Legend • The Mummers' Dance • Loreena McKennitt

From the 1985 Ridley Scott film "Legend," with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, David Bennent, Annabelle Lanyon, Cork Hubbert, Alice Playten, Robert Picardo & Billy Barty - HD Film Tributes is a channel that currently has three hundred movie homages uploaded. I make zero money from YouTube as obviously none of this content will ever be monetized by me. Any and all ad revenue from these videos goes directly to Google as well as to the various copyright owners just as it should.

this movie is so underrated! I'm surprised with the rise of the cottage and witchy aesthetics that it hasn't become more well known. The set designs and costumes are unmatched, I always wanted to join Gump's gang of elves in the snowy wood.

This song and this movie goes well together.

That song is is absolutely amazing and beautiful. It suits well with the 1985 movie Legend, along with the unicorns, Gump, the fairies, the little people, Brown Tom, Princess Lily, and Jack. And the strength of the song powered them to fight the forces of evil created by Blix, the goblins and their master, Darkness. I love it, it was not only epic, but magnificent. Fairy tales do come true, I believe.

Finally! This is the only place to find the true original version of this song. Other media outlets have Mummers Dance but it’s completely different sounding. This is the original that I remember hearing in the late 90s. Strange that on Spotify on Loreena Mckennet's album its also that other version but i specifically remember owning her CD and it was this version here that was on it. Anyway, Thank you so much as I searched everywhere and this video is the only place on the internet you'll find the original best version of this song. You should post it on the video title that you play the original version.

When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair

When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone

A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

Me gusta más el video original con esa gente extraña disfrazada. Este es muy artificial o artificioso. A pesar de lo bello que son los caballos , esa belleza no es acompañada por las actuaciones de los protagonistas. Todo resulta una exageración de acciones y movimientos e imágenes que saturan y anulan lo que debió ser armonía en el video. Todo lo contrario del video original que, paradojalmente. a pesar de tener figuras grotescas, está compaginado en una armonía donde la imagen se funde con el relato de la canción.
