Loreena McKennitt fans, read on! The soul of this artists's music is rooted in the quiet beauty of contemplation. By combining the ancient sounds of the Celts, the spirituality of Medieval Mystics, and the woeful mourn of the Appalachian tradition, she writes new music that evokes a sense of the past. Her 1998 release maintains a passion for ancient musical modes and traditions, while remaining true to her own individual style. Sweeping across the centuries, crossing the continents (akin to McKennitt's Mask and Mirror), from Italy to England, Ireland to the Southern Applachian Mountains, she weaves a beautiful musical tapestry of her own journeys.
