Track Comments To the Visit
Loreena McKennitt

All Soul's Night

This piece was inspired by the imagery of a Japanese

tradition which celebrate the souls of the

departed by sending candle-lit lanterns out on

waterways leading to the ocean, sometimes in

little boats; along with imagery of the Celtic

All Souls Night celebrations, at which time huge

bonfires were lit not only to mark the new year,

but to warm the souls of the departed. - L.M.


Bonny Portmore

The destruction of old growth forests has become an

important conservation issue in recent years, but it

is not a new phenomenon. Over the centuries many

of Ireland's old oak forests were leveled for military

and shipbuilding purposes. Only recently has there

been an effort to reestablish these great hardwoods.

The Great Oak of Portmore stood on the property

of Portmore Castle on the shore of Lough Beg. - L.M.

Greensleeves

I always wondered how Tom Waits would

sing Greensleeves. When preparing my

previous recording Parallel Dreams,

while waiting to do something else, we

accidentally and spontaneously recorded

this track in one take without ever intending

to release it. However, here is, Tom. - L.M.


Tango to Evora

This piece was originally conceived and recorded for the National Film

Board of Canada's The Burning Times, directed by Donna Reid. - L.M.


Courtyard Lullaby

The photographs which appear in this booklet were

taken at a 16th century hunting lodge in Portugal,

where Elisabeth Feryn and I stayed for a week. Within

the lodge was a courtyard, marked at each corner by

orange trees. The feel of the place reminded me of

the Unicorn tapestries which hang in The Cloisters

in New York City. The tapestries and the lodge are

both rich with earthy, pre-Christian iconography -

depicting the mysterious life and death cycle of the

seasons. It was in this courtyard that this piece was

conceived. - L.M.


The Old Ways

I spent a most haunting New Year's Eve in Doolin,

County Clare, Ireland some years ago, and was moved

by the antiquity of the some of the celebrations. Yet

I was met by deep reminders that they may be the

remnants of the old world meeting the new. - L.M.


Cymbeline

Here are William Shakespeare's thoughts

on this earthly visit. this song occurs

towards the end of his romance play

Cymbeline, which was written near the

end of the author's life. The play is set

in ancient Britain when the Romans were

invading the last remaining outpost of

the old Celtic order. - L.M.
