I would like to have a clarification about the song "The Bonny Swans" from "The Mask and Mirror". As Loreena explained on the documentary "No Journey's end", she was inspirated from a book. Which book is it?
I think that the song is a scottish fairy-tale, where can i found the original trascription?

One more think: Where can i found the full interview where Loreena talks about "The Bonny Swans" in "No Jouney's end"?

Thank you

^Indeed. It's a wonderful album and everyone should purchase it *as far as they may be able to find it available in their places* The Bonny Swan ~ A really beautiful song too.

Hi Dreamingmydreams,

Although this is not an answer to your question, do you have Loreena's The Book of Secrets (words and music). It's where she shares her insight on her travels and inspiration for her music. And in the second segment, Loreena is interviewed by Tim Wilson.

It may or may not offer an alternative, if you are not able to find the original transcription of the two songs you mentioned. But it's a really wonderful cd, if you don't have it already.
