Last night, my parents and I were watching "The Mists of Avalon" on DVD and I knew that Loreena McKennitt had contributed a song on the series. When I heard "The Mystic's Dream", I was exuberant. That song added a great deal to an experience like no other. I believe it was very suitable to the scene where the protagonist, Morgaine, was going through her magical training. I reckon that like myself, Ms. McKennitt loves Arthurian legend and mythology.

Hi Amaya

I found this clip on youtube...

Mists of Avalon

It must be The Mystic's Dream she's singing (I only listened for 30 sec. Big Grin )


Also I wish you welcome here. Smiler

is 'the mists of avalon' a movie? I haven't seen it but it sounds good!

I'm into norse mythology myself, but arthurian legens are pretty cool as well, I suppose.

do you like 'The Lady of Shalott'? (it's track 4 on 'The Visit' in case you weren't aware) the fact that Loreena put it one of her albums certainly backs up what you said about her liking arthurian legends as well. I'm not sure who the Lady of Shalott was in that particular mythology, but the song mentions Lancelot so I guess she figures in there somewhere...

Luv Jesse

I love the Arthurian Legends also and The Mists of Avalon is one of my favourite books and movies. That's actually how I came across Loreena McKennitt's music Smiler

I too love Arthurian legends Loreenya! How wonderful they are. The Mists of Avalon is a great film I have it on dvd as well. I love how "The Mystic's Dream" is used in it, and in a way becomes Morgaines theme music. It really does add a great deal to the film. What would you think, Loreenya, about Loreena composing music for The Lord of the Rings? I wish she would have but perhaps she will for The Hobbit...
