Subject: Mc Kennitt From: GUEST,Jeremie (France) Date: 04 Sep 01 - 11:13 AM Hi Floks ! I am looking for lyrics from Loreena McKennitt, but there is none of her song in Mudcat database (or I mised them..) Titles requested are :
Night ride across the Caucasus Isn't she considered as a "typical irish woman", so she does not appear in Mudcat, or is it again a matter of copyrights ? Thanks a lot ! Jeremie. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mc Kennitt From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 04 Sep 01 - 11:29 AM You are probably using the wrong search engine. The best of several available on this site is the "Digitrad and Forum Search", which you will find on the main Forum page. McKennitt is a popular performer who has been discussed here quite a lot, and lyrics for a number of songs she has recorded have been posted in the Forum, though likely enough few if any have so far made it into the Digital Tradition database. For more about how the DT and Mudcat work, see the FAQ thread at the top of the threads list on the main Forum page. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mc Kennitt From: KathWestra Date: 04 Sep 01 - 11:32 AM Buy her CDs! Lyrics to all her songs are included in the CD booklet -- along with some of the most interesting liner notes I've ever read. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mc Kennitt From: Metchosin Date: 04 Sep 01 - 12:25 PM Loreena McKennit's official Website contains a complete discography and most of her lyrics click this link |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mc Kennitt From: Metchosin Date: 04 Sep 01 - 12:39 PM The lyrics for A Night Ride Across the Caucasus and Dante's Prayer are at her site on the Book of Secrets CD. I'm not sure what you mean by a "typical Irishwoman", maybe perhaps that she sings some "traditional songs", but Loreena McKennit is Canadian. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mc Kennitt From: MMario Date: 04 Sep 01 - 12:46 PM "The Bonny Swans" is a variant on the "Two Sisters" - if you search on that you will get tons of discussion and lyrics. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mc Kennitt From: Joe Offer Date: 05 Sep 01 - 04:17 AM Hi, Jeremie - the others have given good information. Loreena McKennitt sings mostly traditional songs, but she adds her own variations. We have many of those same songs in our Digital Tradition Folk Song Database, but usually not her specific version. We emphasize the songs here, not the performer. We prefer the historic version of a song, rather than a version modified by a modern performer. Loreena McKennitt does a very good job of supplying lyrics for her recordings. This is a good thing, because her diction leaves something to be desired [grin] (I'll admit her singing sounds beautiful). She has her own record label, Quinlan Road, and you can find her website at http://www.quinlanroad.com (click). I think she has lyrics for all her recordings at the Website - Click here for lyrics. I hope that answers your question. -Joe Offer- |
