Loreena McKennitt Performs for the Pope
 Login/Join
 
Posted
Hello, Loreenakateers, I have another great idea. I read an article from the Catholic News Service News regarding the singers who will perform for Pope Benedict XVI when he comes to the US in a couple weeks. I know that Ms. McKennitt is not one of them. However, I thought it would be great if Ms. McKennitt should perform for the Pope in the Vatican, something like "Dark Night of the Soul", which I believe is suitable. What do you guys think? --Loreenya

I don't remember if the Pope attended past Christmas concerts personally; I don't think so, anyway for at least 10 years the 'concerto di Natale' had been held in Roma, at the Vatican. Two years ago the event was held in another location, and the year later in Verona the first time. This is the second chance for Verona to host the show, but I don't think the Pope will move there; anyway I'm not sure, as rarely I watched it in the past.

Well, Jesse, the Concerto di Natale is an annual Christmas concert held in Italy and it features musicians from all over the world. Enya was a past performer of that concert in 1995. So, I guess that Ms. McKennitt is catching up to her Irish counterpart. --Loreenya

well as long as she doesn't sing All Souls Night. I don't think the pope would like a song about a pagan festival sung to him, even if it is by someone as awesome as Loreena. Well, freesoul, depending on when she will perform to him I think that a midwinter night's dream song would be a great idea...christmas is probably closer than we think!
what is the Concerto di Natale, Loreenya? it's the first I've heard of it.
Luv Jesse Big Grin

Loreenya and Jesse...Hi to both,

most probably she will sing something from AMND, since it is a Christmas-theme compilation-, but honestly I would like so much her to sing 'Dante's Prayer'. In my humble opinion it wouldn't be off topic at all. Smiler

Well, Jesse, I do not know for sure. What do you think what song Ms. McKennitt would perform for His Holiness at this time? You know it makes me wonder. Aren't you looking forward to her appearance at the Concerto di Natale? --Loreenya

Greetings, Loreenakateers. I just received some wonderful news. My wish came true. Ms. McKennitt is going to perform for the Vatican and you know what that means...she is performing for the Pope and she is going to him!!! Oh my goodness, I am so excited. As I say, God bless His audacious servant and our Colonel, Loreena McKennitt. --Loreenya

Hi Loreenya

Although they say the world is smaller, in this case, Canada simply is too far away! Big Grin

I also would like to meet her some day.
I'd like to meet a lot of people.
It could be nice if we in the community could meet some day too! Cool

Loreenya (bowing at the waist): Well, good day, Ms. McKennitt.

Loreena: Hello, Loreenya. How do you do?

Loreenya:*clears throat* Very well, my ladyship. Now, if it pleases Her Colonelcy, allow me to escort you to the cathedral. The pope awaits you.

Loreena: That would be marvelous. You are most kind, Loreenya. Thank you.

Loreenya (tucking arm around Ms. McKennitt): Well, off we go.

He, he! Smiler Smiler Smiler
