Many but to narrow it down to two I'd say She Moved Through The Fair and Danny Boy.

A bit of info on the song Danny Boy from what I've found onlne (printed here by permission): "To begin with, Danny Boy is one of over 100 songs composed to the same tune. The author was an English lawyer, Frederic Edward Weatherly (1848-1929), who was also a songwriter and radio entertainer. In 1910 he wrote the words and music for an unsuccessful song he called Danny Boy. In 1912 his sister-in-law in America sent him a tune called the Londonderry Air which he had never heard before. He immediately noticed that the melody was perfectly fitted to his Danny Boy lyrics, and published a revised version of the song in 1913. As far as is known, Weatherly never set foot in Ireland."

This is hard because there are so many great songs by the Celtic Woman. But up there near the top is The Soft Goodbye. I just love the harmony and Lisa, Chloë and Méav just perfect the song.
