Day played on guitar and tin whistle, any track from Egan's album should draw you in.
