An Ancient Muse celebrates the Romantic Past

When I heard the Youtube version of “The Gates of Istanbul” I was more inspired and tempted to listen the other tracks of An Ancient Muse. The story of my pursuit of this album is here. Actually the title of the album is very suggestive of its content – a romantic celebration of the ancient times.

An Ancient Muse by Loreena McKennitt

Nearly decade after the release of “The Book of Secrets”, the Canadian singer Loreena McKennitt had released her album An Ancient Muse in the year 2006. The album gives you a mesmerizing listening experience by fusing the East and West.

After listening to other tracks I am unable to judge which is best. No odd man out here. Each and every track overwhelms us before we could think of the best track. While I was taken off by the journey through the ruins of the Ottoman Empire and the splendor of modern Turkey in “The Gates of Istanbul”, I can’t help loosing myself in the poem of Sir Walter Scott in “The English Ladye and the Knight”. Simply the album is soothing, healing and mesmerizing. There are only few albums that have the power of changing one’s mood and An Ancient Muse by Loreena is no exception.
