Stunningly Beautiful
I am a fan of just about all of Loreena McKennitt's music, but there is something about this CD of hers which just pierces my soul every time I listen to it. It has a dream-like feel to it which intertwines dark longings with intense peace. My personal favorites are "Mystic's Dream", "Full Circle", and "The Two Trees", a beautiful poem by Yeats. Best of all though, is "Dark Night Of The Soul", a song written by a monk expressing his passionate love for God. It brings tears of joy to my eyes and a taste of heaven to my spirit every time I hear it.

Simply Beautiful
Without question this is one of the most delightful collections of music I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Each time her voice comes on in Ce He Mise Le Ulaingt?/The Two Trees I feel taken away to another place. Light some candles, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy.
