According to Enya.sk, Enya declared in the press release for Watermark:
They’d been working on The Celts, researching for two years, and they decided it was about time they started getting the music in. They had lots of tapes from different composers and didn’t like any of the music and so Tony McAuley rang and said, ‘Are you interested in this project and if so, could you write us a piece of music and send it yesterday?’ So myself and Nicky went into the studio for five or six days and came out with ‘The March Of The Celts’. We just went to town and decided to do what we liked. Nicky said, ‘Let’s do multi-vocals, let’s try this’ and we just tried everything we wanted and sent it off. There was silence for a few days and the next thing we heard they all loved it. What they were gonna do initially was have a composer for each program, but when they heard our piece of music they commissioned us to write the whole 70 minutes of music.
