After Enya, Norah Jones and Yanni, the roster of New Age musicians becomes decidely less famous. One popular New Age artist is Loreena McKennitt. Her music, like her ancestry, is Celtic though many of the themes are reminescent of Enya. Her most famous work is The Mummer's Dance, a staple of pop radio stations in the late 1990s, and the feature work on this album. The other works are also good, but none as great as The Mummer's Dance. The album itself only has eight works, making this a short album for the purchase price. Each of the works are unique, some are instrumental while others include singing. The music is appropriate background music while reading or eating dinner. Overall, an OK album. Free Music Review: Timeless
Hit: 5 Stars
I had the very great pleasure to watch Loreena on public television in concert. WOW! She works with the musicians to create this unique music. Words will not do justice to this beautiful and transcending sound. This music will indeed be timeless and bring joy for eternity.Free Music Review: Tripping into the mystic
Hit: 4 Stars
Written as something of a travelogue, Loreena Mckennitt best selling album (it was recently certified platinum) is one of the best of its kind. Originally issued in 1997, the kick-in point was when an edit/remix of "The Mummer's Dance" cracked the top 20. It characterizes much of Mckennitt's work; strong melodies, lush harmonies and a deep Celtic bent. Mining the same ground Clannad did for Macalla, and to a lesser extent, Enya, this is music for those intimate nights when you're feeling mystical. As good as "Mummer's" is "The Highwayman," where the classic poem by Alfred Noyes is set to music.
