Loreena Mckennitt The Mystic's Dream HD (video dedicado a Huellasdeayer) reaction!

[@cutelilrikki]

This is a name I didn't expect to see here. I love Loreena so, so much.

[@MichaelReiter]

@@justjulie37 So true, Loreena is amazing. Great choice!

[@michaelpennington7800]

Traditional, ancient instruments. Loreena is a brilliant artist and musical anthropologist. Her music is a giant rabbit hole of magnificent depth. Thank you.

[@mikkj1]

loreena is one of those artists that can create an entire vision in your mind when she sings. You don't just hear her music, you SEE what she's singing about. My favorite, for personal reasons, is "Night Ride Across The Caucasus". I don't know if there's an M/V, but it doesn't matter.

[@jamesharper3933]

This concert was filmed at Alhambra in Spain. Loreena sings traditional Irish music. She has a lovely voice. Other songs to check out are Dante's Prayer and 12 Raglan Road. Glad you enjoyed this. I listen to everything from heavy metal to new age music. This concert is available on CD/DVD and not to mention KZbin.

[@cora6855]

Fell in love with her voice and the kind of music when I watched the Avalon film (with this song in it) as a teenager. At least once a year I watch this concert on DVD and this still is my favourite song.

[@Maria01140]

One of my personal favorites from the Live performance in Alhambra, Granada, Spain by Loreena McKennitt. The way she walks into the stage is magical. 🎼🖤🎼She is beautiful.

[@doughaviland1729]

So nice to see someone trying someone who is not POP! Her music is very earthy and she uses older instruments whenever she can. This concert at the Alhambra is on DVD and a treasure to watch ! 🙂

[@Christopher.Thompson]

There is and always will be only one Loreena Mckennitt in this world. Wonderful!

[@WhiteTiger333]

I've loved Loreena's music since forever! Hearing her songs bring back such memories since her music always delighted me and fed my soul..

[@rpvee]

Cool choice for a reaction! What’s fascinating about Loreena is just how many genres and sub-genres she explores. Her catalogue can be broken down into traditional-sounding Celtic/Irish music, Middle Eastern music, and piano ballads, plus combinations of all three. But it’s also so much more. She describes her music as a form of “travel writing”, developed as she’s studied the history of the Celtic tribes from Europe through Asia and everywhere in between (thus the strong Middle Eastern influences as her albums progressed over the years).On top of that, she’ll write and compose haunting original songs (like this one), but also just as well adapt a centuries-old melody or poem to song, even from the likes of Shakespeare himself. Oh, and she also plays harp, piano, and accordion, is her own manager, and is the only artist on her own record label, 100% controlling her own career in all aspects from the beginning. Record labels famously bowed to her wishes and terms when they offered to help with distribution when her career really started to take off.Her music truly takes you to another place, and she has a song for every mood. Want some Celtic ethereal peace? Courtyard Lullaby. Want to break your heart and put it back together? Dante’s Prayer. Want to bellydance? Marco Polo. Want an ancient Celtic/Eastern bonfire festival? All Souls Night. Want an Irish breakup by the ocean? The Old Ways. Want a slow, hypnotizing camel ride through the desert? The Gates of Istanbul. And those are all just individual examples out of her countless songs that take you to equally amazing times and places.Welcome to an amazing new musical world like no other! :)

[@UnseelieFaelass]

Or if you're in a spooky mood or wanting some new Halloween tunes for your seasonal playlists, The Highwayman & The Stolen Child. Skellig is also a beautiful and heartbreaking track about the monks who resided within skelligs as part of their faith. I'd mention The Old Ways as it's my fave if it hadn't been mentioned previously. As for a beautiful love song though, try Samhain Night. Pure perfection that.

[@UnseelieFaelass]

I'm glad to see more appreciation coming for Lorenna's music with time. I grew up with her music as my Dad and Mother(who came across her as young adults or teens), introduced my sisters and I to her young. I've loved her since I was single digits, but only really began exploring her music past All Souls Night as a young teen before adoring a vast majority of her tracks by the time I graduated high school. Through her and Celtic Woman, I found other bands to love equally. Nightwish, Blackmore's Night, and more. Hell I even came to love and discover Two Steps From Hell, Immediate Music/Globus, & E.S. Posthumus through my love of Lorenna's work. Instrumentals were always a staple of hers after all, with my time as a choir student only strengthening my love for her and other artists I'd soon discover. I'll always be thankful for her work. Speaking of Celtic Woman though, perhaps react to their live performance of Tíer Abháile Ríu(probably mispelled that though, Gaelic is hard no matter the dialect). The girls actually have a full on song fight of a sort(albiet scripted obviously) to really get ya into the mood of the song itself. Also recommend Duláman, The Sky and The Dawn and The Sun, The Awakening, A Spaceman Came Traveling, The Call, You'll Be In My Heart(cover), The Prayer. And anything fiddle player Maíread Nesbitt did for the group before moving on a few years back for a solo career, she has her own channel as well if it makes it easier.

[@doriannedewit9588]

It’s such a wonderful place!!Alhambra in Spain❤️

[@galaxytraveler5779]

I got to see the Alhambra once and it was incredible. All of the Moorish architecture just blew my mind.

[@ChrisEchoes]

Her albums up to Caravanserai are like musical documentaries on which she traces the roots of Irish / Celtic music and culture. Roots that can be traced back to the Mediterranean and even beyond (look up the red haired mummies that were found in China). So right here you see instruments that are usually associated with Celtic music (fiddle, harp , acoustic guitar) combined with instruments from beyond that sphere like the hurdy gurdy, the Turkish oud and various instruments from the Mediterranean. The Alhambra building is in Spain and itself is a example of different influences. Spain was at some point ruled by the Moors and as such you see Arabic influences in the architecture.

[@micheltibon6552]

I have never heard of Loreena Mckennit before. That´s why I like to see reaction video. I will have check her out more. The Alhambra in Granada Spain is one of the places I have to visit. Just before the Covid I was trying to book Granada but it became Lissabon.

[@doughaviland1729]

Lorena is AMAZING! Others to consider are: MUMMERS DANCE DANTES PRAYER THE HIGHWAYMAN GREENSLEEVES

[@anniedh600]

I have Mummer’s Dance as part of my Autumn playlist.

[@christianbolze7092]

Loreena is the queen

[@user-hb9mz2hp2g]

I'm listening to Loreena about 25 years - very original Celtic (and other) folk music. Love her.

[@Rackelhane]

Loreena is magic. I was there in The wonderful palace of the Alhambra when she had her concert in sep. 2006. A magic night i will never forget.

[@rotutube]

I saw her live once. It was pure magic!

[@Christopher.Thompson]

In live? Or Dvd? 😮

[@texasca9753]

Soooo sensuous. Love this song and LM. The Mask and Mirror is my favorite album.

[@ajwhitetig]

Loreena is Gorgeous. She is Queen of the of Fairies. She was the Narrator of the Disney movie “ Tinker Bell”. She also contributed music to the movie. She also contributed movie music to “the Highlander”.

[@mel-belle404]

I absolutely love this 🙂 I love Celtic music and it is soo beautiful. I love the video that goes with it.

[@kmabroukful]

Your jaw dropping when she started singing is the best reaction I’ve seen❤

[@seamus2112ophelan]

That is the hurdy-gurdy thing!! Loved your reaction. You were spellbound!

[@melissadavis755]

You should do a reaction to Loreena's song All Souls Night! One of all time favorites!

[@maxrhiabelleagilityclass4836]

I am blessed to be seeing her in Va. in Oct. It is a dream come true. I can not wait.

[@debraandreason6865]

Loreena McKennitt is an awesome artist. I have had many of her CDs for decades. I introduced myself to her music. I used to subscribe to BMG and Columbia House where one could order CDs once a month. I ordered hers out of curiosity and then of course I ordered more! 💙

[@McDevittMike]

Saw her in concert once; she was magical. By the way, it's definitely not Greece. It's Spain. One of the most famous palaces in the world.

[@lizf2664]

The venue is The Alhambra, a very famous and important historical structure. Very cool indeed. The whole concert was on Netflix for awhile.

[@samsmom1491]

I'm sure someone's already commented on the location, but this was filmed at the Alhambra in Grenada Spain. One of the most beautiful places on earth!

[@mariamary989]

Hello! Most of the instruments have ancient Greek roots. The one with the many strings , that the instrument player plays with the tips of his fingers is /kanonaki/. Kanon in ancient Greek and qanun in Arabic. it is very common in the middle eastern music and as well in traditional Greek music. Those that look like guitar are /laouto/ and /outi/. Both common in the middle eastern music. And lastly, the one that looks like a violin but the player rests it on his knee is /lyra/. Greek traditional instrument, known from ancient Greek history. Very common and in variations in Cretan and Pontian Greek music. All those instruments were used in the Byzantine times. Of course all these instruments are common in the eastern part of the Mediterranian sea , since those countries share so much history.

[@roqueceravolo1969]

Loreena is the maximum of all possible emotions for a human being. I don't think there is such a perfect harmony of all the instruments with her voice in the history of music. This is the divine part of the world.

[@Icurious14u]

Love Loreena's stuff...I remember hearing her for the first time driving to work in the night and a girl lended me a CD of hers and it just blew me away....I was like " "wow" So surreal and out of this world....Thats the best I can do to explain her....She is unique....Like maybe Pink Floyd is in Rock Loreena just captures your mind and takes it to another place.

[@masonsteele1674]

"THE MUMMERS' DANCE" ♥ You won't be disappointed !!

[@reflexxuns767]

She does Celtic music but I very much enjoy belly dancing to a number of her songs! Thank you for reacting to Loreena McKinnett.

[@rosesweet1967]

Love this song❤️

[@r.j4449]

I was there.

[@karin7544]

I love here voice and music. It's a mix of Keltisch and Middle East. Here parents were Irisch and Scottisch. That explains here love for this kind of songs. I like her song Dantes prayer so much. But many songs are great. This is a live show in Spain. I think you'l like Haevn to. Is also different and beautiful. Haevn We Are - Symphonic Tales.

[@thepragmatic6383]

A sublime voice, accompanied by mysterious instruments for ordinary mortals like me. A voice that allows us to believe that there is still beauty in this world, despite the horrors we are witnessing these days.

[@marissamcabee6680]

I grew up listening to this music. Gorgeous! Great reaction. You should also try listening to the band “The Dead Can Dance” with lead vocalist Lisa Gerrard.

[@maritapia7558]

Amo su voz ❤Loreena is amazing 👏👏👏

[@juulwielinga]

I love Celtic music...and She's using arabic sounds as well ❤️ it

Beautiful!

She is a Canadian treasure!

[@Geralt26]

I am a little late witch watching it. But I appreciate Loreena folk music. Listened it a lot and still listen from time to time. She is also great for me :).

[@galaxytraveler5779]

That 'castle' is the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. It is a very impressive piece of ancient Moorish architecture that is common in Spain that I had the privilege of seeing many years back. I only saw Andalusia region of Spain, but it was incredible. It's the only real travelling I have done but would love to go back.

[@amydavidval]

Awesome reaction vid! 👍 👌

[@Feuerkindjana]

When she started singing you looked like you bluescreened 😆 I've been calling her The Fairy for ages ❤

[@yubogolfer4040]

It's the Alhambra in Spain. If I would have known earlier that such a beautiful concert would happen there, I would have taken anything on me to be there. But it's like with quite some concerts of this quality ... sadly late to the party. There is a full DVD with this concert (of course I have it).

[@jessicahimmel7867]

Gorgeous

[@Doaria]

She beringd beautiful music it is very relaxing. The instruments are mediëval.

[@pcankar]

PLEASE check out Loreena McKennitt - Caravanserai. You will be blown away. Performed in the same place.

[@DavidTateVA]

Awesome to hear someone reacting to Loreena. If you like this style, you should definitely check out works by Clannad, Steeleye Span, Blackmore's Night, Donovan, and Fairport Convention. (And yeah, I wish I could get to wander around Alhambra without 10,000 other tourists packed cheek by jowl...)

[@kmabroukful]

The instruments are middle eastern and Asian mostly, there are bagpipes too and a hurdy gurdy probably from a museum 😂 so just relax and enjoy shes one of akind

[@markmclendon8621]

it looks like Moorish Spain....Loreena is mesmerizing

[@devonvergiels5185]

Music is supposed to make you feel this way, closed eyes and sweet feelings.

[@Moctop]

"Night Ride Across The Caucasus" and "The Highwayman".

[@yolorodriguez4794]

So happy me and my friends were obsessed with Loreena Mckennitt in HS and not the awful music our peers were blasting on their radios.

[@Precious-Blood-of-JesusChrist]

Irish Uilleann bag pipes are one of the instruments.

[@ikke5212]

[@sophiepalmer-doran344]

lyrics A clouded dream on an earthly night Hangs upon the crescent moon A voiceless song in an ageless light Sings at the coming dawn Birds in flight are calling there Where the heart moves the stones It's there that my heart is longing for All for the love of you A painting hangs on an ivy wall Nestled in the emerald moss Eyes declare a truce of trust And then it draws me far away Where deep in the desert twilight Sand melts in pools of the sky Darkness lays her crimson cloak Your lamps will call, call me home And so it's there my homage's due Clutched by the still of the night And now I feel, feel you move And every breath is full So it's there my homage's due Clutched by the still of the night Even the distance feels so near All for the love of you A clouded dream on an earthly night Hangs upon the crescent moon A voiceless song in an ageless light Sings at the coming dawn Birds in flight are calling there Where the heart moves the stones It's there that my heart is longing for All for the love of you

[@brinmoody]

Dante's Prayer, The Highwayman, The Old Ways, Stolen Child, Huron "Beltane" Fire Dance, Mummer's Dance, Samain Night, She Moved Through The Faire, All Souls Night, Come By the Hillside, and The Two Trees are all other songs of hers I absolutely adore and recommend for you to react to next. I know several of those she also did at this concert you just reacted to. Most of them I listed I believe she did in that concert with a couple of exceptions. I'd love to see you react to more of her work! She's one of my favourites!

[@donkunes8630]

she traced her Celtic roots to Indo-Europeans and the worship of the elements, nature and mysticism . some of the instruments are ancient . This concert was held at the Alhambra ,Spain . Construction on the palace /fort began in 1238

[@cooksmary]

[@gillesbouvier5176]

Welcome to the Alhambra in Spain.

[@jodyondeck9848]

View SANTIAGO , from THIS CONCERT !!! The dude in the VIOLIN!

[@jodyondeck9848]

Hey there highly combustible, I tell you the truth , that concert , Loreena McKennitt, Nights from the Alhambra, the live concert where are you can see her performing live, they are in Granada, Spain, at the Alhambra! The musicians are incredible! I sold the stage, and the place itself! And she! Please get a chance and watch the whole thing! Sometimes on KZbin, it’s a bit hard to see in its entirety, you have to go on djfantastik 19 videos , there you will find the whole concert almost in its entirety, cept if, a brief deletion of applauses , and when i first watched this concert when it first aired , it was in a little different perspective view . But this is an incredible concert! The Bonny Swan song where the dude playing electric guitar and the violin player talk to each other, echoing back to each other, which I love! And that chick on the cello! And all those instruments that we don’t usually recognize, wow! Dantes prayer gives me chills! Caravanserai is another great one, that piece is talking about a caravan in the Sahara desert. The old ways, is another that gives me chills! The Huron ‘Beltane’ fire dance, wow , the whole stage vibrates, all the musicians are playing together, it’s electric! The whole dang concert , WOWING! Take the time, listen and WATCH, ( some, just a couple pieces, you might not jive with, but hang on and in, ✌️☮️🕊️🥰💖

[@jodyondeck9848]

Also, Dantes prayer, has made me cry , several times, listened to via the nights from the Alhambra, live concert sooo beautiful! BEAUTIFUL. Also The Old Ways, I have cried, listening from same live concert . You ought to look up some of the lyrics to some of the songs in this concert, NIGHTS FROM THE ALHAMBRA. Like the Bonny Swans song, , trippy! And all the songs , look up the lyrics, it draws you in more! Also read the history about the Alhambra, the Moors, the Christians , Islam. The architecture. Anyway , when music, a song , a piece, instruments, instrumentals, can make you cry, and or have a physical / emotional / mental,/ spiritual reaction , that is when you know it is powerful and how it speaks to your soul and spirit. Great pieces of art do this to me! And some of these pieces in this masterpiece of a concert do just that! I would like to suggest to you a couple of songs from a concert. It is more than a concert though, it is called, A Christmas Carol, The Concert. I would like for you to listen to , I will get back to you with the details soon. Lots of love , peace and happiness too. x ( hey , love , peace and happiness, a song , by THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS, are you hep to the Chambers Brothers, or to that song? Give it a listen, my man, ❤️☮️😊

[@beldin2987]

She always reminds me of Clannad, Enya and also a bit Sally Oldfield that i listened to now and then in the 80s. The most know piece however where the singer of Clannad participated is maybe this : Clannad, Bono - In a Lifetime (Official HD Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqqVh2qvh7WVecU this was also maybe one of their more popular ones : Clannad - Theme from Harry's Game (Official HD Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqurhZaui8-LZqs this was already a bit more "poppy", but i also really liked it : Clannad - Something to Believe In (Official Music Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/apvKepWMgJx2as0
