Totally digging her right now. But, Lisnaholic, I know this is an old thread, but where did you see/hear/read her in the Lord of the Rings soundtrack? I can't find any record of that and am wondering if it was uncredited?

Also, for those who like her, recommendations welcome! I'm getting into her album the "Mask and the Mirror" now. ^_^

I really love her album The Visit, particularly this song. The studio version isn't on YouTube, but here's a live performance:

It's a poem by Tennyson set to music. She's got an incredible voice.

Sorry to have misled you, misspoptart, but I can no longer find any web-page that credits Loreena with being involved in the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. I´m really not sure where the idea came from - it could be that I found a YouTube clip of her covering some L-o-t-R material and thought it was the original. I really can´t remember, I´m afraid.

I guess the lesson to be learnt is that you can´t believe everything you read on the internet. There are some pretty flakey people out there, but I didn´t realize until now that I was one of them.

Hahahah don't be so hard on yourself

I actually got really excited because it would have been really awesome to discover a secret uncredited collaborator.

She did do some really awesome songs that people have associated with Tolkien and his works, and rightfully so! She has a very ethereal tone.
