Maybe someone has already said this i don't know. I like to read other peoples comments to see what they think of the song and wonderful artist who made this, and i got a little perturbed. It is my belief that Loreena's music is a compilation of music, and poems gathered from around the world and put together into such an arrangement that although we might be from different religions, cultures, and countries we can still appreciate it for what it is... great music by a great artist
This music is beautiful!!!!!!!! Have I so far read correctly? You were in Sweden? Where exactly in Sweden? Can you speak swedish? For I can. I've been in south (Skane) and in the north (Kiruna).
I remember listening to this in the car and seeing the after math of a car crash. Broken bones, red flashing lights, but love shall still be lord of all.
Loreena is a gem. She tells us stories and takes us on jouneys of other times and places. I am in awe of her talent and love her music. Thanks for posting.
This song reflects the sad, sad reality of hate between nations...The brother of the English lady prefers to kill his own sister rather than seeing "a Scottish knigth the lord of all", which means, husband of the lady an co-owner of her lands!
aye a fair song when one is in dispair.. thy heart travels such a journey thru life as it may be.. as it will be fancy a dance and be still my heart. :) forever
The Violin, it makes me see all peace, when i hear the violin in all these songs, is see them, the trees...the water, the earth...it sounds cheesy but it's true, i dream a world i know to be true.
Hate ta burst your bubble az but one of the few things the Catholics got right was to drive Islam from spain.Take a good look at France today as well as many Muslim "countries" around the world and I promise you they make early catholic europe look like utopia! Think I,m fulla shit? Check out websites about Violence against women.Most Muslim(NOT ALL)countries are so intolerant towards other religions its sicking.Don,t even get me started on their brainwashing of children towards violence!
To the braindead donkey's arse called 'USAsoldier1955'...I find your understanding of YOUR history stunning in its short-sighted stupidity. Presumably you believe those things called 'Law' and 'Renaissance' [amongst other things] just fell from the clouds and landed in your laps. As for Celtic Culture...I think you'll find MUSLIM SPAIN was the main reason it survived CHRISTIAN Europe...
i love the scenery in the background, very fitting...especially with the string part which makes me think of an old sailing ship, rocking on the calm sea at sunset...
geez I am supposed to be writing an english paper and a biology term paper and i cant do ethier just because of all these beutifull songs not a single pearson i have shown her music to has rejected it in any way the immediate response is amazing and incredible I just wish more people knew about this music.
That song is immensely great, and the videos you added are really gorgeous! Thank you for so much beauty...
Loreena McKennitt is just the best. The emotional power of her songs cannot be described... I am completely enthralled by her works, which are all flawless =D
Another very tasteful adaptation of a famous poem. Loreena really excels at that. Nice to hear her soprano range is intact into middle age, unlike so many others I could name.
Basically go onto google, type in youtube converter. Find a website called FLVTO and paste the url on the address bar and paste it into the address bar on the website. This pick out the song and make it into an mp3 format so you can play on your ipod/mp3 and put on a cd.
thats weird i found her cd's under soft rock.anyways i love this song actually all her music is beautiful it is a shame a lot of people don't know who she is.later! :)
The term "celtic" is a phrase that was invented in the 19th century. Europe was made up of hundreds of small different tribes with their own names. The gene that is labelled "celtic" actually has the highest pop density in Germany. Ireland's dominant genes are the Ancient Irish and not the tribes that moved west around 500-300BC. Celtic music is a misnomer, the closest thing are acts who perform in ancient language of N. Wales, W. Ireland, Brittany. We don't know what music was like BC.
So reminicient of medieval romances. Also, it brings to mind the story regarding the characters Mandorallen the Knight Protector and Nerina his object of unriquited love(from David Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean"
"This song is based on Sir Walter Scott's poem It was an English Ladye Bright, was first published in "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" (London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme; Edinburgh: James Ballantyne, 1805). It is a ballad represented as sung at the wedding festivities by Albert Graeme. Scott says the residence of the Graemes was chiefly in the Debateable Land, so called because it was claimed by both Scotland and England at the time."
Some say love is a four letter word, but then so is evil...strange bedfellows. One does seem to follow the other...keep singing Loreena for those of us who do believe in love.
Okay first, this is definitly not celtic music. It's a song about a Scott Knight and an English lady. Obviously it's drawn from english folklore. Second, it's arguably christian since the knight ends up crusading in palastine under the sacred cross (Christian). Third: Loreena is not a celtic singer. She draws her inspiraton from all kinds of genres (a lot of celtic too I agree) she is Canadian and she can't be pigeonholed into just one category. She's too wonderful and diverse for that.
Loreena McKennitt cd's in many stores HAVE been put under celtic music. Much of her music is indeed celtic, and her newest album--which I find amazing sounds mostly Greek-- especially Penelope's Song (Penelope and Odysseus of the Trojan War!) I didn't find this song too christian however. I just found it to be a delightful mystical song, which Loreena's music tends to be
The Celts (or at least the Irish) created Christian music in the West. They introduced end rhyme into Latin poetry out of Irish poetry, wrote hymns in the vernacular as well as ones going back and forth from Irish to Latin. The Celts had a great deal to do with the re-Christianisation of northern Europe after the barbarian invasions. And the Christian Celts felt that their pagan past was worth saving, so they wrote it all down, rather like the Icelanders did later.
The Celts did not create Western Christian music, but were certainly a part of preserving the Western European (Roman) tradition. But not exclusively. For example, without the Franks (French), Europe would now be Arabic & Mohammedan.
We have only a hint at how ancient some of this music may be, much preserved from other cultures through ethnogenesis. Anglo-Saxon music also contributed to Celtic music, as Celts & Germans had been intermingling for millennia since prehistoric times.
nindojibwe -- I question whether the Celts introduced end rhyme because there isn't (to the best of my recollection) end rhyme in irish poetry although there is internal rhyme and the repeat of vowel sounds. The French are the master's of end rhyme. We often forget the contribution the Celts made to France.
And I have been thinking of the unifying effect of the Vikings. . . but just beginning to think of it.
Scandinavian women were often married to enemies of their fathers and/or brothers in order promote peace between the warring families. In fact, the women were known as "peace weavers." Women are good at acquiring languages, so upper class women were sent to other kingdoms to be educated in the customs and languages of the ally/enemy. Anne Boleyn was sent to France in her early teens for just that reason.
i love this song funny music like this always makes me day dream of love stories i am totally a romantic people think it's weird for someone my age oh well there is no age in love only what you can judge love for what it truly is weather you believe in true love or not that choice is yours
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Guess what also sucks, you you dipshit. I can see your the type that thinks if it isn't your style of music it is instantly horrible. Considering you are probably not anything more than an 8th grade child who has no life and all that you do with your small mind (which you should not allow wander for it is much to small and would get lost) is browse youtube videos all day.
Loreena is a gift from God granted to us, mere mortals, perhaps to give us a glimpse of what awaits us in Heavens...provided such a dimension does exist (I hope it does). And if it does, then she is the purest incarnation of it. "Life can be transcended" (Remember me-Josh Groban). Mine is, each time I listen to her.
I guess some italians are ephemeral, my dear... Life is short some times, when our beloved ones are not any more with us. Wonderful work and what a perfect music!
The choir is slightly bombastic, but the song still beautiful beyond the understanding. Would here Loreena have written and the words and the music? or someone else ?
Loreena McKennitt wrote the music; the words are from a poen by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832). This song is on her latest CD "An Ancient Muse" which everyone should listen to, at least once..."Tell me, O Muse, of those who travelled far and wide..."
Basically, an English lady fell in love with a Scottisk knight and was going to marry him. Her brother swore that she would die before she would marry a Scot, so her brother poisoned her with wine. She died and the Scot killed her brother in revenge, then went and died in the Crusades. It's very sad, but beautiful.
It was an English ladye bright, (The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,) And she would marry a Scottish knight, For Love will still be lord of all. Blithely they saw the rising sun When he shone fair on Carlisle wall; But they were sad ere day was done, Though Love was still the lord of all. Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine, Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall; Her brother gave but a flask of wine, For ire that Love was lord of all.
For she had lands both meadow and lea, Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall, For he swore her death, ere he would see A Scottish knight the lord of all. That wine she had not tasted well (The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall) When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell, For Love was still the lord of all! He pierced her brother to the heart, Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall -- So perish all would true love part That Love may still be lord of all!
Thank you for putting the words down. Prejudges is so powerful and sad. But love lives on and on, even in death, love lives on and on. I feel we can all relate to this in some way. Very beutiful.
for me it's her poorest album so far, an ancient muse is. i adore paralell dreams and elemantal but that's because i prefer her in her celtic stuff, all this later turkish-greek-spanish or whatever seems just far less spiritual... and i'm afraid an ancient muse is just a bit boring :(
It's a bowed string instrument: sounds like a medieval fiddle, but it could be a modern viola played with "dtraight tone," that is the player does not produce vibrato with her/his finger when depressing the string
It's a Viola da Gamba (foot viola), larger than a common viola and smaller than a cello, there are in fact many sizes (for sharper or lower sound). It ceased to be used after the Baroque age, but it gives a better "medieval" feeling. Great renaissance works for that instrument, too. Check out Jordi Savall.
I also love the song, but I just want to say that those are beautiful clips! The colors and the motion of the water are very artfully done. great job!
I think I'm in love with this song...! <3

And if it does, then she is the purest incarnation of it. "Life can be transcended" (Remember me-Josh Groban). Mine is, each time I listen to her.

I guess some italians are ephemeral, my dear... Life is short some times, when our beloved ones are not any more with us. Wonderful work and what a perfect music!

The choir is slightly bombastic, but the song still beautiful beyond the understanding. Would here Loreena have written and the words and the music? or someone else ?

Loreena McKennitt wrote the music; the words are from a poen by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832). This song is on her latest CD "An Ancient Muse" which everyone should listen to, at least once..."Tell me, O Muse, of those who travelled far and wide..."

soul laid bare long ago.
star crossed love does know.
beauty trapped in essence lives.
Light forever burns then gives.
voices praise earthly deeds.
angels painted murals leads.

Basically, an English lady fell in love with a Scottisk knight and was going to marry him. Her brother swore that she would die before she would marry a Scot, so her brother poisoned her with wine. She died and the Scot killed her brother in revenge, then went and died in the Crusades. It's very sad, but beautiful.

And then he took the cross divine,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And died for her sake in Palestine;
So Love was still the lord of all.
Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove,
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)
Pray for their souls who died for love,
For Love shall still be lord of all!

Thank you for putting the words down. Prejudges is so powerful and sad. But love lives on and on, even in death, love lives on and on. I feel we can all relate to this in some way. Very beutiful.

for me it's her poorest album so far, an ancient muse is. i adore paralell dreams and elemantal but that's because i prefer her in her celtic stuff, all this later turkish-greek-spanish or whatever seems just far less spiritual... and i'm afraid an ancient muse is just a bit boring :(

WHat kind of instrament is being used in the background and during the solos? Acordian-like....

It's a bowed string instrument: sounds like a medieval fiddle, but it could be a modern viola played with "dtraight tone," that is the player does not produce vibrato with her/his finger when depressing the string
MSJDMA 4 years ago
It's a Viola da Gamba (foot viola), larger than a common viola and smaller than a cello, there are in fact many sizes (for sharper or lower sound). It ceased to be used after the Baroque age, but it gives a better "medieval" feeling. Great renaissance works for that instrument, too. Check out Jordi Savall.
