Until I followed up on your post,
E.Vil, I didn`t realize that this woman`s music is featured on
The Lord of The Rings soundtrack. I thought she had a great, versatile voice, which was strong enough at times to penetrate music that is beautiful, but a bit too smooth and orchestrated for my liking.
If, as you say,you enjoy Loreena`s music, you might like to look for
From Spain To Spain by
Vox. It`s an exceptionally fine album of medieval music played on traditional instruments, with some delicate touches of synthesizer and more lilting female vocals. You`d probably like the opening track which has a slow, sinister build-up driven by the
oud,or Arabic lute, the instrument that also lends a distinctive flavour to Loreena`s song,
The Mummer`s Dance :-
Unfortunately,though,
Vox don`t show up anywhere on Youtube, so I can`t post a sample.
