Review

"Princess of Flowers" is a healing balm for tired ears and proves Margaret Davis a talent worth noting. --John O'Regan, Radio Limerick, February 5, 1999

Product Description

"Princess of Flowers" takes the listener on a fabulous mythic journey to the times of the troubadours, knights, and ladies. Margaret Davis’s debut recording features her shimmeringly beautiful singing accompanied by the magical interplay of Celtic harp, guitar, mandola, cello, recorders, flute, hurdy-gurdy, Middle Eastern percussion, synthesizer, and the Medieval vielle. This new release features Margaret’s original arrangements of Celtic folk songs, Renaissance dances, and Medieval troubadour melodies. The lyrics, including some in French, Latin, and Gaelic, speak of love and longing, quests and revels, magic and transformation in an evocative style that will transport and enchant the listener. Fans of Loreena McKennitt, Enya, and Maire Brennan will enjoy this exciting CD. Experience the magic!

This review is from: Princess of Flowers (Audio CD)

"Princess of Flowers" is an array of medieval and medieval-inspired British and French folk songs that tend toward the fey and otherworldly, given a warm delivery by Davis. The liner notes give the lyrics and a history and personal interpretation of the songs that add to the experience. I recommend it to fans of Loreena McKennitt and Steeleye Span, and people who are into literate fantasy, medieval history, and/or lush Celtic harp music.
