The Mummers' Dance | Loreena McKennitt Cover | Mia Arsenault

One of my most favourite songs, it's one that I've come back to again and again. In fact, Loreena McKennitt is probably one my most listened to artists. I just can't get enough of her old-world folk music.
The first time I heard this song was when I watched Ever After, when was your first time listing to The Mummers' Dance?

The Mummers' Dance by Loreena McKennitt
Produced and performed by Mia Arsenault
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair
When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
Who will go down to the shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
We bring a garland gay
And so they linked their hands and danced
'Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of our Lord's hand
We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
And now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

You found a beautiful spot to perform this. Did you use Garage Band for the recording? Loved this.

[@MiaArsenault]

Thank you so much! The weeping willows here are my favourite, there's something so otherworldly about them 🌳✨ And not Garage Band, I use FL Studio 😊
