The Mummers' Dance sung by Moniange

Song Originally featured by Loreena McKennitt
cover featured by Moniange

When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak,
and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair
When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

And so they linked
their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

Hi Monica.'Warbling soprano vocals',is how Loreena's vocal style is described.

Your performance,with similar vocals & a beautiful video was enjoyed in Australia.

All the best, Greg.

Thank you for putting this up. I really enjoy the opening with the more instrumental use of your voice.

@tokmind thanks a lot for your comment

This has a wonderful instrumental flow, and you make it so pleasant with your vocalizations all along that fits it so well to be almost part of the music itself. The singing is taken this time in a different way, showing to people your vast vocal/lyrical repertoire once again, with an elegant, sensual and pure voice that doesn't have comparations.

I like very much also the serenity of the images in the video and the smooth colors, altogether this is peace for the mind :)
