Most of the songs are written for the show except for The voice,The Streets of Dublin, and The Parting Glass.JordanFord said:
The actual "songs" (On the Streets of Dublin, The Voice, Finnegan's Wake, Wild Rover, and the Parting Glass) you can find anywhere online. I believe most of the music during the dance scenes are an original score for the show.
I'm an expert on Festivale Italiano. The first "song" is really just a bunch of lalalas written to fit into the score, it's not an actual song. The next song that starts out with a solo male singing is called a Brindisi or drinking song. It's called Libiamo Ne'lieti Calici and is from Verdi's La Traviata. Note that the song has been greatly shortened for Festivale, it includes just the beginning then skips to the ending. The final song is Con Te Partiro made famous by Andrea Bocelli. The show version is much faster than most versions of the song that you can find. It is a combination of the original Italian song and the Time to Say Goodbye version by Bocelli and Sarah Brightman.
If you want the revised lyrics I can PM them.
It was time to say goodbye, as Festivale ended with Illuminights yesterday.
BTW: It is correct that the non vocal score was originally composed, and the score for individual songs was (obviously) rescored to fit in with the rest of the show. I think I found the website for the guy who recorded or composed it by Google-ing Celtic Fyre.

I would agree that it has at least one more year. And it was actually quite different from last year's version: the choreography was completely redone and new acrobats came, the section with the accordion and violinist was eliminated, and the hip hop dance section was added, they even gave the dancers new costumes for the beginning. (I prefer this year's version) If Busch made minor changes like this to all of their shows, I think season pass holders would be more satisfied. Although, some shows like Pet Shananigans, can't really do this.
Anyone want to know where Busch Gardens got the music for the Christmas Town show "Rejoice"? On iTunes search , Gregorian Christmas Chants and click on the album with the white forest and a small chanter in the background. The album has the exact same music from the show only Busch spliced it up a little. Although the finale song is by Michel W Smith called "Christmastime". Here is the list of songs in order from the show, also which CD there located on.
1. When a child is born , Gregorian CD
2. Peace on earth/Little drummer boy , Gregorian CD
3. The first Noel , Gregorian CD
4. Happy Xmas (War is over) , Gregorian CD
5. Silent Night , Gregorian CD
6. Christmastime , Michel W. Smith CD

I'd like to revisit this question, now that the 2012 season is here.
Streets of Dublin
Finnegans Wake
...Voice...
What is the current song and dance tune list for Celtic Fyre? Anybody here know?
Streets of Dublin is from the play "Man of No Importance", with a few lyrical changes.
The Voice from Celtic Woman
Wild Rover, Irish standard, my favorite cover is The Dubliners
Finnegans Wake, another standard, Flogging Molly did a good version.
If you dig Celtic folk/Rock, check out Enter the Haggis, Awesome band!!!
