Loreena McKennitt - The Seven Rejoices of Mary (HQ)

[nllleonard]

Very special. 

[Shanethefilmmaker]

Many people see this background tune as a celtic xmas song, but I will always remember it as Star of the County down.

[rainbow3979]

@Shanethefilmmaker Oh yes, I'm a big fan of Irish music, and this is definately "Star Of The County Down" ! I recognized immediately !

[MultiTata80]

I love you Loreena Mc Kennitt, your voice is like a hymn!

[celticdwmd]

Great voice! It has been a long time!

[wwproductionshhw]

Fenomenaal, wat mooi, wat een stem, kan er geen genoeg van krijgen!!

[moe777]

Amazing , She has a voice from heaven !

[GoddessPower]

Loreena McKennitt is my favorite artist! I just can't get enough of her music and I have everything she's ever recorded. Truly amazing!

[llensart]

God Bless You Loreena McKennitt !

[carjpie]

This melody sounds like the "Star of the County Down"

[rainbow3979]

@carjpie It is !!!!

[777Arky777]

Beautiful music, outstanding voice. Words can't do this justice.

[Bruce99100]

this is absolutley beautiful...

[jokersovi]

BEST VOICE EVER!!!!

[6MemoryOfForever9]

is she a Christian? she seems to do a lot of Christmas or Spiritual songs, "Dark Night of the Soul", "The Seven Rejoices of Mary", etc....

[Winterhotsprings]

@6MemoryOfForever9 Wiccan last time I heard.

[xsuzheartx]

@6MemoryOfForever9 I think Loreena is a Christian but probably in a more theologically learned and progressive way. I definitely don't see her as a fundamentalist/conservative.

[Reiffan]

THIS is the most impressing and emotional music-video, I've ever seen.... I get lost see this gorgeous woman, while she sings. Wish to know her...

[fabiolinsleite]

Loreena's music was one of the artistic sources that taught me to be a full human being. I would love to hear she sing a Byzantine style chant, maybe Agni Parthene.

[6MemoryOfForever9]

@fabiolinsleite DEFINITELY Agni Parthene!! :D have you heard Divna's exquisite version?

[cashmny78]

The most talented musician in modern times.

[ardentluma]

Loreena, you are beautiful.

[bluemargaritagirl]

This song is so way much better than that stupid new church song that says " the world is about to turn"!

[BigVomit07]

Amazing...really amazing tune and voice!!

[Michael32GER]

sitting here. I cry. This song is much of emotions. Does a british understand my? iam from Germany, Iam not understand all, but I think this is not importend., its more importend that the empire will give the Irish free. Iam only a german, I like Lineker, Shearer, Gascoigne and Lampard. Be proud of Sir Sir A. C. Doyle, P. Mc Cartney and Prince Harry. England is Europe. England will be still in my heart. Theres no fail to give the Irish there own

Greetings from Germany to the owner of the seas.

[johnwon454]

Beautiful, I've been researching the tune "Star of the County Down" and discovered the differnt songs written using this melody. So far, I like this one the best. The vocals are so pure, that it draws tears. I also like Alan Rickman "Star of The County Down" which is also very beautiful and I feel compliments "This Song" very well. I'm just a lover of "Great Music" and thought I'd share what I found. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of work. May God Continue to Bless.

[dralockhart]

@johnwon454 Star of the County Down is wonderful. I highly recommend Margaret Brennan & Sheoda's version of the song.

[johnwon454]

@dralockhart Thanks for discerning correctly that I would in fact love that recommendation. It is a beautiful version and I love her voice. Thanks: John

[MrArmoiries]

Simply spectacular. There are no words to describe her beauty, vocal or physical. To my Canadian Lady, you never leave me in despair, and always leave me in despair.

[amimillie]

I bless the day I was given a cassette sampler when I bought some CDs - she is even more great than I dared to hope when I first played the tape. Simply wonderful.

[burkardhanis]

love the song and her version of it. She, like Bach and other musicians before her, are gift to humankind from the All Holy Trinity!

[Tarotlynx]

This is beautiful. So elegant, and yet, so simple. She's not trying to do anything but sing a song, to uplift the spirit. There's no flash, no trick, no gimmick here. Just a musician searching for the truth and sharing some of her insights with the rest of us.

[artpipe]

What a time to be alive

Image and Music, two seconds away

And I find another song from an Artist

And a glimpse that didn't exist yesterday

[Pesakar]

Absolutely amazing.

[CarolynsChannel]

Isn't this the tune for "The Canticle of Turning"??

[XxEllenMaccaxX]

Is this not the tune for the 'bell of the county down'?

I remember learning to play it on the Tin whistle when I was younger

[lichtbroeder]

@XxEllenMaccaxX Yes, it is. The lyrics fit beautifully, though I prefer the traditional English tune.

[eyeboule]

never heard before...very nice...thank you for posting!

[jongrr]

Sublime.

[lordlevyinger25]

Loreena, I love you sooo much! May the Godess bless you each day more!

Raphaël (Brazil)

[pmilew]

This is great in many forms, voice, instruments, tempo...my favorite is at the very end, what a terrific smile with the arched eyebrows. Thanks for the gift of music.

[chefMONICA882010]

loreena is a godees of the music. I wish to sing like her. She inspires me every day and evry minute of my life! Her songs made my life wonderful!

Thank u Loreena for coming in my life!

I hope that some day I'll know you personal!

[applecomputerfun]

Miss McKennitt, a rare true and virtuous woman. I wish I could know personally

[Dannathan3121]

Absolutely movingly gorgeous--It brings tears to my eyes.

[JulianH21]

2 ppl who missed the "like" button :( :(

[bangedurdaughter69]

She has the voice of an angel.

[SheIsASchokoholic]

She is a really beautiful woman and her songs are wonderful. :-)

[furzkram]

Outstanding!!!

[CARAthePOET]

absolutely beautiful

[missbeatrix1]

And one of the most beautiful aspects of this song (besides her voice; that's a given!) is that it's not just a Christmas song! At the very end, there are references to the Holy Week and Easter Sunday, as well. Bravo, Loreena!!! ;D

[NinjaDriver]

she's a genius!

[MsDragon53]

This is same melody to The Star Of The County Down. Many different versions by many different artists, my favorite is the Orthodox Celts. The Seven Rejoices of Mary is also a hymm performed by many different artists. Loreena does find great joy in her craft. She makes a magnificent musical patchwork quilt of time and place.

[claritysabbath]

It's also the melody of a popular hymn, "I feel the winds of God today." :) One of my favourites.

[Poison666lord]

Great, pure magic!

I'm going to Europe in April, hope to have the chance to see some show

[philipchek]

her voice is really magic.

[JaiMaJames]

lOVE YOU LOREENA

BLESSED FLAME OF HOLY MYSTERY

A WINTER'S DREAM OF ETERNALSUN

Jai Ma!

[DLowryVA]

This whole album is a delight!

[pammyk]

Also same tune as one sung by Michael Card/American Hymn: I Will Arise and Go To Jesus

[RedSidhe]

Love this song!

[Pencil257]

Is it just me or is this the same melody as the star of the county down?

[cairipinha]

indeed, it is :-)

[karenpepper]

Definately

[ChrisMoonmadness]

FYI, the studio you see her sing in is Peter Gabriel's Real World complex. Probably one of the best studios in the world.

[winterdreams80]

A Midwinter Night's Dream CD is simply amazing !!! Many thanks to Loreena, her staff and the wonderful musicians who play alongside her for creating such masterpieces !! :-)

[Greysword1]

@winterdreams80 MANY. MANY Thanks, INDEED !!!!!

[TheJoshmire]

Wonderful! That folk tune is one of my favourites! ♥

[sarahrhapsody]

[UdoShan]

OMG Loreena is such a wonderful songstress!

Voice of an Angel? Try voice of a GODDESS!

[freeinjapan]

[summonthemuse]

Beautiful...music that actually has meaning, real meaning.

[anniebananie354]

What a gem

[Joe41272]

This song makes me weep. It's a singularity of beauty in a world of hideous.

[CITYSTARS217]

This song is so beautiful.

[imeldagreen]

where on EARTH does this video come from? It is not part of any of her 3 DVDs. If this is property of Quinlan Road it means it's possible to buy it somewhere? HOW GORGEOUS SHE IS!

[quinlanroad]

This was recorded at Real World Studios near Bath. The footage is purely for promotional use. Not for sale at this time.

[imeldagreen]

I am very sorry to hear. Thanks for the quick reply!

[ForestBalrog]

@quinlanroad - I hope this gets releases soon, it would be a wonderful purchase! =)

[steven609]

Hands down the voice of an angel in everything she sings!

[iraqidolphin]

~ LM is truly awesome~

[RnBAmbassador]

[andianhu]

the *one* Christmas song that I'm able to listen not only in Christmas time, but anytime at all. Fabolous...

[mrkajtar]

[mefornow]

Wonderful Song, i love this marvelous music, it´s sounds so great and the lyrics so mystic. thank you so much for the fantastiv performance. Loreena you´re so amazing.

greetings from germany - Burkhard -

[windsorcrew]

It is a beautiful and very old melody. Iv'e heard several different lyric versions including an old hymn. Its great to hear

Loreena's version as only she can sing it!

[Linkbass]

One of my favourite Irish tunes 'The Star of the County Down'

Loreena thank you for this wonderful adaptation to your own words. Any singer that can hit an emotional part of this Celtic Scot's inner self is a rare thing.

[RedSidhe]

Lovely! Amo la música de Loreena,qué lástima que no visite Latinoamérica.

[PierreAlexandre78]

Super Loreena ! J'aime vraiment cette chanson pleine de spiritualité. Une vraie chanson de Noël qui touche les coeurs ! Thank You Loreena, it's wonderfull !

[Chealder]

All calmed down at once, she's great. Thanks for uploading some of her songs, because she's way better live than on the CD.

[MaryV1970]

I love this new version... it's wonderful!

It seems you're singing live.

Thanks,Loreena! You are great!

[quinlanroad]

In case anyone is wondering, this file was uploaded a second time for the widescreen quality. The original upload was not coded with the proper dimensions.

[felybj]

It also sounds in stereo. Thanks a lot!

[soyderute]

Insuperable como siempre, es la mejor. She´s the best

[Daguona]

One of the most beautifull song...

[smokeynewton]

Sorry....'dysfunctional'.

[smokeynewton]

Thank you for sharing this! Loreena, please don't ever stop recording this beautiful music. You are a 'breath of fresh air' in this ever more disfuntional world.

[Jaxcast]

Rediscovered Loreena after putting her music away in the 90's. Today her voice is as fresh and dignified as it was back then. 5 star and fav'ed.

[Tessietots]

I love this song! And I love Loreena. Your voice and music stirs my soul. Thank You
