Other instruments that are also used are common to both musical orders. An Ancient Muse is a wonderful album written entirely by Loreena Mckennitt with the exception of The English Ladye and The Knight, which is written by Sir Walter Scott (1771Co1832), a Scottish novelist and poet. If you care for that mental and spiritual luxury, as much as I do, and if you enjoy a late night listening to down tempo soft music and cherish the wonders of the East and the warm soothing fields of the Celts, then rest assured that LoreenaCOs An Ancient Muse wonCOt let you down.nCyAn Ancient MuseCO A[umlaut] 2003 Jordan Press & publishing Co.
