I had a couple questions about the music we played at last night\u2019s Denton CUUPS<\/a> Samhain Circle. Here\u2019s what I could find on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Prelude:<\/b> Dead Can Dance \u2013 The Host of Seraphim<\/i><\/p>\n

This was intended to be a focusing piece \u2013 music to get everyone to stop their conversations, forget about everything outside the circle, forget about what had gone on earlier in the day and think about nothing but where we were and what we were doing. I don\u2019t usually get anxious about circles any more, but I was very anxious about this one. In the six minutes it took to listen to this song that all changed for me. <\/p>\n

Approaching the Labyrinth:<\/b> Dead Can Dance \u2013 Sanvean<\/i><\/p>\n

Walking the Labyrinth:<\/b> Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares (The Bulgarian Female Vocal Choir) \u2013 Kalimankou Denkou<\/i> (The Evening Gathering<\/i>)<\/p>\n

Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares (The Bulgarian Female Vocal Choir) \u2013 Messetschinko lio Greilivko<\/i> (Love Song From the Mountains<\/i>)<\/p>\n

Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares (The Bulgarian Female Vocal Choir) \u2013 Polegnala e Pschenitza<\/i> (Harvest Song From Thrace<\/i>)<\/p>\n

Returning From the Labyrinth:<\/b> Faun \u2013 Lupercalia<\/i><\/p>\n

Dead Can Dance \u2013 The Lotus Eaters<\/i><\/p>\n

Simple Feast:<\/b> S.J. Tucker \u2013 Come to the Labyrinth<\/i><\/p>\n

I picked this video because it\u2019s a live performance. Tricky Pixie is S.J. Tucker\u2019s group project \u2013 that\u2019s S.J. singing and playing guitar.<\/p>\n

Damh the Bard \u2013 Morrighan<\/i><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
