The Book of Secrets is the sixth studio album by Canadian musician Loreena McKennitt. It was the last of the so-called great trilogy, of which this one was perhaps the best most successful, both artistically and commercially: it sold more than four million copies worldwide. Musically, it is a straight continuation from the preceding album, a typical mix of Celtic, Spanish, Italian, and new age influences into her own sound. My picks from the album (as primus inter pares) are
The Mummers' Dance,
Marco Polo,
The Highwayman, and
Night Ride Across The Caucasus.
