An Ancient Muse, her first full-length studio album in nine years, was released in November 2006. All of her work has been released under her own label, Quinlan Road.The Mummers’ Dance is a single by Canadian Celtic Singer Loreena McKennitt from the album The Book of Secrets in 1997. The song reached #3 in Adult Top 40 and The Billboard Hot 100. The song is the theme song of the TV series Legacy.In 2005, McKennitt was involved in an acrimonious court case in England when her former friend and employee, Niema Ash, published a book which contained intimate details of their friendship. McKennitt argued that much of the book contained confidential personal information, which Ash had no right to publish. The English courts found that there had indeed been a breach of confidence and a misuse of McKennitt’s private information, and the case is likely to set important precedents in English law on the privacy of celebrities. The House of Lords affirmed the lower court’s decisions in 2007.In September 2006, McKennitt performed live at the Alhambra. The performance premiered on PBS and in August 2007 was released on a three-disc DVD/CD set entitled Nights from the Alhambra.In 2008, McKennitt composed the song entitled “To The Fairies They Draw Near” as the theme song for Disney’s direct to video animated film Tinker Bell. The film makers were so impressed with her, that they asked her to do the narration for the film.In the Spring of that same year, she returned to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios to record A Midwinter Night’s Dream, an extended version of A Winter Garden (1995). The album will be released in November. Author: DeliveryDad |
