Hey. Quick question. Have you ever heard any of Loreena McKennitt’s music? I think you would like it. Lot of it is based on old poetry. Quite bardish.
Would recommend starting with ‘The Star of the County Down’ or ‘The Mummer’s Dance’ if you haven’t heard her work before.
As a matter of fact...
Here is my Loreena McKennitt CD I picked up back in the late 1990s - we go way back! :)
You are absolutely correct to recommend her to me as I love her music! I think I discovered her through The Mummer's Dance (irony), which is what moved me to pick up this CD.
I don't believe I've heard her rendition of The Star of the County Down, but being a massive Irish/Celtic/Scottish music lover, I know the tune for sure. I'll have to check that out. Thank you so much!
For those who haven't heard The Mummer's Dance before, here you go! Well worth your time:
