I'm not much of a reviewer like some folks who post here, but I had to throw in my two pence about this cd. I put it on and my heart just springs out of my chest. My very soul dances around to these beautiful melodies. I cannot imagine NOT having this cd. At present, I seem to have lost my copy (My kids like it, too, and it frequently gets misplaced), but I've got to have another copy soon, or I'll enter withdrawal...

Best going-to-Pennsic music I know of!

This is without a doubt my favorite of all of Heather Dale albums. The Trial of Lancelot is a beautiful song of forbidden love and many different reactions to it. Hawthorne Tree is a song about a woman that steals Merlin's power and the powerlessness of everyone about them to stop it. Each of these songs feature the heavenly voice of Heather Dale. I recommend these songs to all overs of celtic music, King Arthur fans and those that still believe in honor.

With her CD "The Trial of Lancelot", Toronto-based singer-songwriter Heather Dale has crafted a journey into King Arthur's Court which draws these legends forward into the present day.

The idea for this project came in 1995, while Heather was studying the Arthurian Legends. She realized that they were not just ancient fables, but they were also relevant to the experience of any person living in the 20th century. "Everyone can relate to falling in love with the wrong person at the wrong time," Heather says. "The ancient setting may heighten the impact of the story... but the emotions are universal." With lush orchestration and Celtic-inspired vocals, this Modern Celtic recording bridges the gap between the traditional and the new.

A versatile vocalist and instrumentalist, Heather has a broad fan base which spans from the USA to Scandinavia. "The Trial of Lancelot" appeals not only to the ardent Medievalist, but to everyone with a love of adventure and romance.

After hearing this music used in some BBC Merlin Series fan made clips, i like the music very much, very relaxing, motivational and inspiring music, cant wait to buyt he rest of her Cd's
