In a stirring and inspirational return to her roots, Loreena McKennitt has created a new album of traditional Celtic songs, recorded this summer in the historic 1832 Sharon Temple north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
"Every once and again there is a pull to return to ones own roots or beginnings, with the perspective of time and experience, to feel the familiar things you once loved and love still," says Loreena.
Consisting of nine songs, it was recorded with some of Loreena s long-time musical companions along with a cast of other accomplished musicians.
1. As I Roved Out
2. On a Bright May Morning
3. Brian Boru's March
4. Down by the Sally Gardens
5. The The Star of the Count
6. The The Wind That Shakes
7. The The Death of Queen Ja
8. The The Emigration Tunes
9. The The Parting Glass
